LEIGH RMI are hoping they will get a bumper crowd in three weeks for their next home game against Margate.

The Conference fixture against the Kent outfit has been brought forward from December 29 to December 8 and officials are hoping fans will help ease their financial plight by coming out in large numbers.

Manager Steve Waywell said: "It suits us because we had no fixture that weekend. We need a home game to see what reaction we will get from people.

"They have heard of our difficulties we now want to know if they will come through the gates and support us."
