It all depends on who you think you can attract , the ' Lads ' wont come no matter when we play IMO

Fridays have every chance of attracting new floating fans, how many of them is another debate. My only grumble is that you can't get a season ticket when games are spread over so many days

I think that once you get a group of lads going, the others will follow, they wont wont to be sat in the pub on their own when their mates are out at the match. It just takes that bit pf persuasion to get the first few to come.
I've spoke to a few of my mates today about the day change, told them Super League "Lads Night" at JackoLeythers house is cancelled and they will 100% give it a try next year.

Lets hope they dont expect SL type crowds and atmosphere at the LSV , or Supermarket beer prices either ?

'Preferred' day is still Sunday. The Club is using this situation to experiment with 3/4 games, based on the wishes of the corporate sponsors, coaching team and players.

People asked for the facts behind the decision. I said I would ask for the facts. I did ask for the facts. I have reported the facts. Where do I 'defend' the decision? If you can bother trawling back through the thread, I have said that I prefer Sundays.

But hey, please read into it what you wish!

They have no reason to expect either.

Friday nights in Leigh have been dead for a very long time, a link up with a bar in the town centre, ie Bar Bliss or Cafe Stella, even if they just had a guy giving out leaflets for a free shot at their bar after the match, a few adverts on Facebook and Twitter. They have to just try something, I really do think crowds will be bigger this year.

Just looked at a shift rota i have got from work, i will only be able to make 3 possibly 4 home games next season, gutted.

The decision was taken after consultation with our corporate sponsors, the players and the coaching staff.

I'm sure the atmosphere is better in the north stand than it is sat at home or in the pub watching a sl game.

I just dont think you can turn ' Armchair sports fans ' into ' Live sports fans ' , plus the numbers you are suggesting are how many ? , as you say the town centre has been in decline for years now , those that do go out travel further afield now , I somehow cant see them hanging around to watch a match at the LSV beforehand

As the facts were explained to me, the decision was not merely 'corporate'. The club doesn't want to lose any fans, but we have a faily unusual situation for, hopefully, one season.

If a fan can't make it, that is very unfortunate - if a fan won't make it, that's their choice.

Maybe for me and you jc , but the armchair fan ? , as Iv'e suggested earlier , to me they are a lost cause

You are making watching Leigh play rugby sound like a chore. Those that dont go out, don't travel further afield they just go out on a Saturday instead, and if we cant turn armchair fans into live sports fans then whats the point in you marketing anything? Surely our numbers cant increase?
