LEIGH LEOPARDS STATEMENT FROM THE OPERATIONAL BOARD

Leigh Leopards wish to inform supporters that following an extensive investigation a total of ten people have been identified and interviewed in connection with the pyrotechnics incident at Wigan Warriors for the Betfred Playoff Semi Final on 5 October. 

As a result of the investigation, a total of seven people have been issued a suspended six-month ban. In addition, two people were issued with a full one-year ban and one person with an indefinite ban. 

The club would like to remind supporters that pyrotechnics are prohibited in stadiums and are against the stadium, club and RFL polices. For the safety of all, we remind supporters that Leigh Leopards will not tolerate the use of any pyrotechnics at fixtures both at home or away and we will impose sanctions for a breach of these regulations. 

The club would like to place on record its thanks to the authorities, Wigan Warriors and its supporters for supporting the investigation.

We look forward to focusing on the 2025 season ahead and trust that supporters will enjoy another fantastic season safely for the enjoyment of all.
