Stadium

The match takes place at the Leigh Sports Village, a modern stadium in the town of Leigh that has been the home of the Leopards, or the Centurions, since the 2009 season.

The stadium features 4 separate stands, each of which are about the same size, with one featuring just general access seating that runs the full length of the field, one been just general access seating that is at one end of the ground and one main stand that runs the other length of the field and features a mixture of general access seating and corporate hospitality.

The final stand is a large terrace that runs along one end of the stadium which all comes together to allow for around 12,000 fans to be at the match live in attendance and whilst the house full signs may not go up for this match due to the understandably limited number of away fans in attendance, there will be a bumper crowd in attendance an a great atmosphere- as is always the case at the LSV.

Location

The Greater Manchester town of Leigh is the host of this match and as a neighbour to the town of Wigan and on the doorstep of St Helens, Warrington, Salford and Widnes, it will be no surprise that the town is a hotbed of the sport.

With a professional club and leading amateur sides, the sport is not only popular on the spectator side, but numerous players also come from the town, which does link it to the city of Toulouse as the same can be said about the French city.

On a wider scale, the town of Leigh is in the northwest of England, on the western edge of the M62 motorway which is often thought of as the corridor of the sport’s traditional northern heartlands of Rugby League.

About

There are a lot of similarities between the 2 clubs as they are both based in the heartlands of the sport in their retrospective countries, both play in the shadow of a near neighbour, and both have had spells in the lower leagues as well as the topflight.

That just highlights the importance of a win in match such as this one as both know just how important form and confidence is.
