Most fans in this league don't travel to away games so why think they will travel to Blackpool?

Bad idea that will blow back in the RFLs face but who will spin it as a success.

6 of us booking for that
Go Friday........Return Monday

Fred have faith , as you I will travel anywhere , but im not keen on the Yorky grounds , the fans will travel to the Promised Land , especially if the weather is good , just out of interest where would be your preference ?

Well I make this prediction.

Should our team perform next season as they have done this we will take about 3k to Blackpool.

Oh and Charlie there is nothing wrong with the overwhelming number of Yorkshire grounds.

My thoughts exactly Fred, thats why I suggested a smaller ' friendlier ' venue, for the cost of renting Bloomfield Road they could put cheap subsidised travel to west Yorkshire

Best case scenario at Blackpool is 8,000 rattling around with some games in front of less than a 1,000

Worst case scenario at BatleyDewsbury is 4,000 but still a great atmosphere, and something that could then be built on

3,000 for a league match! , when was the last time that happened outside of Wigan?

Frank you know I have an aversion to Yorky Puds for Starters and the Roast Dinners at Wetherspoons in Dewsbury the beef is that tough , it asked Henry and Bernard for a fight , Bernard was still chewing his at Full time at the Dews game .You could be right about the crowd Prediction , although Starbug will be missing .

The whole point of the Magic Weekend is that it is a break from the norm. I was completely sceptical of the idea until I went to one a couple of years ago and was very much sold on the idea. I hope people do their bit for our league's reputation and support the idea in numbers.

I know that Blackpool is not your favourite place but lots of folk enjoy
a day out there and because Leigh will be playing there I feel a lot of folk who do not normally attend our home games will make the trip because success is infectious.

I think we need to look to the future' although of course lessons are learned from the past. Our club is going in the right direction and most Leigh folk do like Blackpool wether they normally watch RL or not.

Who knows some might attend a Leigh game for the first time and enjoy it so much that they might come again.

That's right at Dews all packed under the stand in a Bar that doesn't hold 100 , and at Batley in a Bar smaller than my front room , of course there is the Batley beer garden , but it could be raining , parking is not bad at Dews , but Batley then there is access to these grounds , and Batley has the Frontier Club at night .

Yes I may well watch all 6 games , depending on who was playing who , I think you are doing Donny , Bradford , Fev , and the Seagulls a disservice , as they are not bad teams , my week-end there will be booked as soon as Mrs Caroli says its OK . .

Charlie will order you a drink next time I see you I wont pay for it , but I will order it .

Not denying that Leythers travel well most of the time, but do Sheffield? ,London?,Haven?,Cougars ?,York?

Seriously, this is for a league match, not a cup final, it only works if you can double/treble every clubs normal away support AND they stay for all three matches on their gameday, and they dont all decide to head off to the pubs in the centre

Where would I play it?

Easy, as IMO I wouldn't, the idea is flawed as per my reason before.

BUT if anywhere it would be in the Midlands as it seems that is where the RFL are trying to expand to especially as Coventry Bears are in the Championship 1 from next year.
