Since the beginning of the season Leigh have played 9 games not counting our 3 friendlies at the LSV.

Our average for those 9 games is 2134. I don't remember what the 3 friendly gates where.

2502 according to the Championship stats page in the top right hand of this page

Hence my post. I do not think those figures are accurate.

but are you counting the nrc i wouldn't think the championship would

Our league average is 2490 for 4 games.

To bring our average up to 2502 then the three friendlies would have had to average 3608. They didn't.

I know mate, it's getting redone tonight, I was only informed last night.

They are accurate for League games Frank.

Featherstone 1940
Smogs 3198
Barrow 2583
Batley 2285

Total 10006

Average 2501.5

You obviously weren't good at maths were you frank , what was your job again ?

In fact, looking at our figures 1940 was an appauling crowd for the Fev game, if we played them now we'd be hoping for 2800 or more wouldn't we?

It was a thursday TV game , which is why the current recompense for TV games is a joke

Have to admit I should have used my calculator.

well there is no recompense really is there as all the RFL money has to go on jollies

It was aldo before people started realising how good the team is too I suppose. Along with no away fans and it was cold.

Still pretty average though.

What would you do abouy the recompense for TV games Starbug?

You still actually get the 4 grand in cash though Fred , you only lose it if people who would come anyway get their hands on the free tickets , and considering we got a 1940 attendance figure , I'm fairly sure we didn't let more than a hundred or so in on those tickets

Its not up to me , it's up to SKY,the RFL,the Co oP and the club owners to decide on that

We all asked for a TV deal , what we really meant was a paying TV deal , the current one ends this year , the clubs need to decide if they want the coverage to continue , and what deal they are willing to accept for it to continue

Personally I'd want £10,000 per match cash and a £ 5,000 spend per match on marketing , but not including free tickets , the clubs should do that anyway if they were getting the 10 K

The other option for me would be , every club in both divisions [ which will probably change next year ] gets 1 home game guaranteed and they recieve their average attendance income for that game in cash , all tickets to that game are then free and a sizeable marketing spend in the towns of both participating clubs in the run up to the game

Average for three friendlies = 2278
Average for three NRC games = 1960
Average for four Championships = 2502
Average for two Challenge cup = 1660

Average for 12 home games = 2170

Blimey, only May and we've had to do 12 programmes already!
