Quote: WYSIWYG2 "Fortunately for you Deekos or maybe unfortunately for the club, the fairweather fans who you never see when they are in the Championship will soon fade away and Leigh will be left with a core support of about 4500 in SL or 3500 when in Championship. The pricing structure will deter any new fans. DB will eventually get fed up of the crowds staying stagnant and in the future I think, as a businessman, he will try to relocate them to a large city as a franchise to fit in with IMGs plans and where he will have more chance of large crowds and more profit. In the future, you may even see Leigh Leopards rebranded as London Leopards. As a businessman, I would definitely go for it. He will be assured of a SL place.'"
Graham , in my opinion you won’t see a re location of a Leigh team , it wouldn’t be Leigh , hence no Leigh fans would watch , I applaud Derek for the atmosphere he helped create on Friday , it was electric , and yes expensive , I bought a programme , because of the Historic effect, the Leopards 1st game , I won’t buy another one though , as I said I’m not sure the price of pies and hotdogs , we had something to eat at the on site Hotel , it was good and reasonably priced , I’m teetotal but would t pay 5 pound a bottle for lager anyway, and the cashless system is putting fans off , I heard a few complain about this .
Derek is a businessman , and very successful , but again I think he has made a mistake by allowing only Platinum and Black package members into Legends Bar .
I don’t think people will drop off attending if we keep losing , the match day experience was very good , and I saw a lot of young families at the game , engaging with the young ladies dressed as Leopards and Leeto , folk said the Leopard concept wouldn’t be accepted but it has been , I can’t wait for the next 2 home games Saints and Wigan , both should be crowd pullers , as has been said it’s our choice to buy or not the programmes and lager , I think the white and gold packages are value for money , but I do understand your reasons for not attending .
