Leigh dont have a high nmber of ST holders, Leigh dont have a high number of fans
None of those highlighted benifits are futher discounted tickets to 1 st team games
Many people ( not current Leigh fans ) have just seen an essentially full LSV at the WC game, there are a couple of opportunities to replicate that atmosphere at these friendley games, the offers are very good, but I just cannot understand why you would deny 99% of your potential fan base the best financial deal to sample it again
Now if that makes me negative, or a chip on shoulder, or a glass half full person? , fair enough, no agenda's, no point scoring, just plain common sense
I hope to make 1 of them, not sure which one yet ,if they let me in, that is

We will have a higher number of season ticket holders for 2014 than in recent years and we want to reward these people for showing faith and a commitment to us surely you understand that.
Let's not be foolish enough to overlook two key facts here:
LSV was essentially full for WC game as it was a small part of a large event and part of a loss leader exercise in my opinion. Thousands of tickets were given away/ sold at next to nothing in order to fill the stadium and make out that international RL is alive and kicking. Yes it was great but fact is data collection will identify many of those who came were not even from the Wigan Borough and probably only came as it was free/cheap and was a one off chance to catch a once in a lifetime game in this town.
Leigh Centurions is a business and while we wish to significantly expand our supporter base and more to the point will do so! We can't afford cart blanch to fill the stadium (that's presuming we could anyway) with people who will only come because it's free and probably never come again once it's back at full price as well as pay all the associated costs that a full stadium brings it simply is not viable. These games represent a chance to show our squad we've invested in off and bring in valuble revenue which is needed to fund the club.
I'm surprised having sat in the Board Room and knowing how tight closed and pre season cash flow is we are even having this conversation.
At the end of the day for me It's about delivering a product worth paying for not giving away or devaluing our product and giving away much needed revenue.
We have to build gradually and will look at event days and games were we can run with some of the ideas you believe in but Leigh Centurions first and foremost is a business and needs to at least break even and if possible return a profit if it is to succeed. It has to wash its own face and short term needs to bring in cash to cover costs simple as that really like it or not, agree or not it's as clear as day and a matter of fact mate.
Our crowds will increase greatly this coming season and ST sales will be higher than last year, Rome wasn't built in a day be realistic and give the us a chance.
PS I'm always glad to see you and your always welcome pal.
Andy
