well that's knocked a couple of thousand off the gate then.

Its described as Reserves on their web site, I expect 8-10 squad numbers and the rest from the 20's - a team that on paper should beat ours (it would cost more) and provide a great game. Thaler would not be reffing an under 20's match.

I'd imagine our club will make a statement about this soon.

TBH its up to wigan to name what kind of squad they're going to bring not Leigh.

Wigan will tell Leigh what sort of squad to expect, we are on good terms with them now basil has gone. Wigan play a few days before so they was never gonna send a squad full of first teamers . They'll play the lads we would be getting on DC to see if they are good enough to get in our squad

Much as I 'predicted' last week [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=22&t=516089Here[/url!!



Don't expect many 'squad numbers' below 25!!!



Another potential 4-5k crowd that will now be less than half that figure!!

I will bet you its a bigger gate than the fax one.

Why?,what purpose will it serve?.They 've already put on there own website that they'll be sending there reserves.

Should read Thaler should not be reffing. Full stop.

It has been advertised for a while that it's their 20's! Wouldn't really expect any 1st teamers. They play barrow this week and think there will even be a couple of the 18's in there! Chance to look who'll be good enough for a dual contract anyway!

Will this W1gan reserves side be wearing a different shirt or something? For me its players representing that club from across the border.

Should be a much evenly contested game, and a better spectacle.

They do, but it's Salford they play just before us - if they've seen the friendly last week they could do worse than decide to shift a couple of first teamers across to the the squad for the Leigh game......
