I'm all for Saturday evening and although it won't suit everyone we should at least give it a shot perhaps?

No matter what time or day we play you will not satisfy everyone.

Quote: worldcup "Like most people have suggetsed.
Open the stand opposite the main stand,
let kids in free with an adult (make in the family stand)
Get some cheap food for the kids, sweets and pop.
Encorage more disabled people free with a paying minder (after all it has a disabled viewing area may as well use it)

technically that already happens I am disabled myself so I bought a season ticket & one for my carers & only paid for the price of one. They seem very understanding at the LSV as did at HP. Thanks to the club for this hastle free allowance icon_thumb.gif

Also think people are having to stretch their finances further with the lack of work and overtime, it can be a bit difficult to justify spending 50-60 quid per month on the rugby when money is tight anyway.

Two points on this well three in my opinion.

Its pretty costly to pay on the day regularly so i think we missed a trick with the season tickets

Glad to see most on here dont pay to go watch Wigan, Wire etc because if you did you would be paying considerably more than £20 to sit down the touchline so were people get we charge the same is beyond me.

And finally how can you entice any fans to come and watch us when the season means nothing with that draw bridge down. Its the RFL that are killing the game by having no promotion/relegation. No other sport does it I wonder why?????

I think its clubs and fans that are killing the game more by continuing to have the obsession with SL. Most clubs in our league can't get into SL anyway so they aren't effected.
Most fans didn't turn out week in week since 2004 (with slightly more interest for a few months in 2005). We all know that 2 sets of fans turned up for the big one at the end of the season. Attendances for the bread and butter league games have been in decline for a while for us with or without SL is everything being dangled there.

It will be my first time at the Shay & I want to be where the Leythers are to show the lads the support & sing my heart out. I've heard on here some mentioning going behind the sticks wot stand are they reffering to & is this where we're all going? Thanks icon_wink.gif

Which teams in our league cant get in SL?? Currently all of them, with the draw bridge down which cant get in and why??

Me and you could start a football team tomorrow and with the correct ground facilities you can get to the Champions League, can you do that in RL, NO!! In fact its the complete opposite you can stay in the elite league and play in a 1930's stadia!

Some good ideas on here especially opening the East as a Family Stand.

Do the club have a marketing department, this is not a pop at them, its a genuine question as I honestly have not seen any marketing going on to get people in.

Another point, rather than people just saying it on here, suggest it to the club, THEY are the ones who can do something about it not people on here a046.gif

Lets look at facts here:

v Oldham 1627
v Featherstone 1729
v Whitehaven 1891

Is there a trend here? None of these fixtures involved more than 50 traveling fans?

Lets see what happens on Easter Monday.

By the way, I have not included the cup game v an amatuer side which was played after 2 other games over that weekend involving Leigh teams at the stadium

I have not included Barrow with the "kids offer" kindly donated by the co-operative.

I have not included the friendlies with Super League sides who brought very good followings considering the circumstances)

I am not saying this is good enough.

I am not saying that there should be more offers to entice some fans in.

I am saying our crowds are still on the up and lets see over the next couple of home games what transpires.

Dont forget we have gone from the dross last year to a bit of improvement this year. Just like 1999 icon_wink.gif icon_cool.gif
