I probably wont buying a season ticket, but for financial reasons atm, be Ill be attending all our games, deffo, unless away of course Im away.
I dont mind the odd Friday match, or Saturday(6pm Sat much better time imho), should have tried a couple with the cup games, but I prefer Sundays.
Its done now we have to get on with it, although I cant see it working, crowds were on the up anyway.
I will support my team however, I just wish they didn't make things so hard for themselves, after so much hard work thats been done to get everyone together, fans, sponsers, everyone, its seems a shame to spoil it all for an experiment that could backfire big style, when we really can't afford it to. We needed this season more then ever to be a good one on and off the field.
Hope we all get over this disappointment and move on and support the club, even if we don't agree with the decision.
Hopefully it will be explained more next week at the meet the players night.

TB mentioned Friday games in his interview with Dave Parky ,think he said there would be a mixture ,not too much of a mixture is there ,having said that I shall wait and see what the change in day does re attendance ,personally I like Sundays but I may find I like Fridays too

Correction not required as for the last two years season tickets have been factored into the equation whereas before they had not (and even for the last two years with season tickets in it's only been a small amount and having a winning team just may have assisted that) but no mind if you wish to delude yourself that is your concern, Rugby League as a spectator sport on a Sunday is dead another day has to be found.

Glad you have seen the light peanut.
A poll? what for the few sad people who sit behind a keyboard playing god? yeah really helpfull that will be with the 4 or 5 identities some have , and just what are you on about with the lie line? yes Freer did say Sunday but it was Freer not the 'club' which cant talk as its not a person -does one have to spell everything out I see at the end of your rant you actually give a reason well bully for you but what about the people who work Sundays should they not have a chance to see them also, just like 90% of other posts on here it all boils down to selfishness, and people trying to be bully's. Evolve or die.

Charlie will be attending all the games he can , as Charlie is a Supporter of thisclub , whoever runs it ,Charlie believes in the club.

At this morning’s meeting of the PSG, Trevor Barton was asked about the decision to play four home matches (York on 30/3; Featherstone on 22/6; Dewsbury on 13/7; and Halifax on 17/icon_cool.gif on Friday evenings. Here are the facts surrounding that decision, by the Club.

At the time of the Fans’ Forum, the statement about playing home fixtures on a Sunday, was made in good faith, based on the known circumstances, at that time. There was no intention of misleading supporters, let alone ‘lying’ to them, as has been suggested.

- As you know, we will be ground-sharing with Swinton Lions, next season.

- There is a six week ‘time window’ when the pitch is being re-laid, as part of a stadium contractual agreement and, it will not be available to either Leigh or Swinton.

- As a result of the pitch being unavailable, the RFL was unable to devise a fixture solution, whereby Leigh and Swinton home games did not clash. Leigh were offered, at short notice, the opportunity to select their preferred day to play. Friday was chosen, for the following reasons:-

* Corporate sponsors tended to prefer Friday – leaving the weekend free for family activities.

* This is borne out by better sponsorship/box/meal sales for night matches. Contrary to popular belief, the Club DOES benefit significantly, from such ‘corporate’ match day sales.

* The players welcome the occasional weekend ‘off’, to be with their families.

* The team could potentially gain some advantage, in terms of recovery, from playing on Fridays – where the following week’s opposition has played on the Sunday.

* Leigh will get first use of the pitch, on weekends where fixtures clash.

There is a recognition, at the Club, that some supporters are unfortunately going to be inconvenienced by the match day changes, but it is hoped that this will just be for a ‘one-off’ season.

Still doesn't really explain the 'Sunday statement' from the Fans Forum as the question asked at the time is no different to the one the RFL have asked, only two different answers have been given. As it is, if the club generate more money from playing on a Friday and attendances aren't affected too much then I think a case would have to be made for the 2013 season to play ALL games on a Friday night and have a clear policy to do so from the outset rather than fans being misled, whether that was intentional or not.

Fair enough, thanks for letting us know Alan

Couple of things Alan, why not move all games to a Friday then??

Unless the catering company have lowered their match day meal charge then we make around £2 per meal! Granted their will be other spin offs such as ensuring match day, match ball sponsorships get covered!!

For me it should be all or nothing to Fridays, a mixture should lead to the worst season ticket sales of all time!

You're welcome.

Matt,

At the time of the Forum, Keith was unaware of any clashes. That was only brought to light recently, by the RFL.

The Club is using this unavoidable situation to test the waters for evening matches. It could be seen as an even higher risk to play all home games on a Friday.

In an ever demanding world people plan ahead, is it Fridays or Sunday's we watch the mighty Leigh as a family, oh wait a minute

Is the grass being cut
Are Swinton at home or is it away
Are the moon and sun aligned

It's a joke Alan and how you can defend this farce is beyond me!

But if it is such a risk then why not say our preferred day is Sunday, in line with the answer given at the Fans Forum?

were only plating 5 games on friday, book half days off.......

We only have 11 home fixtures though, so thats half of the games.
