Great to have a 20,000 crowd - hopefully we can get in and around that for all Leigh games moving forward.

Squad picks itself outside of deciding whether to go with 5 out and out props or to go with Walters on the bench.

Should be a good game and will be interesting to see how Leigh line up with a few new additions. I’m confident we can win but you never know

Lots of new faces at Leigh but it looks like they've had a very good preseason with a comprehensive win in the cup to wrap it up, should be a cracking opening night.

Not a single player in that squad would get into the Saints team............

In all seriousness, should be a good night

You are wrong,Farrell will get on the subs bench

Not many decisions for Peet to make other than 5 props or 4 plus Walter, as noted above. Leigh will be a bit of an unknown quantity, both because of new players and also because Lam likes to throw a few '50/50' tags on players. I think they'll be a handful in attack this year Leigh, so we'll have to defend well.

Looking forward to the whole event, which is exactly what the club have made it, with the music, lights, Michael Buffer etc. No light up posts though and we riot!

Byrne over Walters for me, think LB will have a big farewell season.

Only single seats left, massive crowd. Huge well done to the club for the marketing.

The brick has its faults but it’s great when full.

Before every Leigh game I always think - “they’ll beat us at sometime”

Looking forward to watching Armstrong.

Wondering what the deal is with the ticket availability because there are only singles left in the Wigan areas that have been on sale but I don't think they ever put the last 3 of blocks at the North end of the East Stand on sale. Maybe a designated stage for the Lathums is my best guess. I know Jukesays told us about the issues with the seats prior to the WCC but this seems a bigger area.

Either way a crowd in excess of 20k will be on, which is an incredible effort on a Thursday night.

At the weekend hardly any of E2/3 had been sold, reckon they've taken those blocks off sale for a bit to cram everyone together, wouldn't be at all surprised to see them back on sale tomorrow

Aye, you'd imagine so if they can. It's great to be looking at possibly needing more availability. It should be a cracking night.

Think we averaged around 15k last year. Would be great to bump that up to 17k.

Target fixtures - no reason, Warrington Saints and Hull KR can’t get to 20k as well.

As I said last year for the WCC, they should have sellers outsider signing people up to season tickets. A lot of that crowd won’t be signed up yet.
