I'm assuming there isn't one already? Had a quick look and could find nowt. Makes sense to have an official thread since there seem to be plenty of egg chasing fans on here

 

Anyhow, this has just been announced:

Will be a fucking brilliant day out, that! Leigh had better make it there now (although if we keep sticking 52 past everyone we shouldn't have much trouble)

I would love Leigh to batter Wigan tonight but just can't see it

They got robbed.

They did, the ref definitely leant towards Wigan

A nice warm up for tonight, just watched my grandson's team, Leigh Miners under 12's, beat Heysham 22-0 in the North West Counties Grand Final at Pilkington's in St Helens, excellent atmosphere

Any dodgy streams for this final?

Superb!!

All four trophies 

The John Monie era was incredible but this was beating teams on a similar level

Bevan French is just a different gravy

I sometimes wish I was brought up on Rugby rather than football. The fans always seem to get along (I was in Manchester yesterday afternoon) and have a really good time. Not sure who I’d support though. Wigan, Leigh or Salford.🤷‍♂️ My one and only attendance at a rugby match was at Salford. 
little edit. Cricket will always come first.

I’ve always followed Leigh but when I was in the police covered hundreds of Warrington games as overtime. Never saw any trouble other than once walking out after the game on my own and some Hull fans getting a bit gobby on Wilderspool Causeway. Told them to shut up and they did. Although I did see a massive street fight in Leigh after a night game against Salford on my home from a late shift. They were proper going at it. Both sets.

Think they’ve got another couple of years to go to get to that level. Not sure how many of the current crop would get in the 1994 team, but Liam Farrell and Bevan French would certainly be up there for me.

Oh definitely. Completely agree. What I was trying to say quite badly was back in those days the gulf between Wigan and most teams was massive whereas nowadays teams are not too far apart from each other

Lancashire Cup final today for Leigh Miners under 13's V Orrell, 

Miners lost 18 - 4, outplayed all over by a team who seemed up for it more, by Christ there are some bloody big lads from Wigan at 12 years old, a 20 lad brawl near the end showed they are learning the ropes from their professional counterparts

Great win for Leigh

0-1 against Wigan! 🤣
