Sounds like Derek is doing the rest of the league’s fans a favour



(This is in jest)

Hard to argue with Durham Giant......sadly. I wonder if other clubs (like Huddersfield) who we have prohibited OurLeague from showing their games at Leigh, will return the favour when we have to play at their ground. Considering that 90% of Leigh supporters did not ask for a ST refund last season, and then bought one for this one not knowing how many (and if) games they would be able to watch. As a PR exercise it's a disaster, folk have long memories, and Beaumont is bang out of order. No wonder he's not on social media right now....

He did it to Wigan as well, until enough people kicked up a fuss that the decision was reversed.

Completely agree with this post. I'm a leigh fan and I would go to every home game normally. Unfortunately due to work circumstances at the time I couldn't afford a season ticket and now I can't justify paying an extra £10 a game than last year. I wish the club all the best this year but they've Completely priced some fans out. Like somebody has already said, he's taken himself off social media because he didn't want the negativity. I'm not surprised he has done that now.

Leigh against Huddersfield is a mouth watering prospect too.

This is different. Fans (paying) from both clubs have been given the option to attend, so no excuse. I would agree that it's a bit pricey tho.

Leigh v everyone is a good watch this season.

Last time they were in SL they certainly ruffled a few feathers, with some notable scalps.
This time around, putting a squad together at ridiculously short notice, they are still giving it a go.

Perhaps if you weren't so bitter, you could enjoy the rugby on view, if you were allowed to watch

It has to be said that, when away fans aren't supposed to travel, there should be something done to allow some kind of pay per view for away fans (and others) who, unlike you, enjoy their RL.

Essentially wasn't the Our League thing set up when fans couldn't attend - and in the situation described, with still tickets available for both home & away supporters, isn't it reasonable that physical attendance takes the priority over a streamed game.

When Bradford were streaming games online 3 years ago they were hammered on here because it was unthinkable that a club would allow fans to watch away games for free at the expense of the home team selling tickets. I fail to see how this is any different?

Maybe you could ask Mr Davey to subsidise your away ticket in the same way he subsidises your home & Season Tickets ?
It's OK for Huddersfield to charge £3.99 for a dozen Season Tickets but it is a flawed *see £€CK€D* business model & devalues the sport. Alternatively maybe you could ask Mr Davey & Co to give Leigh the other half of our Sky TV money ?

No ?

Thought not.

Looking forward to seeing the army of 90 travelling Giants fans again !

I understand why the prices have gone up we have received a lot less then other teams from funding so the away clubs should show some understanding really
I’m would pay £30 if I didn't have a season ticket to watch my team but others don’t want to it’s their choice

Feel sorry for the Leigh fans having to pay £30 to watch their team get mullered .

Nice one Degsy

Wonder how many will pay £30 at the next game. ?

Apart from when Warrington visit, it will be probably our only attendance over 2K (2008 today)
