Just tell then that the club needs as many bums on seats as possible. Everyone knows RL in general needs more fans too. It always has.

Leigh have the potential to drag in fantastic crowds. The entire set-up is geared towards SL.

Just tell them thats what the club wants them to do - Jump on and enjoy the ride.

O.k, this might upset a few but shouldn't.

We are living in very difficult times, while some people are doing great thank you very much, others are suffering financially.

Let me give you my example, 4 years ago I could afford to go to every game home & away (but work commitments would never allow this).

Even with our exciting & talented team & the growing atmosphere & "I must be there" feel good factor of the Club, over the last 2 years I have had to pick & choose which games I attend, inevitably this is going to be the biggest most exciting fixtures.

A 5 year pay freeze & cuts means both my job & my Mrs are not secure, we earn less but bills are higher than ever & we have a 3 year old to put first.

I would love to be a season ticket holder & to buy my friends & family tickets, but for many in these times this is just not realistic. I have in fact done just this, but 3 & 4 years back when the team was not nearly as good.

I feel we/the Club are missing a trick here.

Just down the road we have the largest town in Britain, Bolton.
Bolton currently have a very poor Football Club & a large Asian community that have not been engaged with.

The net needs to be cast much further afield IMHO, engage different areas & communities, give away hundreds of free tickets to schools in places like Bolton, it may work, it may not, but what I am talking about is long term building, not flash in the pan, but sustained growth.

Leigh Centurions have been great this year, the Media team have been very proactive, we have ITV/Granada in board etc, the buzz & interest in Leigh RL is immense, but it must continue to grow.

So buy a ticket for a mate or family member if you can afford to, but the club also should continue the great work already started.

You'll upset more than a few on here with that!

I always thought Bolton was the largest town in Europe!!

I don't see Wigan calling themselves a very poor Football club,given the possible life line they have just been thrown.

If your in a position to buy a season a ticket ie: football,rugby or whatever sport,the choice is yours.Either way if you don't turn up,your still supporting the club.

It's not just about buying tickets. It's doing everything you can- like the clubs posts on Facebook, retweet the clubs tweets, spread the word when out and about in Leigh etc.

If you cant buy a mate a ticket, go when you can and buy a half time draw, magazine, lctv subscription.

But if you can't afford to spend anymore then just do your best promoting the club.

It would be disappointing to have less than 3k tomorrow. When the football season finishes and in the 8s I expect the attendances to increase but it's up to every supporter, it's in all our interests, to get more people involved.

People often talk about the chicken and egg situation - more crowds equal a better team but currently we have a great team. It must be the easiest time to convert someone to be a Leigh fan. We've also had a great performance on sky and will hopefully back it up on the bbc.

The players are doing all they can as are the board. Now it's up to each and everyone of us to support the club in any way we can.

I thought that's what everyone was doing unless my medication is to strong.

Will hit 3k again tomorrow with little away support, let's keep building

I really hope so the lads deserve it but the United gsme at 1.30 May hold s few off .

3,036 attended today,which is excellent.

i can only see them steadily rising even further as the season progresses,must be on course for a 4-5,000 season average.

We should be averaging 3500-4000 with this team in this league. So today's attendance should keep us on track for that target

2800...Salford v Castleford today, we are doing rather well, IMO !

Great crowd

Total attendance for the 5 Championship home games is 21,039.
Average is therefore 4,208.
Am I right in thinking we budgeted for 3,000?

Salford 2800 brilliant. Koukash will be over the moon.
