Because Trevor announced them in his speech at the presentations - hope that is sufficient for you.

Indeed it is - thanks. How many were there from other clubs then?

| Quote The Prophet="The Prophet"Going to start this with simply pointing out that this is nothing to do with negativity, just a representation of facts that this initiative is a shocker.
Last night 50 Batley fans used their season tickets and thus got in for £10 which represents a minimum loss of revenue to us of £300, more for the ones who sat down. Does anybody think these 50 wouldn't have come anyway??
Did 30 other clubs fans pay £10 each to make up this shortfall?? No and furthermore they never will.
People wanted facts and here they are - let's not try and gain solace from the fact this is the first game etc etc, we are flogging a dead horse, costing ourselves precious revenue and minimising any possible chance of our floating fans turning up to pay full price or even £2 off for turning up early.'"
By now you should realise that negativity is anything that doesnt fully agree with what the club do, be it right or wrong. Best thing to do is shut up, keep buying your ticket and let them either make it happen or luvv it up - whilst admiring the emperors silks with the rest of em.
We have what we have for this season, we have missed numerous opportunities created by the wave of passion last year but the club knows best and I look forward to eating my hat at some point.

Yes, we probably have missed opportunities and that's galling. If only we had the people to evaluate all the ideas, pick the good ones and make them all work. It's frustrating being involved and seeing opportunities go by. It must be even more frustrating being able to stand back, on the sidelines, so to speak, and see it happening.

Agree that some seem to rejoice more in failure than success, however i'm not that way inclined and only want the club to thrive. Equally I welcome new ideas being put out there provided they are directed at the right target market without in any way conflicting with the existing customer base and can be seen to generate additional revenues into the club.
Unless we call time on this brain dead initiative we are going to cost ourselves thousands on the year - the forums have made it clear that a neutral position is a crowd of 1,800 which must factor in people paying at pre initiative prices. This must increase that number and furthermore alienates your walk up Leigh fan in having to pay significantly more than away supporters.
I really don't care whose idea this was, if the decision makers still believe this can work however, then god help us. It won't stop me attending but fear there is a significant number who it will.

It must be terribly frustrating for folk who offered but were ignored, I know at least two fans with skill sets I believe are beyond those currently being used who fall into that category. I know one of them detailed an affordable concept to drive brand and income, whilst developing a real community feel again.
It's fantastic that the club have such a wealth of talent to hand that such proven people are surplus to requirements.

No they didnt mate that simply is not true my obsession with this is my club is dying in front of me!!
wake up seriously!! last night our crowd was down by nearly 300 on the exact same game as last season!
we need 1800 average to break even our average so far is 1632
on last nights game compared to last year we are down by £4550 approx (yes i have done the maths)
of this £4550 we lost £200 due to the let ST holders from other clubs in for £10 idea
Over pricing for the product we offer will kill our club the sooner we realise that the more chance we have of staying in alive!
