No, don't like it. Why should a Season Ticket holder's mate (who fancies the Wigan game) get preference over a regular fan, who didn't buy a ST because of the fixture pattern, but can attend this one?

Because the benefit is with the ST holder and another reason to buy one, how do you distinguish at the ticket office between a regular and non regular fan? Do we ask them to bring stubs with them, do we take them off them if so what about the next game? What happens if that ST holders mate then wants a season ticket himself as a result of going with his mate or goes more regular than the other regular due to not working shifts? If a few regulars want to join the thousands who committed to ST's prior to the fixtures coming out then brilliant! It will cost me more for a ST than simply paying for the games I can get to, but the magic discounts, knowing I can get into my regular spot and not having to make an effort to get to the ticket office every game made it a no brainer over about £60 in match ticket savings

The club will only be making The North Stand ST only if sales dictate there is no remaining capacity.[i ie in other words sold out.[/i

The North Stand hold 4,000 people + , [iIf[/i we only sell 2,000 North Stand ST's prior to SL kicking off v Leeds then 2,000 match day North Stand tickets will be available as normal on a first come first served. Just like they always have been.

However the club's ultimate goal is to have 12,700 ST holders and whilst there is empty seats then this should remain so.

The message therefore here is perfectly clear, if you want to guarantee access into the stand of your choice to watch Leigh Centurions in SL then the only way gaurantee this next season is to purchase a ST.

I have renewed mine yet again, I would not want to miss out this year of all years.

4000+ ? are you sure about that?

It's not far off Demon?

That was packed to the rafters for the Castleford v Widnes Challenge Cup Semi Final, and I am sure Castleford received an allocation of 4,000 standing tickets for that match. However, You couldn't swing a cat to be fair.

What would you say it holds then?

3500 max at present with East stand open, 3000ish with East stand closed. It was sold out v Huddersfield but as with all open plan standing areas the fans move central and leave space out wide. The same happened to with us at Wire, centre was overcrowded with gaps at each side

No you can't, so you don't. Anyone who isn't a ST holder should get in the queue when tickets are available with no advantages.

From the horses mouth

2880 but can go up to 3768 but the higher figure require special permission from licensing (assuming Wigan Licensing)

What is 232 people out among friends

Thanking you for the correct figures Demon.

The benefits are to the Season Ticket holder, they get to take a family member or friend they wish to attend with, imo a reward for their investment. If the 2880 figure is correct then it will be very close to all ST occupation anyway

Biggest ever crowd at the LSV was 12005 so North stand must have more than a 2880 capacity.

Read my post Frank. Special Permission must be obtained to add around 900 to that figure. The figures came from someone who works in the ticket office

I’m presuming the 2880 is the permanent license in place for the stand based on minimum stewarding. Anything above that capacity would require further stewarding and probably have to been shown to be in place before being approved.
