| Quote Ganson's Optician="Ganson's Optician"Quick point of order, the RLWC made around AUS$5 million profit, so it would be wrong and a tad disrespectful to organisers to describe the competition as a loss leader. The only free tickets, as far as I am aware went to volunteers and children involved in the entertainment.'"
I understand what your saying but I didn't read it as Andy showing disrespect to the organisers of the RLWC I felt he was rightly making the point that games like the one at the LSV are not a a fair comparison as professional RL clubs outside of SL with little/ next to no RFL funding can't afford to give tickets away or for next to nothing.
I've no idea what it costs our club to play at LSV but doubt it would be worth opening the doors for nothing or even £5.
We have to remember the club is a Ltd company with overheads, wage bills and tax bills to pay so it can't be an option to open the doors for nowt or even £5 not to mention the fact if you have a product you believe in you can't sell it for less than its worth.
PS I know 30+ people who went to the Tonga game and don't know anyone who actually paid for a ticket. I also attended England/ France FOC and went to hospitality at the Final FOC also.

| Quote maurice="maurice"RLWC was a great success and made over £3m
On topic, the clubs first close season has allowed us to focus on season ticket sales which we believe had been all but ignored in recent years. Our strategy was designed to be all embracing giving people the choice by affordability, eg spread the cost, significant reductions on 2013 prices and a Free under 16 season ticket with every adult or concession sold.
To develop the strategy of asking our fans to invest in their club via a season ticket we will continue to add value and provide exclusive events throughout the year, we intend to make a Leigh Centurions Season Ticket a must have in future seasons, we will learn from this year and be even better at promoting them next year
I am a salesman and I fully understand you cannot please all people all the time, so must focus on motivating people to buy what you have when they are able to, be it a season ticket, shirt or a matchday ticket. As a salesman I also know that once you devalue your product it is very difficult to recover its real value, the Stobart SL deal is case in point, we will build our customer base by offering great value through a first class on field product and creating a brilliant matchday experience.
Enjoy the ride it will be great fun, and we wont fail through lack of effort.'"
Your doing a great job pal and our supporters should be eternally grateful that people like yourself, Beaumont and Mazey have stood up to the plate.
I think the ST deals and Friendless are value for money and can't wait for the 19th Jan now to see Spencer, Acton and Barlow knock the e out of the crust munchers

I agree with you on most things you say , all the current BOD deserve applause ,without them I don't think we would looking at this Leigh Squad for 2014 and thinking (This is a very Strong Squad ),each and everyone of the Board have played their part ,now its down to Paul ,his backroom Staff and the Players to do theirs , and ours as Supporters to turn up each week , and show our Support .
Im to sure about your comment about the Pies though  as it will take time for our Squad to Gel , and if Wigan are sending a strong Squad , hopefully it will be a close , very entertaining Game .

| I think folk will turn up in numbers for the Wigan game as Wigan will have to send a strong squad in view of their imminent World Cup Challenge game.
I also think most Leigh folk want to see if our squad is as good as we think they are going to be.

| IMHO I think the prices for the friendlies V Salford & Wigan,are far too high.You can go and watch Saints v Wigan on Jan 31st for £12 seated,and £10 standing.This seems to me a far more reasonable price.

Knowing how Saints approach testimonials, that'll end up being an Academy game.
