The figures quoted to me are "over 50%" of the package prices, go to the club. |

Nothing to do with Swinton, Lynda. We were asked whether we would change and, for the reasons stated, did so.

Cant see many from Yorkshire though, making it over on Friday night and Halifax would have been one of our chances of a good crowd and decent away following had we played Sunday.'"
No - it was the RFL and Leigh Centurions. |

I think its worth a try. Few good ups on the Friday games and hopefully attract some new fans. And i think people will see an advantage as it frees up Sundays for family time, or doesn't clash with any football.
My only problem with it at all, is the same as with the Thursday night games. in that younger children will not be able to attend, due to it being rather late and bedtime. But with a good balance of games, everyone is accommodated.
Im happy

| Quote: Jimmy85 "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?'"
It depends who and how you market something , those already too cynical or lazy to support their local lower tier club wont suddenly become hard core fans just because we start playing on a Fridays , IMO |

It's not really that simple to be honest John. |

Take your point j.c. If the Friday venture proves successful, perhaps the club will then re-evaluate things - (my assumption that, not from the club) |

| I would suggest the club now needs to make clear targets of who and how it markets the different match days to ?

Can we presume a re-negociation of the catering costs have taken place ? Other wise your facts aren't actually facts as we don't make a bean out of corporate meals based off last years costs!

I think it frees up the whole WE not just sundays.
Is a child having a late night on friday really that bad when theres no school after?. |

I dont think that they will all instantly become hardcore fans, but its a lot easier to convince an armchair rugby fan to come to a live match on a Friday night, fresh after being paid for the week with a full wage in his pocket, than trying to convince one to come on a Sunday afternoon.
I dont think there is that much cynicism in the town in this age group, and I think fridays will suit a lot of people more than Sunday.
Im not asking them all to come and buy the shirts and season tickets, but two hours on a Friday night with a few drinks is a winner in my opinion. |
