We go Leigh East cheap food and beer and a stone throw from the ground. Also amatuer rugby being played there every Sunday, for prematch entertainment.

I know someone who's company has paid over £5000 for a box for the season. This company is a good sponsor for Leigh, and had been for quite a while.
They don't normally eat in the box because it's too expensive so they've been going to the hotel. However on Sunday they had some guests and asked if they could have the Mother's Day meal. 'Certainly Sir, that'll be £35 per guest' was the reply and my friend went on to explain that he already had a match day ticket and had already paid for a box and couldn't he just pay for the meal? 'Sorry Sir you'll have to pay £35 to have the meal!
My friend and his clients were appalled - is this the way to treat one of our biggest sponsors? I think not!!

BTW, £35 was the price for a ticket and meal in the Mothers Day package!


How can you run a business like this?

Problem is Mish that the club are suffering because of this and its not their fault. Their hands are tied on what they charge?

I know, and the management company are going to run the club down to the ground unless someone gets a grip of what's happening there.

I just can't believe what's happening TBH. The whole thing seems to be turning into a nightmare!

therin lies the problem mish the sponsor was a Leigh Cent sponsor and not a LSV catering company one, one thing you mcan rely on was that someone in the sponsors 'party' will have gone away blaming the centurions.

Is the away end standing? I used to bring my kids to HP and they never got board and would like them to come to LSV this season

Did you say all that without taking a breath?

I'd agree about the whining etc, yes LSV is an infinatly better facility and you will find that 99% of the time I will back the club up on whatever happens.

Regarding the kids, it does have to be a fun day for them otherwise they are bored rigid. Its not a game of rugby to them, (in the same sense as it is to you and me), its an 'occasion' they need to enjoy.

'Away' stands (South and East) are sitting only. The North Stand is standing only. However, currently, only the West and North stands have been open, so if that's the case, when we play you, you may be able to stand!

Cheers Alan

But as you're a Widnes fan (I think?), chances are you'll be in the South

see this is just a indication o what is possible if everybody workstogether for the common good, your credit to your club and to the wider game of rl keith, well done, take a note lsv.

That's absolutely brilliant - thanks, Keith.

I was asked, how we could sell more programmes and my simplistic answer was - 'Atttract more people to the games'. Easy, isn't it?
