I`d hazard a guess about............... 10 at those prices.

Having attended last night I would be amazed if 2400 people paid. A gate of 3600 in attendance with at least 50% being kids who all had free tickets leaves at best 1800 paying which I doubt but airing on caution that gives 1800 multiplied by £4 £7200 in gate receipts. If you wish our club to do such an exercise expect to be playing Championship 1.

I was in the stand behind the goals and it was chaos Id best describe it as being in one of those brewers fayres places, kids running riot, most of them not wanting to watch the game and many parents totally disinterested.

It might look good the original gate figure but I fully support the club in their stance on not giving away our product!

Well its either the entertainment that is not catching the imagination, or/and the cost is too much.
Rather have 3600 or whatever inside against half that, as long as not losing money on it.

3500+ people are willing to go to LSV on a Monday night, how do we get them there for Leigh games?

If, has been stated/rumoured on here this game was promoted by LSV, will they be promoting our games?

Its like comparing chalk and cheese,

one is your local team who are trying to operate as a business.

one is a global brand giving free entry and charging a max £4 for adults.

The only thing it highlights to me is our average of 2300 was fantastic if only 3600 turn up to watch a global brand at those prices.

Incidently for all those who turned up last night thinking they cant get in to Old Trafford try the Man U ticket office tomorrow they have plenty spare for the first teams next home game!! Oh wait a minute they dont want to pay full price I wonder why they dont want to watch us???? Just a thought....

Blackburn isn't a global brand.

I'm not embarrassed, I don't believe all those people payed for the tickets. And even the ones that did only paid a quid or two and from what people have said, the kids ran round not watching and people got bored and went home early.

Just because there are narrow minded brainwashed morons who turn up to watch Man Utd do ANYTHING, trust me a few Man Utd players getting on as train can attract 300 people.

You Really dont like UTD do you Jonny

I havn't got anything against them. I grew up as a Man Utd supporter, then got bored. It's the football fan mentality that winds me up. If say Liverpool said 'we're going to get Kenny Dalglish to sign a picture of Stig Inge Bjornebye in his own faeces at Anfield-only £10 a ticket!' it would sell out.

Not all, but a hell of a lot of footbal fans either follow the flock to be 'in' with people or never stop and think 'i'm not enjoying this and it's pretty expensive too'.

Johnny, you forgot that its boring as hell to watch, and why do there players go down, like they've been shot by a sniper, then roll the pitch for the groundsman, then jump up and carry on playing?
In my eyes that's called cheating, and another reason I no longer follow the boring game.

I have tp agree Dave all that diving and feigning ( word of the day ) injury really p1sses me off

I'm not having it that they don't practice diving in training because viva Ronaldo is a master of it
