More corporate hospitality can be sold on a friday, which, like it or not, more than makes up for the few of you that can't go because of work.
A few neutrals will probably attend on the friday too who wouldn't bother after the Wigan/Saints game

Good to see Leeds subsidising the transport , hospitality would probably have sold the same whether on TV or not, it will be impossible to know either way but I doubt we’ll get enough extras through the gate to make up for the loss of TV revenue, extra advertising etc.

Advertising possibly, I'm unaware as to your arrangements in that regard. Despite Leeds' home attendances being huge I really think you'd have struggled to break 3.5k if this game was on TV, however I feel you'll hit 5k now and at an average of £17 per pop, minus VAT ofc gives you, imo an extra 20k off the top of my head, double your split of TV money.

Secondly it's quite well known that hospitality sells better on fridays, hence Leeds, Hull, Saints, Salford et als personal choice to play on the friday when they're well aware general attendances will be hit

When do tickets go on sale?

They are on sale now, so let's make a big effort to get them shifted.

We wont get £17 it'll be nearer £8- £10 by the time the RFL, LSV, taxman, Fred etc have had their cut.

Hopefully the Friday night hospitality will be sold out but I feel this would be the same if on TV or not.

Brilliant, at least we were clearly prepared to go and were waiting on the numpties at RFL and Wigan.

I'm assuming we're giving Leeds the South Stand?

Glad it's got sorted... Friday night kick off gives us an extra couple of days preparation/rest for the home game with Hunslet.

You mean where not playing Keighley on the Sunday?

The fact that we are still going ahead with a Friday night instead of a Saturday evening match, thus reducing the Leeds away support from up to 2000 supporters to about 100 can only mean either / or IMO:

A) We are still trying to convince SKY to take up their option of broadcasting the tie in their scheduled slot.

B) LSV have subsequently ruled the club out of Saturday in the hope of landing the Pie's v Saints Saturday afternoon match.

I can not see any potential increase in corporate revenue being a reason. We don't make that much as it is and the last time Leigh played a Saturday evening at LSV, I am sure Trvor Barton made the point that it was the first occasion that all of the corporate box's had been sold out.

Leeds have been allocated tickets in the south and east stand

Hope they fill them both!

Also £10 coach travel thats £5 cheaper than normal or they can use a voucher they get with their season ticket for free travel.

We cant say leeds arnt trying to promote this game

Blimey, that's good then.

So they're getting in for around £18 when they'd normall be looking at the best part of £30?

Good work on their part.

Surely we've missed a trick there jonny? Shouldn't we have paid for their travel and given each one a complimentary ticket? Of course, they'd have to pay £25 for their programme though!
