| Our crowds against last seasons relegated clubs were 1250 and 1850 so 2071 is a big improvement especially as away fans were virtually non existent. People are deffo creeping back.

| I was amazed that we got over 2,000. Our problems have been: -
1. We played all the 'crowd attracting' teams at the beginning of our unbeaten run. By the timer that people have latched on, we are playing all the lower teams. (our next four legue games - home & away - are against the current bottom four)
2. We inevitably get caught for Thursday TV games for some of our 'attractive' games. (i.e. Halifax coming up)
3. The fact that there is 'nothing to play for', other than a vague promise of 'jam tomorrow'. (or in three years to be exact) That's why crowds at ALL Championship clubs are suffering - despite the RFL's insistence that all is well, in the Championship.
Whoever finds the solution to this problem, should bottle & sell it!

So as I suggested , we pick out a game and aim to have all four stands open , and go for a 5,000 genuine attendance

These Chairmen deserve better - really feel for them. Townsfolk need to get off their fat a[irs[/ies and get out on a Sunday !!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Don't you mean 812 down on last years average?
That's a decent crowd for Leigh that, obviously I don't know how it compares to your recent ones but not bad going at all. Though with every Premiership game being on Sunday may have made sense for all clubs (possible) to play Saturday this week?

| Thought the crowd was good considering football was being played same day,we had 4 missing from our party as they are bolton season ticket holder.
I would have thought the club would have moved the game yesterday to friday night as the catalan game the crowd held up well.
Our problem is we are in this 3 year limbo ticking boxes wow wee,the british public want the drama and excitement of yesterdays football relegation not oh what about this team they have nice shiny seats and sell a load of burgers at halftime nonsense.
No doubt the franchise fairies will tell me its for the best as we get 3 years to grow,yeah right how do we grow when after every successful season you get the players snatched from you as you can't compete as the wonderful salary cap means you can't match terms???.
How about having one up one down each year how hard can that be??????

| Can the LSV not advertise the games a little better. There is very little in the way of advertisment for upcoming games in town.

| Thought 2,071 wasn't s'bad against a mid table small team opposition clashing with the last premiership football game of the season. That was my quandary to go to Bolton and see them play the last game of one of their best season for a few years despite the fact they seem to have not bothered playing for the last month or go and watch Leigh who are playing brilliant rugby, I decided the team playing well deserved my support more. A few people have mentioned Bolton FC, it'd be interesting to see how many Leigh Season ticket holders are also Bolton Season ticket holders and if it may be worth considering changing the fixtures when Bolton get moved to a Sunday game, as that really annoys me, football on a Sunday.

| Most fans prefer Sunday rugby (Im not one of them by the way) according to a 'straw poll' some time ago maybe it's a time for another?

| I think shifting the games to avoid football clashes is a dangerous precedent as there are also plenty of Leigh fans (several of whom post on here) who watch United, City and even Latics which might affect our crowds, so where do you draw the line?
Must add that I'm no longer in the band of being a season ticket holder at both Leigh and BWFC, and the last time I missed a Leigh game because of football was away to Celtic Crusaders in 2007 because of a clash with the Hibs-Kilmarnock CIS Cup Final!

| Unfortunately with the company I work for making a third of the workforce redundant in the next couple of weeks I've had more important things to worry about this weekend!
