Don't forget it's the LSV, so it's a quid for every Crunchie sold on the day. Maybe all this will be ironed out over the course of the season as a split between Friday's and Sunday's isn't going to work - there needs to be a choice between one and the other and then a proper marketing strategy can be developed from that. |

Surely its too late now though to change the other games to Fridays? |

Far from it, it'd just need the opposition and RFL to agree to it. At the minute we're left with three separate matchdays which isn't going to do anything for building up a habit of coming to the games. |

Jimmy season ticket prices went up 55% in west stand. Even I can't blame the Tories for that |

| Quote: Alan "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
This doesn't add up as Swinton are playing all their home games Sunday so surely we should changed two and they should have changed two.

All that does is highlight how cheap it was last year to watch the best team we've had in recent years.
Prices HAD to go up. Its business. What does that price increase average out at? About a pound a week? |

I have to agree with this post apart from the last sentance. I have a weak heart but never say anything. |

Spot on with that Jimmy, last year's prices were a steal and were never likely to continue unless they were backed in HUGE numbers. |

Erm, no it isn't - £13.64 per game for a Leigh season ticket (£150/11 home games) versus £13.16 per game for a Latics season ticket (£250/19 home games). I know Latics have cheap season tickets by comparison, but that is a little concerning to me. |

I still think the LSV/Wigan Council, themselves have had something to do with this.
However we have to play these games Fridays now and well see what it brings, Ill be there.
Cant see many from Yorkshire though, making it over on Friday night and Halifax would have been one of our chances of a good crowd and decent away following had we played Sunday.

Latics  I meant a proper team, United charges a lot more. |

I would expect the Fev and Halifax home games to switch to the Thursday anyway.

Because United have a £600m debt to cover, not even close to a valid comparison.
