| Quote: MJC "Should hopefully be more than 4000 as anything less will be really poor. Hopefully, with no clash with football, we could get over 5000. However, I'm not convinced the club, other than on social media, really promote the games enough. Let's hope word of mouth get people down to the lsv!'"
Absolutely agree MJC.
We all saw what could be achieved against Bradford in the 1st round, centred around the FFMM signing & whipping up a ferver in the town, large posters up, loads of social media *not just the occasional tweet*. The media team then kicked on with a feature on Granada Reports that *promised* to follow the Clubs fortunes all season but ultimately fizzled out.
Two examples of good promotion, Salford have a regular advertising slot on Real XS Radio (formerly Rock Radio) & have given match tickets away in the stations 1000 Tickets of Summer give away campaign. Leigh could have done this too. They *Salford* have also had a 'free match', obviously because they have concerns over lack of support, this probably wouldn't benefit Leigh.
St Helens offered a 3 Year Season Ticket when they first moved to Langtree Park & my BIL took up this offer at a large discount. If our board offered a similar deal, then they could potentially increase attendance figures or at least Season Ticket Membership numbers.
I don't think the club do enough anymore, whereas early in the season I thought they did a great job.
Thoughts anyone ?

| Oh & my estimate for todays attendance, 3317.
I will be in the North Stand, but Her Indoors & Junior *who is only 4* are staying home, so that's 2 down from our house.

| I thought it was a great crowd today , Sheff didn't bring many, but some Leigh fans really get to me there was a about 8 guys around the age of 60 sat behind us who didn't know the rules,when child's put the Leigh team on a warning ,one asked his mate why the Ref was waving at us?I don't think they had been to a match for years, 60% 9f their talk was swearing ,a lot of the Lady Species were complaining,we don't need these type of Fans.
As for the game?Mickey Higham had a blinder, I thought Ryan had a good game, Fui was more involved and Ben Reynolds was good when he came on, the results went our way , we need another win next Sunday not to keep us in with a chance.Bradford go to HKR,and maybe Widnes can win at Wakey?It ain't over yet.

| Was very impressed by the crowd but I don't suppose there was much else on (sports wise, holiday season over) so we were fortuitous and its good to see people turn out given the past 3 results.
There are some tools that have jumped on, but I'd rather the club take their money and endure 80 minutes of their unknowing comments than them not turn up.
Did wonder if Higham would play the full 80 and boy did he put in a performance.
Fui was on fire, as was Acton and Emmit was his imperious self.
Reynolds did well for short bursts, still think his tackling needs working on. Ridyard seemed to play with a bit more fire this time.
Ryan was fine, but as an observation he used to be the last one off the pitch and now he's the first one off it.
Still not entirely satisfied as there was some stupid penalties and daft ideas played out but happy with the results, thought it would be closer so can't complain that much.

I think before the game everyone would have taken that result and score so it's happy days tonight onwards and upwards.Charlie knows.

| Higham doing 80 allows us to better use Fui, imagine the options with Hock, Hoppy and Barlow back soon
Acton has forced his way into the 17 imo
Got the gate wrong but was expecting 2000 from Sheffield

| A great crowd indeed.
I was being generous with my 3,750 guess, but we managed to pass 4,000... - with 21 Sheagles fans too!

| I have to say that when I went to morrisons at 1 there were a lot of people around the ground and I thought then that it could be a decen crowd. Great turn out by the Leythers.
