HARROGATE Town boss Neil Aspin eventually got his wish as his charges beat struggling Leigh RMI 2-1 in Conference North - but he spent most of the game watching from the stands.
Aspin had called for Town to make their Wetherby Road ground a fortress after some indifferent displays in front of their own fans this season.
But the visitors took a shock lead when Edward Hussin drove a low shot past James Lindley in the Town goal after 24 minutes.
Aspin was then dismissed from the dug out for a protest to the assistant referee.
It took Town until the 70th minute to level it up when the influential Colin Hunter blasted home a Roy Hunter cross as the home crowd was starting to become frustrated.
Hunter was soon involved again - laying off a pass into the path of former York City player Dave Merris, who struck a 25-yard screamer past Lamb.
