Presumably the £40 banqueting suite thing would only be open to West Stand ticket holders anyway? If so it'll probably rule North standers like our lot out, but at least the club are trying some new ideas out.

And if the club can find something people want to be part of and it brings a few quid in then good luck to them. Whether it happens to be my taste, or anybody else's is irrelevant - like Fred says, if you don't like what's on offer just exercise your right not to buy into it, but don't slag the club off for trying to offer something new.

Good news that Basil wants to bring back the feelgood factor and include the fans more as well. It's been too long since the club tried to make the fans feel part of what was going on, and IMHO attendances in recent years have suffered because of that as well as fortunes on the field. With a fan-friendly outlook and a few decent ideas thrown in we'll have something to try and build on to make game days more enjoyable irrespective of the result, and hopefully encourage a few more fans back.

have you tried asking rather than makes presumptions?

Don`t see why it should rule out the North Standers........Last years ST cost the same in the North Stand as anywhere else, so why should the club discriminate to us folk who prefer to stand.

No it includes every season ticket holder.

Definition - shortened form of acedemics, used when talking about classes

Better class of fan at Leigh than I thought

That would be why I ended that particular sentence with a question mark.

It will though exclude non "members".
Are we trying to build a fan base or not.
You can come for a day see the match, but we dont want you in the the prime. facility pre or post match.
Accessability has always been one of rls best attractions.
More the merrier surely.
They could push the half time draw have other draws and competitons recoup any costs that way.We get a share of extra bar takings.
We have plenty of empty boxes why not utilise them post match for another layer of corporate if you really want to charge.One or two could be kids facilities.Bit of thought,immagination really.
As AT said we simply need more people.

The only way of Entering the Banqueting suite on match days , is through the front of the Stadium anyhow.

Full credit for all your sterling work Fred, coz you a real trooper for the cause - but you don't HAVE to do it

Good call Dave, though I spot an early problem.

'VIP' members with North Stand Tickets having to leave the room (say) 15 mins before kick off to give enough time to get out of the West Stand, and then queue up again to get into the North Stand.

Hmm

I'm sure there is a simple solution before Armagedon-like complaints hit the board after playing London Skolars in the Rail Cup.

I'll put your name down then instead Col, cause if I dont do it who will?

Recieved this message from David Bradshaw this morning.

The theory.........

During the next few weeks we will be putting the detail together to achieve the matchday experience for all rooms in the WEST STAND........
The executive boxes will accomodate up to 10 people and will be able to watch any rugby based news film that we create prior the the days game.....plus also have a meal or buffet or whatever either prior to or during the match..

The last years banqueteers will this year be accomodated in the boardroom . A room which was hardly used..All matchday sponsors and meal requirers will use this room with the directors and visiting directors and guests....

in the room after the match trhe official speeches and sponsorship presentations will happen in the boardroom live.............but transmiited into the banqueting room...........

The VIP CENTURION BAR . To purchase a ticket for this room<for> will be available only to the people who purchase a rugby season ticket for 2010. However, the pre-match entertainment will be the Millward interview plus......and after the game the room will enjoy the match summary by ian and his selection for player mentions and awards for that particular days game..LIVE in that room.......

It will be beamed to the boardroom and executive boxes and the Legends bar but LIVE to the the VIP Centurions.
