My dear Freddy, the exact point you make about there being more things for kids to do these days is precisely why all u17`s should be welcomed with open arms & not charged a penny for getting in. Quite frankly your idea that free entrance should be linked to some kind of school performance rating is utterly absurd & completely unworkable. Finally your suggestion to give tickets to junior RL club members is a very good starting point, however you immediately punish all those kids who want to watch RL but for whatever reason cannot be members of local clubs.
The Watcher truly believes that Leigh RLFC could lead the RL world by allowing all people who are 16 or younger in for free, it is the future.
The Watcher wonders how much Leigh take in gate receipts from U17`s & would it not be possible for LISA, for example, to cover that money & then allow all kids in for nowt & see if there is any interest out there ?
Freddy is correct on one point when he obviously states that a good team will attract more speccies than a bad one, that really is a given though is it not.

unworkable to reward kids for good performance? punish kids who show no time for the sport? the watcher obviously does not know the point of LISA or its constitution
Is the watcher a member of lisa?

What would be best is if LISA, LSV and the club sat down with the fixture list and agreed their ticketing strategy for the season (ie. when special offers can be put on, what they should be, who they should be offered to, how, etc).

They could also plan for additional 'unusual' games (eg. Thursday night, CC games, etc) so you're not having to wait until after it's announced that a game is on SKY, or the cup draw is done before discussing/deciding what offers should be.

This would also help 'fair-weather fans' like Peawapp decide whether the season ticket is good value for money or not?!

And here's me thinking nothing could break the brotherhood of the NCL Mr C!

I suppose this means that Centurions'll be sending you a video of the Brow for the next round.

Cheers Marra, same to you for your game. Should be a great weekend for RL in Leigh for all those that love the game from the grassroots upwards. I'm really looking forward to seeing your facilities at the LSV. Never made it down for our game with you in the league but I did having a passing look on the way to Miners, looked very impressive indeed!
