You soccer people don't understand the meaning of the word "excitement".

Or a lot of other words either.

So we win the play-offs and then we get a chance to be promoted in three years, in an announcement on Sky Sports News. Sounds riveting.

Enjoy the 'excitement' of the play-offs, see you all next season.

No wonder the FA Cup's lost its charm.

Maybe the winners should get promoted to something - like the Northern Rail Cup.

What happened to the idea that you just entered a competition to see if you win it ? Why is everyone so obsessed with the idea of promotion to something?

Leigh is a nightmare to reach, if you dont drive. If you do its nice and easy to reach the stadium just a pain in the rectum to get out afterwards.

I have to say i like the play-offs, it is a massive negative having no promotion to chase but thats another argument. I think the format should be changed from what it is now to a step-ladder format.

Not that bad if you think about it, as we're within easy reach of main line stations at Warrington, W*gan, Bolton & Manchester, all with regular bus services to Leigh.

Was nice to see Leigh fans in early and I hope that they didn't have problems getting in.

The automatic tickets must work OK for United when they have 20000 plus but a bit overkill for the Eagles, however as lodgers we have to go by their rules.

Interesting you think that we were in early as our minibus arrived 3 minutes before kick off, and that was after passing the club coach which has on the opposite carriageway! Certainly showed the benefit of buying in advance though as we waltzed straight through.

Those turnstiles must be impressively wide.

No there were a few in a good 20 minutes before the kick off
