When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

Just a quick look at our attendance averages from the last few years compare to our season so far it looks to be on the up

2007 = 1867
2008 = 2472
2009 = 1984
2010 = 2144
2011 = 2502

Although we have (no disrespect) games coming up with the bottom end of the table with very little away support and this will drop our average figures right down.

With the removal of widnes from our league next year the average figures of all clubs in this league will drop which leaves a great deal of work to get the figures up to 'tick a box'.

Is part of the problem actually caused by having a winning team and as such presumably paying a fortune in win bonuses?

Well Widnes do/did have good away support.

Let us say they brought 1000 for our last league game with them and their replacement team bring no-one. We have ten league games a season so to compensate for losing Widnes we would have to get an extra 100 fans at every home game. With this team ? What do you think ?

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif

With this team absolutely Frank. What i will say is that looking at this years figures and taking into consideration the little away fans we get then these figures look promising. The downside is that big games against the likes of widnes attract more home fans aswell, when you lose this you not only lose the away support but drop the home support aswell.

I hope and pray that someone out there looks at what Leigh have to offer and will help to continue with the feel good factor that the club, fans and players had before this news.Word is getting about with our teams performance and this will bring in the crowds, this however does not happen overnight. I hope someone can see this pottential and give us a try.

WOULDNT BET ON IT, WE TOOK LESS THAN 200.

AND THERE WAS NO WHERE NEAR AS MANY FEV FANS AS NORMAL.

BACK TO THE CHAIRMAN THREAD THOUGH, I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HOW LONG HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH LEIGH, BUT I WOULD GUESS ALONG TIME.
FOR HIM TO ANNOUNCE THIS AFEW WEEKS BEFORE YOUR PRETTY MUCH NAILED ON GETTING TO A MAJOR FINAL, IT ALL SEEMS ABIT STRANGE.

I FOR ONE THINK YOU WILL BE FINE, WITH INVESTERS AND SO ON.

As indeed we were 'NAILED ON' at the same stage last year, when Batley completely stuffed us in the NRC semi final, at our place!

The wrong crowd figure has been issued - 1377 was given out as the crowd on Sunday! But news from the club is that the wrong figure was given. I said around 1650-1700 was about right. I accept that there were nowhere near as many rovers fans as normal!

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



Quote: DemonUK "Sounds like its going to get worse before it gets better The sound of silence that is Come on BOD, statement please. Of course thats if we still have a BOD'"


Was hoping something would have been released today, having said that I'm sure Dave Parky said he'd be getting a interview with the relevent people at the club, with him being at work I presume that will happen tonight ?

Hope so...silence doesn't help the uncertainty for fans (or more importantly) players.
