Yes. And got p155 wet through on the third row of the West stand just before half time. It was that bad I had to take refuge under the stand and buy a pint for £3.10!! I think that depressed me more than the lack of support from fellow Leythers!

aye, more than salford v hull kr on friday.
After all we play in a 'non promotion' league. Every game is just a 'glorified friendly' with no REAL point to it. We could be potentially 'ticking a bl00dy box' which WILL BE all in vain. GOOD CROWD TODAY.

Do you have the receipt?

With today's date on it?


Hand it in to the Crowd Police within 7 days please.

Why would you go to the Reebok instead of the LSV today? You were watching two teams playing for nothing, their season was over. Bolton have been poor since March and City play a defensive system that doesn't play attractive football but grinds out wins. Why would that attract you rather than the type of free flowing open rugby that Leigh are playing at the moment. By the way, that is not a criticism of your decision, it is just a question to help me understand what Leigh needs to do to attract a crowd.

Haha, that sounds a little more complimentary mate!

The atmosphere seems fine when attacking the North. Just need to think of a solution when going towards the South (though that wasn't a problem against Catalans!)

You need to go to Widnes if you want gravy. Vikingman will help you out with that one, he's full of gravy!

Nah, full of chemicals their grub.

I thought it was a pleasingly good crowd today. 2071 against Hunslet. They brought 71 so that makes 2000 from Leigh. Up quite a bit from the beginning of the season I think. It's a pity the Halifax game is Thursday evening and on TV. I think we would have got 3000+ for this otherwise.

Seems strange but through various reasons 2 of our 5 season tickets made the game yesterday.

Makes you realise how low the Cats crowd was declared at the other week.

Not a bad crowd all things considered imho but we need to get that to 2500 home fans at worst.

I know this might sound a little strange , but our difficult start to the season has left a strange feeing from now on , we have ( with the utmost respect ) only one potential crowd drawing match left at home , and that is going to be on TV , yes we regulars who frequent this board will still attend , but I cannot see any of the remaining matches drawing more than the average we currently have

So , when the potential new owners take over they really need to look to try something different to boost at least one match

I would suggest they pick out one match and set a target of 5,000 attending fans as an experiment and go all out to achieve that target

My suggestion would be the York home game , they have in the past brought a large and vocal support to matches against us , we should encourage that with possibly free transport for ALL their total fan base

Couple that with opening up at least half the East stand with free family tickets given out to whatever that capacity is , these tickets to be specific possibly by inviting a couple of local schools , lock stock and barrel , the whole school , every pupil , their parents , the teachers and their spouses

Try to create an environment and atmosphere conducive to getting people to want to return

The only potential pit fall in this plan is knowing Leigh , it would coincide in our worst performance of the year

And it would p1ss it down and EMC would sell out of pop and crisps by kick off.

Yes it probably would , and yes they probably would , but it must be tried , if we ever want to progress beyond where we currently are , playing well but in real terms losing money every time we open the doors

Which happens in nearly all sports clubs in the UK/World, hence the need to fund the shortfall whilst attempting to grow income unless we do win the Euro Millions super roll over.
