No - but if you didn't have a season ticket or Touchdown membership you might not be tempted by Leigh v York with Wire v Saints on tv - thus once again raising the issue of getting the "floating" fans through the gate

Surely we wont know that until the club have tried fridays a few times?

Those who are current supporters will do everything they can to watch whenever finances, shift patterns, other commitments allow, I just cant see your average Joe (Mo’s already bringing every Bob

) parting with about £15 to watch Leigh v York (no disrespect to them as it could probably be anyone), when he can watch Wire v Saints in the <Insert any pub you want> and have a few pints and possibly spend less.

For the record I hope I’m wrong and LSV is packed to the rafters, as you say only time will tell.

To which numbers do you refer?

I think the ? was a clue in my post GLOW.

Soz glow i still don't get it,if your average joe is a leigh fan and can now get to a game on friday evening but wouldn't/couldn't go on sunday it shouldn't matter whats on tv

We need to work hard at it and even if Friday is deemed a success keep working hard at it to build on it.
Using your good self as a example (in that you don't like football), what we are in a way asking is how could I get you to come to Gigg Lane on a Friday evening to watch Bury play Wycombe Wanderers when Manchester United v Manchester City are live on TV in the pub.
Maybe as a first time fan of football , what would tempt you away from your home or a bar watching high class football entertainment to watch a match that will likely be less skilful - and thats the very hard sell Leigh have.
I won't open the Friday debate up but will say IMO its a non young family KO time, so in effect we have to target certain groups and maybe instead of familes and suchlike (as per sunday Ko's) concentrate on 2 mates for £25.00 , Pint and a ticket , two 11 to 16 year olds in for a Fiver etc- a different audience altogether from 3PM Sunday, go horses for courses.

The danger of us not having a steady kick off day was highlighted for me when my lad who was just getting used to being a new Leigh fan and just getting into it asked why we have stopped going to the rugby, I explained what was happening (TV games and now fixture day changes etc) and he's asked can we go and watch another team if we can't watch Leigh, Leighs loss could possibly be another clubs long term gain ?.
Just shows how hard it is to get it right and the task ahead of the club.

Still say 6.15pm Saturday is the main one that will please more than it upsets

See Jenky's reply. Your average joe isn't a Leigh Centurions fan, he doesn't currently support anyone, but likes watching RL games on TV. How do we get him away from the TV and down to LSV?

You win SL

That's that sorted





How do we increase capacity at LSV?

Why would we need to do that?

If we won SL we would still only get 5-6,000 home support
