Better than quantity any day.  |

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

By the time Leighs expenses are taken out they may get back their travelling expenses plus £3.50

Do you mean like the support we took to Haven in 2007 (??) playoff on a Thursday night game?
Not having a go at our fans (as I didn't go too  ) but its difficult to get to 7:30pm KO's on weekday from distances like that when most work.

In fairness, the away support wouldn't have been much better on a Sunday.
But - true - Thursday nights don't help.

We comfortably had a following in three figures at 'Haven so an unfair comparison, especially as that's a round trip of hundreds of miles rather than 90 minutes each way. That said, I can't think for a minute that anyone excepted any different.

Maybe the clubs will unite and tell the RFL to shove their Thursday night games. Its another cancer in our game!

I think 8pm KO would make a difference. Football used to have KO's at 7:30pm but changed. Recognising how difficult it is to get to games in the commuting world we live in nowadays. Why Sky need 7:30pm KO isn't being fair. I suspect this won't be a priority tho when negotiating again.
Shame because TV coverage when used properly can benefit this competition. |

| I've posted before, on the injustice of shared gates, in this league, but was shot down. It's fascinating that 1475 ticket sales by Leigh is seen to equate to about 37 to Sheffield.
And yes, it does work the other way, when our 2 supporters counted for half the proceeds of the cup tie at Limoux!  |

Well there are two ways of looking at it.
Lets assume we win our first 3 Challenge Cup ties next season and then draw the Pies at Wigan Athletics ground.
Are you against split gates then ?
In another sport Man U manage an away draw in the FA cup against Burton Albion then go to Man U for the replay. Should those gates be split ?
I suppose in knockout competitions it is about revenue raising for some clubs.

If we get the Pies away i'm pretty sure there would be a big Leigh fan base ready to go and cheer the lads on ,but i get what you mean you take the good with the bad |

Of course, it works, when you involve a SL club. But in this league, where the away support generally arrives in a taxi?

The money we put behind the bar at 5 euros a pint made up for any shortfall
