Why's that?

14th February 2010 in a NRC group game, I think. I remember it well, as it was a romantic Valentine's Day present for her indoors!

Surely the "unique relationship" with the LSV should mean that Leigh have first refusal?

I was cautious of putting to much info into the public domain but Its out there via Fev CEO Craig Poskitt Twitter account:



@poskitt_craig: Just to confirm @InfoFevRovers that no game has been confirmed by @TheRFL for for any tie at LSV. FR have declined to play Friday evening.



@poskitt_craig: The RFL have been made aware of our feelings, functions at LSV will seemingly dictate the outcome which is disappointing to say the least



@poskitt_craig: LSV have confirmed they won't allow 2 games in 1 day but had 3 for the GF day????



@poskitt_craig: Also to confirm @InfoFevRovers the game cannot be played on Sat'dy due to a wedding taking place at LSV, we are still fighting our corner



From that you can see Fev don't want Friday Night, Saturday is not available due to a wedding and Swinton will be allowed to play Sunday I believe as there is a function booked but a small crowd of 400 won't effect it however our larger crowd would have.



Hard to see any option than Friday night at moment guys.

What bunch of soft asses Featherstone Rovers are these days. The number of occasions we have gone over to their place on a Thursday night in recent seasons and just got on with it ! Why, what's their problem with facing Leigh on a Friday night? Scared of the dark?



We have travelled over to Bradford and Wakefield at this stage of the competition in the past 3 seasons, not forgetting the tie at Wigan last season. All of them Friday night encounters.



God give me strength, The game has gone to pot mon.

As stated in my earlier response to 'spener', Fev have played midweek (plus once on Saturday) at LSV in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. They should be used to it by now.

I just knew the coffin dodgers on here would get their knickers in a twist over a Friday night game!

really looking forward to a night game under the flood lights. Come on leigh!!

Friday is reet enough, not sure why Fev are getting so worked up about it considering how many times we've gone over there midweek. A few of theirs on Twitter seem to have started the annual "we own our ground" jamboree a little early as well. Yawn.

Friday nights work ask Wigan, Leeds etc etc



Best game as a Leigh Fan and atmosphere in recent years was Friday night against Catalan Dragons.



Added bonus is Fev don't want it, don't like it and if we want to progress and get an even bigger draw and a real money spinner next round then we need every advantage possible.



Players tweeting that they want Friday also.



Friday night under floodlights good old fashioned cup tie with loads of biff oh yes please

With respect are we saying that Swinton Lions (as a non local RL team) and a function have determined when Leigh Centurions (a club trying to get in SL) play there matches ?



The Fev guy makes a number of valid points.

Aside from the Grand Final I'm sure we have played a Cup tie or a game on the same day as Swinton Lions as a double header.

Why are the LSV taking Sunday bookings during the rugby season when they have two RL teams playing there?
