[quote="spener"]you take some pleasing....brand spanking new stadium to sit in....maybe if you were as passionate as 'the old oman' wwho shouts like anyone else but louder... and the drum 'dick'.. you might actually get round to winning a game there....from what I saw there were plenty of empty seats where you could have 'drummed' up your own atmosphere

We have plenty of passion at Leigh but there is a big difference between passion and blatant biased winding up,
I don't mind a bit of banter but when it gets nasty with 2 kids sat either side of you its not great,or maybe it is in yorkshire?[/b]

my son had an u16s game tonight at the miners and by the time we got to the south stand 7.40 all the turnstiles were shut.it then took another 10 mins at the top end of the south end for a steward to send us back to the other end of the south stand.in total missed first 20mins.
on way out one young leigh lady very upset by the behaviour of only a hand full of featherstone fans foul language in front off her two young children.turnstiles should open longer than that ,2 other people wre trying to get in as well.great idea to put leigh families in with away supporters everything from top to bottom is totally wrong at the club..everything im k.......d now.

the tickets you got were FREE, we had to pay to watch, what do you want for nowt.

'Passion'....now theres a word.....if that includes spitting and throwing coins at opposing fans from above in the old HP then I've seen your passion 1st hand......I havent spoke to score points, I feel your beef at the passion shown by opposing fans is unjust

as regarding segregation, i thought the north stand would be home supporters only, are the widnes/halifax games gonna be segregated??? you would hope so and y can we not ave segregation and dont come the stewardin issues, stick em in the west stand at the far end as the west stand is always fully stewarded, then south stand for bigger gates. and if ya thought the drummer was bad hows about all the kids with those clapping effergies ha ha

The day Rugby League has to segregate the fans is time to call it a day. Talking and having a laugh with the opposition fans is part of what is good about our sport. We were put in the West Stand mixed up with Leigh fans and we all seemed to get on well. Relax, enjoy yourselves and stop whingeing. Whilst we are on about noise. Why should I have to listen to rubbish music played at an intolerable level and distorted at that. !

I found having to queue up twice to actually get into the stadium rather annoying, god knows what it would be like if thousands were trying to get in. We were sat in the west stand behind a few Leigh fans and a couple of them were hell bent on attempting to wind folk up but failed miserably, everytime we shouted for Fev they had to pass comments etc, one of the guys i recognised from previous games between Fev and Leigh and is always the same.
