Thats the key question, what are we going to do to get 3000+ Leythers at Blackpool to visit LSV next time we play?
I know moneys tight but discounted tickets for anyone who attended the final?
Like many our bus has 20+ people who never attend normally and for them the game is only a small part of the occasion, would now be a good time to launch the fans zone/beer tent, BBQ, local band playing, etc?

| Crafty edit glow!!! Anyroad, I would have no problem at all if the next home game was a tenner (or cheaper?) for anyone producing a NRC ticket, with the team parading the trophy after the game (if we win on Sunday, obviously). I'm sure there might be some regulars who will see it as a few quid off what they would be paying anyway, but I think that's a small price for getting x number of "glory hunters" on the way to becoming regular fans.

Might be worth sending that idea to Mr Barton on monday if we win Matt.

Glory hunters? I'd hardly call winning the Northern Rail Cup the epitome of glory.
I have noticed that a few people seem to resent those that are going to Blackpool because they don't visit the LSV on a regular basis. Surely people are entitled to view whatever entertainment they like, when they like? Most of the so called "glory hunters" probably see it as a social event as opposed to a rugby game and that is their choice. They will pay for the ticket, transport and peripheral entertainment such as food and drink.
Perhaps if Leigh were in finals on a regular basis the day to day fan base would increase substantialy and sustain the running of the club?
Until then people will and can choose to seek out entertainment as they see fit. The sporting and entertainment industry has changed beyond all recognition since the days when the only thing you could do on a sunday afternoon was watch rugby.

My post wasn't intended as a criticism, hence why I put "glory hunters" in inverted commas.

No Leyther resents any Leyther coming on Sunday all us regulars want is to get bigger crowds and therefore a more successfull and sustainable club. We are daft that way.
Re the NRC Final well no it is not the Challenge Cup Final but we are where we are and if we could double our crowds who knows what the future holds for our club.
I am just happy we will have a colourful loud and voiciferous following this weekend and just wish it was the same every match we play.
Don.t you ?

| Difficult decision to offer a discount to fans who attend the NRC , the club make little enough out of the 14 quid after VAT and the LSV s share , and obviously we have over a thousand who buy tickets for each game that would take advantage of this , so the question is would we draw an extra number to make it a no losing initiative ?
Also you need to consider that some who are ' glory hunting ' for want of a better term , will quite possibly consider coming to the next game anyway
It's a hard one to call
