the club will be looking at more initatives in April, but schools will be targeted so we can actually advertise it properly.
IMO we should target high schools, £1 a kid and you can enter the grounds with out supervision of an adult. we should also have school competitions, design our next poster (winning poster gets printed/ school win a framed poster) ect ect
if we make the schools feel involved, kids will come'"
No they wont. If we get parents involved they will.

i think we have established not all adults will pay £14/£16/£18. we can see that by looking at the abismal attendences we currently have.
are you suggesting we drop the price? children will come with their mates. I came once with my brother and loved it. Ive been watching ever since then, even made a few mates whilst there.

| Look lets just try it, let all the kids in with or without adult, not many 4 years old would find their way on their own. If enough come next time open the East stand for them, stick Parky in there and a steward.

this is why under 16s in for a £1 would be a win win situation. how many under 12's will come friday night? half of them will be asleep.
between the ages 14-16 on a friday night will be sitting on a corner causing mischief, or drinking on fairs park i should know it was only 6-8 years ago i was doing it

I don't think many High School kids would want to go to a match with mummy and daddy - it's not cool.
Also, you'll probably find that potential problem kids will not want to spend even a quid on rugby - that's beer & cig money.
Lets try anything 'coz whatever were doing now isn't working!

| Even better a shedful of White Lightning on Firs and Penny park then into the game for a quid - top night out.
By all means use cheap ST's to attract 12-16 year olds, not quid admission without adult.
Oh and we now have 2bobs on Friday, no not the 2bobs or was that 3bobs, but 2 full paying adults in tow. If all the fans with Grandkids/kids take up the offer we may reach a decent gate.

| By the lord, there are some pessimistic buggers on here.
Firstly, so what if we do get a few chavvy types on the ground? We always used to get them at HP and I don't recall them ever causing any real problems - no more than pished up adults have in the past - so what cause is there to believe otherwise this time.
My guess is that the hardcore chavvy types would be busy spending their etra quid on a bottle of cheap cider while they still can. Or at least they'll not be heading down to LSV - same as any style, 'you need to be seen to be cool', and much as I hate to break it to you all, I don't think heading to LSV comes under that heading.
As for the 'you need 400 through to make the same money as 40 season ticket holders - very true. You do realise that it's 400 seats across the remainder of the season, and not 400 extra seats per game though, don't you? I think that could well be achievable, or thereabouts.
From my POV, I think next season Leigh need to abolish the season ticket for kids, and just go with the 'kid for a quid' idea all season. I think we'd make more money that way over the season, but I do see the need for a kids paddock or similar.
God, why is it that whenever the club does nothing, it's seen to be 'out of ideas', but when it does something 'it's a rubbish idea'?

| The Leigh website states that the 'fetch a kid for a quid' offer only applies to kids under the age of 12
