| Quote: TV BOY "It's Carlsberg Export upstairs which is a nice pint. I am going to buy my ST for the VIP because I can't think of a better place to have a pre match pint while watching the boys warm up. Plus the amount you save on the early bird ST pays for the difference in the cost of your beer over a season. If we don't move into these areas they will never ever feel like ours.'"
Yes but away supporters can't go in ,thats what i liked about MM bar ,thats what l like about the old grounds club houses you can mix with the other fans

| If LSV want to increase the secondary spend then they need to make Leigh fans feel welcome with a good pint and comfortable surroundings. A sterile council run room with rank ale in plastic glasses isn't the way to go. I'm half tempted for the VIP pass but then again they want me out by 6pm.
There is a reason why many fans, players, and club officials head off for the Park Inn as soon as they can, maybe they could take a look and think about it.

It's nothing more than a job to them, they're not bothered. It's up to the inmates to start running the asylum.

IRN-BRU - THE NEW TASTE OF RUGBY LEAGUE !!:10619.jpg |
|
| So we can safely assume that a MM type bar will never happen, yet Leigh East were able to secure one from the LSV co.
Hunslet Hawk's were also able to incorporate their own similar MM type bar at their council run stadium, generating much needed income (as their official informed us during the NRC cup tie, whilst encouraging us to spend time & money in it )
The question then should be why did Sporting Club Leigh fail ? I remember previous directors up to the SL season stating on numerous occasions there would be a MM supporters bar, and they would fight tooth and nail to ensure it.
I'm just interested as to how having one at HP didn't eventually materialise at The LSV, as with other clubs.

| I'm confused here because we were talkng about before the match and now it's post match. To be honest I never went to the MM bar after the game at HP because I had had enough of it by then and needed pastures new. What do we want our cake and eat it.

Think it applies in both situations, to be honest.

Not as confusing as the above.......
I thought we were talking about a match day experience as in the thread title

If it was 'our' ground then I'm sure things would be different.
We wouldn't, for example, have Franchise UK serving up overpriced pies ale and crisps; we'd still have Cheshire Catering putting a decent amount into the club whilst still serving up quality food for the corporates, selling decent ale, and affordable drinks/snacks for kids.
We have no more say in to what happens in those function rooms than we do over who uses the swimming pool on a Tuesday morning.
To LSV, we're simply tenants and are treated as such, yet in the same breath they wonder why attendances and secondary spend is lower than expected.
Until they start treating us as partners, working with us and giving the place some identity, nothing will change.

'Cherry and White Since 1878' another flag idea and a sly dig at the 'best team in the land'

| The problem we have now with any of this is that we are not the major tenants at the LSV but I bet they would struggle without us.

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 |

Because , much like the RFL , we were lied to , then given an ultimatum , sign up or be ostracised
As far as I know , not one single person from Leigh works on the upstairs office at the LSV , in fact only one is from this side of the pennines , and he is from Blackpool
I actually think it is a disgrace , and the people responsible should be brought to task about it

| But Steve if they were the best people for the job you don't have a leg to stand on. Would be good to know who else went for the posts though and who were on the positons board.
