That'll pack em in!

I thought Man Ure where understood to have signed a 5 year deal?

Only time they will get more than 100 is against United, Liverpool and possibly Bolton.


They've chosen to stay at Altrincham.

IIRC Rovers occasionally get 500 up for reserve games. Thats what the ex wife tells me when she's taking the pi** out of our attendences anyway

doesn't matter if its 100 or 10.000 itsv all extra revenue

But would it be cost effective to open the ground for such a small attendance? I'll stick my neck on the line here and suggest Leigh RL reserves get higher attendances than t'Roverrrrs reserrrrves

Does matter from an LSV point of view, as long as Blackburn are paying to open it?

I suppose Rovers would be paying a fixed fee for say 14 games + and percentage of the gate receipts so the LSV won't lose out.

Obviously or they wouldn't be there.

But do the LSV realise just how poorly supported reserve team football is?

We have had Everton for years an simply open sourth stand (one with tunnel). Therfore only cost of staff for that, and then for games that get billed big, Reserve semi's against Liverpool for example open up the rest then!

I didn't think Leigh footy 1st team got 500 never mind reserves!

You can bet on that!

Does it matter they (the LSV) will be getting what they want out of the deal they wont lose out or they wouldnt do it, its nothing to do with the Centurions anyway I for one arent bothered if Barcelona played thier I wouldnt go anyway, so Blackburn or anyone is welcome as long as they are paying out good 'brass'.
The pitches are ALL being dug up and relaid next week anyway so the 40 game rule (it was 40 wasn't it?) starts all over again from then.

A couple of Leigh lads on the books of Rovers Gordon Marrows lad plays for em as does young Radley i think his name is?

My main concern is that it doesn't turn out to be the goldmine that the LSV may be hoping for, and that means they turn to the usual suspects (ie Leigh RL) to make up the loss in expected income.
