Whats been planned for this launch Fred?

The launch is being held at LSV with each team sending a player and a 'legend'. They will be photographed in their respective kits - I think we've got AJM in a '71 kit (that's if they can find one!!)

Should be John Woods (a Leigh lad) in a 1981 kit!

Depends how much LSV was to to hire and other stadiums like Keepmoat.

Keepmoat as mentioned had a good crowd against Wales and maybe the RFL want to follow up from that.

Wigan have one game and so maybe thats a reason why Doncaster got the French gig

I'd say its a racing certainty that Wigan getting a game gave the LSV no chance,its time will come.

I have to say I have never been there. Is it as good as the LSV?

Never been myself but many fans like it as seems to have a good atmosphere and close to the action. I think because the KC did not want to hold a game thats why Donny got it rather than Leigh. Maybe if Hull hosted the Australia game then Leigh or Widnes would have hosted the France game.

very nice stadium not like ours in that its a 'bowl' like the KC, not sat in the ground but all the press and such facilities seemed 1st rate and the tv gantry was on the 'correct side - main side.
