Have to say, it's a bit of a cock up to not be able to issue tickets straight away off the back of the coverage the offer got. Hopefully they'll be ready this afternoon / tomorrow morning.

I was 3rd in queue, about 20 behind me & cars turning up all the time.
Ticket office staff had been in a meeting, hadn't even heard about it until late last night & stated no plan in place.

At least 2 of us couldn't get back to LSV again today due to work, the concern is that we might not get in the North Stand. You can't even buy a ticket for this game now & over 200 already have (refunds probably).

Still, it is a great idea to try & gain more fans if the new attendees enjoy the occasion & return, just poorly or even not planned.

Bought my Leeds ticket while I was there so not a complete waste of time.

Hopefully it’ll get sorted sooner than later, I’d doubt that the ticket office is the main concern I’d guess it’ll be a variety of other LSV issues

Will it have to be reserved seating?

Do LSV have the man power to open all sides/bars at relatively short notice?

Will enough stewards be available?

What about tickets already sold?

It’s a great idea by DB but I bet the LSV staff thought “Oh Sh!t!”

Good points there glow. I also think those who have already purchased a ticket need to be reimbursed before they can start issuing the freebies.

It's not a cock up. It's a great piece of thinking. They will be ready for tomorrow or Wednesday but I bet the ticket office staff are dreading it.

Do Batley fans get in Free as well?

There's only a few in minibus so would be a bit mean not to.

Leigh Centurions can confirm that this offer is being extended to supporters of Batley Bulldogs, and indeed all supporters of the Greatest Game Of All.

That answers my question, thank you Atomic.

Great gesture and a brilliant way of getting a database of potential fans for next season before a ball is kicked.
Hopefully all remaining merchandise will be on sale and forms for season tickets for next season available to hand out to people 'caught up' in what's happening.
Would have probably put in measures to ensure those who have attended all season don't miss out on the usual spot/seat(ie: moved from the North to the South stand)so maybe a buying 'previous history' sale on Tuesday and then general giveaway of 'remaining' tickets from Wednesday to Friday, might make it more manageable for the ticket staff as well.
Either way it will be a brilliant day and fitting send off to the lads who have worked so hard to get us up to see a busy LSV cheering them on.
