I am dissapointed at the negative comments regarding 12 - 16yr olds.
That is the age group we should target as they are potentially the next batch of paying fans. Do you really think that a group of 16yr olds on Firs Park drinking cider will give a flying fig about walking to the LSV to pay a quid for the pleasure of standing around for 90mins were they can't drink and smoke etc? If they are interested in the game they will watch it otherwise why bother. After all, they prefer dark parks etc so why would they want to be under the bright lights of the LSV in full view of hundreds of adults.

Another major issue when trying to get parents to take younger kids - they must be able to buy pop and crisp etc at good prices. Kids will always want refreshments at an event - what would it cost a dad for pop and a hot dog for 2 kids at the LSV? I bet he would think twice about taking them again.

Don't forget, whatever incentives are available we need a winning and entertaining team on the park or they won't return.

Tell you what, let's not try anything. The club tries a range of things for a range of people and get nothing but stick from the same people.

You are damaging the club more than they are by using these forums to constantly put them down.

Youre pi55ing and whining nomatter what.

Put up or **** off

The majority of sporting loyalties start at ages 8-11 , if thats any help

I totaly agree with most of your comments but the cost of food is only the same if not cheaper than what you buy at the new cinema. I know the entertainment is better (in the childrens eyes) at the cinema and this is where the big question is. How do we make it trendy to go and watch the Centurions for the kids of Leigh? Maybe they come in with an adult but are allowed into the south or east stand or they have there own club in part of the east stand like a youth club.

So who convinces the adult to come?

The kids. If a child mythers their parents for long enough they get what they want. Maybe there are parents or gransparents who are part of the die hards that have children who could be prospective fans. Gets the kids in and it could be a case that their parents realise what they have been missing

Maybe a lot of parents don't go to the cinema for the same reason.
Anyway dads should be going to watch rugby, not watching a bl88dy film!

My step nephews coming friday as a result of this offer.

i know of another 2 that are coming, lets just hope we carry on with the new initative

Are these 'new' kids coming with an additional adult? Not knocking it either way, as all is welcome, just curious.

Aye, with adults who already do attend

I think it's a good offer and it might get a few in.
I'll be bringing my 15 and 16 year old 'chavs', they're too old for the offer but they don't mind standing with Mum

Great news Lucy, a responsible parent setting standards/morals for their kids. JUST THE TYPE OF FAMILY GROUP WE SHOULD TARGET
