Leigh don't make any money on sales of food and drink

Just out of interest what price is it to sit in the Carnegie stand at Leeds ?

An average of 7-8,000 for the season wouldn't be bad at all for a first season back in SL.

Just checked , to buy on line a ticket for block N in the Carnegie stand for Leeds v Salford , total cost £ 28.50

I rest my case

Firstly ticket prices are for all fans not away fans. The club decided to reduce prices for the less attractive fixtures, Leeds was never considered less attractive. A comparison would be £20 to stand in an uncovered terrace at Headingley for away fans, to have a roof over your head and a seat the price gets towards £30. Then add on parking and the LSV becomes a bargain, I tend to feel those who intended to go will go those looking for reasons not to will find them - your ticket sales are swift at present and it looks like you will fill the away end.

£ 28.50 for a seat in the Carnegie stand

Whoever did the maths needs to go back to school , no wonder its usually empty

Would be delighted if it was many.
4700 at hilton park in 2005 so 6k over the season would be good
Fridays game should be a good marker, hopefully North and west stands are sold out

Depending upon where we are after 6 weeks we will be between 5500- 7000 average. We need to build a fan base for SL, it will take time to get it right, we built a Championship fan base on Sunday 3pm with lots of kids and families, we then got the SL fixtures and the amount of Thurs/fri games knocked the steam out of ST sales, we have 1 Sunday game and 2 Saturdays in stage 1, I suppose being new boys attracted the cameras. Sales are good for Friday and a fair wind in the biggest selling days to come may see over 10k in, the atmosphere will be electric

But virtually no away fans go in the Carnegie stand. They go in the much cheaper western terrace. Yes the odd away fan will CHOOSE to pay more and have a seat but 95%+ go for the cheapest option, which at newly promoted Leigh is £25. At the games most successful Super League club, Leeds, its £20.

Unlike you, I sit in the Carnegie Stand at every Leeds Rhino's regular season superleague game & I can assure you that it is far from empty.

Yes, the day the games are played can have a big impact on attendance. Leigh will get plenty of air time from SKY this year so i expect there will be plenty of Thursday / friday nights that will have an impact on whether people can make it on a regular basis. Leigh will need to make LSV a fortress this year to avoid middle 8's... good luck for the season, this weekend aside of course

I really dont think £25- £30 for an adult seat ticket at any ground is bad, we all no football charge massively more and get full stadiums, time Rl fans in so called heartland areas started putting up or shutting up, Leigh in super league should be house full signs every week, in fact every club should have a waiting list for season tickets as average ground side is only about 10-12k

Really? Leeds United adult tickets are £21-£32

£21 is for a restricted view or in the corner. A good seat in the cop end is more than £25 plus Leeds united are second tier team not premier league, bet it they get promoted prices will rocket. It's £40 behind posts at old Trafford and Man U not the most expensive club either.

You've got all precious and missed the point. Most away fans want to stand, and they want the cheapest option available. A massive majority of away fans at Headingley do chose the cheapest option, available at £20. Your cheapest option is the most expensive for away fans in Superleague, and it is because of who we are. Make no mistake, a large number of RL fans feel they are being exploited. Away games on Monday, Thursday nights over the other side of the biggest traffic jam in England, games being switched at short notice, and now a couple of quid on top because we're Leeds. I have SKY because I like watching the RL, and for the first time I can remember I will choose to watch on TV because it's not worth £25 apiece for me and the missus on top of the fuel and being sat on the M62 for at least a couple of hours. Leigh may have a financial plan that involves ripping off away fans, but it's not one I subscribe to. I think it's a dangerous road to go down when the crowds have been falling so much in Superleague. Hull raised their prices a couple of years back and away fans just stopped attending, they quickly had a rethink. You may have a few first timers wanting to cross Leigh off the list, but when they've done it a few won't bother next season at those prices.

There will not be hordes of Chinese or Indians to fill our seats at £40 if we jack the prices up. Football has a whole new demographic watching games live nowadays, it's not one that will fill empty seats at Headingley if you started pricing people out.
