That's an interesting choice but after you take in transport parking and insurance claim it works out far more

| Good god!! who came up with them prices
Good luck in selling them
Perhaps our board could learn from the world cup organisers who filled our ground,but it seems he thinks they were foolish in there pricng structure.
Be interesting to know what is the running cost for the lsv on match day

Hi Jeff
In response to your post I shall keep it as simplistic as possible:
Working on an average of 1800 last season (which is generous) we trailed grossly reducing the entrance costs against Batley in the NRC cup semi final to a tenner. Doing this effectively means you need to increase your gate by a further 1080 just to break back even. It didn't work we got the same gate. Likewise supporters want to see quality players on the field and to do this we need a budget to attract them. This has been carefully planned out and is work in progress. We have to capitalise on the quality of players we have attracted to the LSV and the opponents we have lined up for them. As much as we would like the whole town to come for free to see the stadium full we have to accept the financial and commercial issues surrounding running the club. In life you get what you pay for and we are charging for the quality we are providing and we believe we have priced that correctly. We cannot please everyone all of the time and we will have courage in our convictions and deal with the consequences if we get it wrong as ultimately as a board we will be covering any financial shortfall should our actions cause one. We appreciate all the feedback and are encouraged by the fact so many of our supporters and opposition are engaging in discussing what Leigh Centurions are doing from whichever perspective they choose.
Many thanks
Andy Mazey

And of course, we have to share the 'gate' with Wigan, Salford etc. who presumably will not be wanting to turn up for 50% of very little?

Yeah Likes of Wigan come and bring their first team squads for high profile friendlies for nothing Alan so let's just let everyone in for nowt or a fiver and not even cover cost of opening up the stands
I don't think people understand Alan that we have to pay the Club Staff, Coaching Staff and players contracts all year round not just in season and because we do not own the stadium and get the secondary spend from Bars and Food etc Ticket/ gate receipts are our only real source of income on match days.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

You have in a nutshell explained to people what 90% of fans already know or at least should do. The other 9% and Starbug will never be pleased whatever you guys do and find something to pick at and you should not take it personally as they are sad and bitter individuals who reading some of the nonsense they write honestly make you wonder if they really want to see LC succeed.
Me I'm grateful in the first instance we have a club thanks to you and the others and not just that we have a ambitious club who seem to be going places on and off the paddock!!!
Keep doing what your doing, we've not had a board as strong as this for many many years and not had a Director like yourself who interacts with the species and amateur teams etc since The great Brian Bowman.
All the Best

Not directly Steve but plenty of reference to the way the RLWC was marketed but bottom line is they filled LSV with cheap/ free tickets and we cannot afford to do that.

| To nobody in particular.
Bottom line is and final word on ticket prices is we won one of the two trophies on offer last year kept the squad together and have added 6/7 top class signings to the squad.
Our new pricing structures for the season are family orientated i.e a dad buying a ST gets a free kids ST so effectively dad and lad can go the match for 12 quid a game.
Flip side is we don't sign anyone get shut of players pay them all 20 quid a game and go down Duel Reg route but you can all come in cheap or for nowt???
It really is as straight forward as that.
Andy

Then as I pointed out, people need to READ what is posted, not what they think is posted
Again NOBODY has suggested free or cheap entrance, not me, not anybody
1 poster today has suggested the individual prices are high, but we had 3 posters yesterday suggesting that others had aiready done the same, not true
I stated several times how good a deal the 3/4 matches options were, my only suggestion was they could have been offered to everybody
This is a forum for discussion, better to read 1 st, then discuss, not jump to conclusions and attempt ridicule
Best of luck, I hope the town turn out in numbers to support the Boards investement

Not sure we're I've attempted to ridicule you or anyone else Steve to be honest certainly not intended to do so.
On the contrary your opening gambit in the thread was to suggest the BOD are "essentially" discriminating against non season ticket holders which while not ridiculing someone directly is rediculous none the less
I've had my final word on the subject and outlined the clubs position so will leave it at that Steve.
Cheers
Andy

Suppose its the chicken and the egg
You need the income and thus charge them prices
But to give you a incite to a conversation,"you going to the friendlies? " man in pub "yeah prob how much is it?" regular fan" its £16/£18 for you depending when you pay" man in pub "how much? for a friendly to watch wigan get 50,its was only a tenner for the world cup,think I'll give it a miss"
A few years ago the super league use to come and play, and the lower league covered there travel to the game, as this agreement been scraped now? meaning the lower team got a cash boost from the fixture
The season ticket price is great but I think you will have a lot of pain before the cash starts to roll in and you may have to tempt a very doubting local public in through the doors with cheaper prices than these,would have thought £10/£5 would have covered running costs and got a decent crowd in for these friendlies
Good luck with it

| As this an unofficial fans forum everyone has a right to their opinion.
Unless they break the AUP that is or get abusive towards another poster.
I hope , I really do that people turn up for these games and the stadium is at least half full
I'll go with :-
Wigan game 4000
Salford 3000
Wire 2000
Crusaders 2000
