So boys If you not up for the £18.00 get a few of you in a car, share the petrol costs, Get into the game and a few beers and burger for the same price, That way you can check out the competition for our next League game.'"
Then well done to the Fax club , for doing this  though im sorry , i wont be taking up your offer of travelling to the Shay , as i prefer watching my beloved Leythers at the LSV , someone once said "Love Never Dies ",i think it was Liz Taylor  ,i love the Centurions . |

Peawaap my friend , i feel i must disagree here , on Good Friday , a couple of the Caroli clan , including yours truly , were well looked after and treated just as good as we are treated when at the LSV watching the Centurions , there was a bit of friendly banter , but nothing nasty .
As you know Charlie tries to get on with everybody , lifes to short .

My point was that they wouldn't be clearing the ground for a double header, if the offered individual game tickets aswell as the double header they would have to chuck out only SOME of the supporters from the 1st game which I would imagine would be difficult to police which is why I can understand only offering the double header ticket.
The problem is entirley the cost of the double header ticket given that it is 2 amateur sides playing against Touloue & East Leeds. |

I have a very good friend who I have known since his Son and my Grandson joined Leigh Miners under sixes, and they are now both 17 ,He and His son and his Dad were avid swinton fans and season ticket holders ,and now he never ever goes because of the Kidds ,as He says neither of em know the first thing about Rugby and another thing they haven't played in Swinton for 21 years ,so as far as He is concerned (and He was a red hot fan) the Kidd's can go and make love to themselves or words to that effect, and after last season there is no doubt that I feel more comfortable at Halifax. Dewsbury and especially Batley than I do at Leyth when it's Swinetowns home game  |

Get over yourself peawapp.
Quite honestly Swinton fans who use the excuse that the club have been out of the town for 20 odd years really get on my nerves. On the assumption we ever got close to a Challenge cup final would those same fans say that.......No they would be the ones spouting off about how they have watched them for years, in my opinion it's an excuse not to go.
I always thought that as a supporter you watch your team through good and bad times and if that means I have had to watch us play at a number of different venues then I will. Don't you think that every Lions fan would be much happier at a ground we can call home, of course we would. But harsh facts of life have dictated that we can't so for me the next best thing is watch them wherever they call home.
I have to say I have never witnessed any animosity from Lions fans towards the Leigh fans indeed on Friday I was sat with a Leigh lad who I have got to know quite well from the gym where we have good friendly banter so I don't know where your dislike of us comes from.
I'll be there on Saturday along with my son and I will watch us play the French and then will stay and watch the Leigh team...why because I recognise the help your club has given us in the past.
You carry on with your wittering about "Swinetown" but you are so way off the mark.

So Halifax are charging their fans £7.50 and Leigh are charging their fans £18 against an amateur side.
I know which club I want to be successful and the one that really deserves to be successful

With two seperated kick off times it wouldn't be a double header, it would be two seperate games that could be priced accordingly and would attract more fans the the eighteen quid nonsense.
BTW, there aren't four amateur sides playing. |

Harold, your post is technically incorrect. Correct if you only watch one game. Incorrect in that it is sold as a double header.

Charlie I think the guy you are referring to is a bloke called John Waye..he was Chairmen for a short while when we still had Station Rd, a nive guy I recollect. Sadly he was around at the time Station Rd was ripped from the heart of the club by the infamous Malcolm White. Again I can't recollect Mr Waye's involvement in that sad episode if any at all.

You are more than likely correct Marshy , he seemed a nice bloke , i must admit all the Swinton connections made us feel very welcome , a big thank you to them . |

I see your point Demon.
Personally speaking I would only ever want to watch Leigh's game so to me it is extremely over priced and I shall not be attending. So that's nil revenue to the club from my pocket.
Those who want to watch both games will admittedly be getting a better deal but what take up the club can attract for that really does remain to be seen.
I also appalud Halifax RLFC for pricing their match extremely fair so to add more appeal to their encounter and I really hope they pull in a decent crowd and make some money on the back of it. |
