The people of Leigh are a lost cause Steve, you've admitted as much yourself in the past. Too much negatives in the past and too much of a bad stigma.
Let's get some people who might have never given RL a try before and let them come in to things with an open mind and let themselves decide whether they fancy coming on a regular basis. And we certainly won't be helping RFL expansion as they'd all firm Leigh fans before Red Hall created Ewood Ewoks.

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

Dont think you'll ever find me posting that Matt
The ' ex ' fans are a lost cause but the people of the towns [ all three ] are far from a lost cause
They just need a lot of hard work , a bit of investment and a new angle of approach and they will come IMHO of course , and I have been known to be wrong before [ not often like ![]() |

When is en ex-fan truly an ex-fan? As I've been saying on here since my first ever post being a fan is not black and white. Every GMR-listener has their trigger point to become a paying spectator again.
At the two extremes, for some it may take a SL Grand Final or Challenge Cup Final, for others they will go home and away no matter how low we fall.
In between there is a big long sliding scale ranging between 500 and 10,000. It would seem that I'm a fairly fair-weather fan who bails out at about 2,300!
Basil's appointment just jumped us up the scale by 500 I'd guess. |

I wouldn't disagree with that synopsis at all, and with a few quality signings close season I'd guess you could push that to 800/1000.....ish.  |

I also have to agree. The opportunities for supporters are endless. For myself it could be a night round town with the lads post match or a quiet drink / meal with the mrs. Sundays free for family days or even an extra day round town with the lads... 
"Yes Julia, Leigh really do have to play both Saturdays and Sundays on weekends. I don't like it as much as you but don't blame me, blame Lewis !!  "

Agree.
Friday is still too much of a rush and hard on the awaya supporters, but still prefer to Sundays. |

I agree , but the problem is nobody can guarantee anything on the pitch side of things
All you can try to do is play attractive RL and then get the people down to see it , hopefully that along with as good a matchday experience as you can provide will entice some to want to either start watching or to return watching
It is a simple enough business plan , produce a reasonably good product , let people sample it [ for free if neccessary ] and hope they then want to buy it
My reasoning is that some have tried it before and decided they no longer liked it , but there are a lot out there that have never tried it
You chase both , problem is some will only buy ' the best ' and if you cannot provide the best they wont purchase , whereas others who have never bought that particular product might be willing to purchase something not quite the best but still a good product
Sorry I hate using all the ' buy and product ' stuff but it is the simplest way to explain the thinking |
