I think that's a great idea Fred, and for those who don't purchase Bronze, Silver or Gold Packages, they could make a small one off donation to get access to the site

Sorry to ask if this has already been covered, but - as Walt Jnr. will be 13 in Dec, he falls outside the remit of the Junior Centurions - is there a plan in place for a membership scheme for the teenagers??

Ive gone for the silver on the assumption that my LISA sub will be reduced by £5 pm, if not then its Bronze as any more than £30 pm will result in serious injury if her indoors finds out!
Frank tells me we owe quite a bit, We really need 150 people to take out a £1000 loan with the bank in question payable at £20 pm (approx) for 5 years to cover the debt. In return the club could give each person a free season ticket for 5 years and other benefits linked to the silver package. This woulld save the club about £14k per year in interest charges on this debt, but it does involve a 5 year personal commitment. The plus is the club would have no debt. In 5 years time the Touchdown club would probably receive a membership surge as the personal loans are repaid.

It was said last night that there are no plans at this stage for anyone over primary school age.

The justification was that in the past some people would have a child's ticket and they were well past 16 (I won't name and shame, but a famous poll creator may have been guilty of this in his late teens)

However if all these tickets are being distributed through schools then could this be properly monitored in High Schools? If they come via a headteacher or organiser who would authorise it from each school, it'd stop anyone from cheating the system. Maybe charge the High Schoolers a little more than the Junior Schoolers. The more people we can get in to the ground the better, and the High Schoolers are not far off the age to start giving us real money!

Having said that, I appreciate it's easy for me to assume this not knowing the organisation behind the scenes, and costs of this and of course it's probably all done by hard working volunteers - just an idea from me.

I though the stat that Alan gave, that we used to have over 800 junior members, was amazing btw

Aw come on Moe, that's slander!

Like I said though it would depend whether the new coach would want any internet access at all, it's something that would have to be ironed out with the new guy, I will try and make it one of my priorities as and when he is in place.

I thought when it was written down it was libel ??

But don't worry mate, you've put enough money in since your teens, no one can dispute your commitment

Ah, so it's going to be a bloke then?

All stemmed from a quid per game in '98ish which then became a £10 season ticket during Millward's first spell. I'd watched Leigh occasionally prior to that, but it was those initiatives that turned me (and most of the people who I go to games with) in to regular fans.

The slogan 'A Quid For A Kid' came up in early discussions in the group. Personally I think that could be misconstrued, in this day and age.
