gotta agree Steve if people bothered turning up at 15 minutes to KO instead of 5 there may not be any queues.

How in the name of god is queueing for a ticket any excuse for not going to the game? Rubbish. I queue for a ticket on the odd occasion that I havn't got chance to get my ticket in the week. All you have to do is get there early and then go back across to the Park Inn if you want a beer.

I am loyal and faithful

....but I have not finished bellyaching yet

Unfortunatly its right.
For a country that queues quite professionally (compared to our European cousins) we generally avoid it.
Thus I can now check in for a flight from home , purchase a ticket for a train from home etc, etc, all use a selling point of avoiding the queues and ease of passage(amongst others).

I think the club need to think a little differently how we sell tickets if people are using the excuse or complaining about it (as a club that wants more fans in), perhaps we should look at alternate venues pre matchday which will assist the Ticket office on matchdays and assist our more less "able" supporters to purchase a ticket.

To use a example (and this is from someone who isn't really fussed about waiting 5mins for a ticket at the office).
Many years ago (when RL was a sport ) I used to travel to away games on the club coaches , I purchased my ticket for the coach from a Local Newsagent in Atherton (where I lived) as it was easy and convenient , usually a couple of days before.
If I'd had to go to Leigh to do it I wouldn't have bothered as it was out of my way , paying on the day was something I didn't want to do (as that money may have already been spent on the saturday night out ) and anyhow I don't think it was allowed.
As it was Leigh (or the coach company) got my money because they made it easy for me the "customer" to buy a ticket.

Make it easier (and lets be honest "selling" Leigh as something worth watching isn't going to get any easier with recent developments) and we may gain a few.
Could we not get ASDA or some of the Bigger town centre newsaganets to sell some for us and maybe entice some people who have only viewed the LSV's through the weeds and trees from the bypass

The 'problems' of selling tickets elsewhere has been done to death on here over the last few years on many an occassion.

Thats correct Fred , We turn up at !-40 and park the car , then send my big brother for the tickets while I take his wonky donkey wife to the Easts and get the beer in , He's back in 5 minutes , a couple of pints and into the West Stand and never had a problem

Jobs a goood un just get there a bit earlier as there's plenty watering holes around the ground

We can have cash turnstyles and have indeed had them.
When demand outstrips supply you have a value on the ticket, 20% full stadia all ticket is a joke.
Advertise cash turnstyles and offer tickets purchased before gameday at a £2 reduction to incentivise pre purchase.
Next week should be free for the first 5500, to get our average to 2500

here's an idea for you !!! why dont we give every player u12 at miners/easts/goulbourne
a free ticket or a ticket for a quid, with every paying adult, all kids playing junior rugby ( & how many are there at these clubs upto about u12s ) want to go & watch pro rugby, that would get our average gate up. the club should incentive's in front of people to entice them to come & watch.

All free for last game, LISA collection in the ground where you can if you wish make a donation towards the new player fund, started so successfully with the walk

Thought you stood inside and outside the Queens opposite the Market Square with me - dont think the team passed the Eagle & Child.

bus


We met up there JP.Way back then I was living in Lowton and got off the bus to have a quickie in the Woolpak.I made my way to the White Lion. The team bus came down Bradshawgate.

Well said FRANK B for comercial MANAGER

why not "invite" all rugby clubs around the area to join the leigh centurions v (who ever we get at home for the play offs) , match day events .... have pictures taken before the game on the pitch (if the prat of a groundsman says yes) . then have the likes off robbie or any other player help them train on a week nite.

its the little bits of inexpensive marketing which will get Crowds in the LSV.
