Was really looking forward to SL but I can't get to Friday night games. It appears my 60 years of attending Leigh games is over. P*ssed off!!

No home games Sunday is rubbish

Change the name to Leigh Fridays

Friday the 13?

Bongser's gonna have the same problems as WYSIWYG. He'll see most second halves with a beer in his hand in an Athy pub, but not much at LSV unless he can manipulate the work rota.

I wonder why?

Re: Fixtures : Thu Nov 03, 2022 12:57 pm  

DB has changed the name, the colours and game days all without consulting the fans without which you have no club. I know he owns the club and brought the good times back, but at least involve the fans in big decisions or do we not count.

Cardiff City fans didn't tolerate it about 9 years ago.

Thursday/Friday is Super League standard fixtures. If you want Sunday Rugby you need to support a Championship side.

I prefer Sunday afternoons but I would rather be at the top table, troughing on the Sky money.

Why are folks suddenly surprised that we won't have any Sunday home games. Its not long ago that we experienced SL and the Thursday and Friday ko . Far better than a Monday night on PS IMHO.

Yeah, I'm not surprised, would prefer a few Thursdays and no Saturdays but maybe it will be the dreaded *all fixtures are subject to change* with minimum notice.

You could always try and book your wedding and party events for those dates to try and get the matches moved to a Sunday, it seemed to happen last season.

The below fixture list that was compiled in Excel won't look pretty on RLFans but should be copy & pastable into Excel or Google Sheets etc for easier reading. Home opposition are capitalized:

There will be three “Battles of the Busway”; two at LSV. LEIGH’s Magic Weekend Oppo is Wakefield. We also play Catalans three times (twice in Perpignan)*, as we do Hull KR (twice away) and The Pie-Eaters (twice at LSV).
Due to the pitch at LSV being re-laid, Leigh will have no home fixtures between June 30th and August 19th.

Bongser at your service.

* Should Leigh be no longer involved in The Challenge Cup by that stage don't be surprised if DB flies the squad out to the South of France for the best part of a fortnight!
