The justification was that in the past some people would have a child's ticket and they were well past 16 (I won't name and shame, but a famous poll creator may have been guilty of this in his late teens)

However if all these tickets are being distributed through schools then could this be properly monitored in High Schools? If they come via a headteacher or organiser who would authorise it from each school, it'd stop anyone from cheating the system. Maybe charge the High Schoolers a little more than the Junior Schoolers. The more people we can get in to the ground the better, and the High Schoolers are not far off the age to start giving us real money!

Having said that, I appreciate it's easy for me to assume this not knowing the organisation behind the scenes, and costs of this and of course it's probably all done by hard working volunteers - just an idea from me.

I though the stat that Alan gave, that we used to have over 800 junior members, was amazing btw

Aw come on Moe, that's slander!

Like I said though it would depend whether the new coach would want any internet access at all, it's something that would have to be ironed out with the new guy, I will try and make it one of my priorities as and when he is in place.

I thought when it was written down it was libel ??

But don't worry mate, you've put enough money in since your teens, no one can dispute your commitment

Ah, so it's going to be a bloke then?

All stemmed from a quid per game in '98ish which then became a £10 season ticket during Millward's first spell. I'd watched Leigh occasionally prior to that, but it was those initiatives that turned me (and most of the people who I go to games with) in to regular fans.

The slogan 'A Quid For A Kid' came up in early discussions in the group. Personally I think that could be misconstrued, in this day and age.

When can we sign up for this then? I know the leaflets on Wednesday were only to gauge interest but the sooner the money starts to roll in the better.

I hope that everyone gets behind the club, one way or the other, even if its just a £1 a month, if all the hardcore of us that come to the games, bought one less beer, drink, pie etc and gave that money to the club instead thats 1000 fans at £3 each x 12 games a season, its enough to pay a couple of players contracts alone .
I would have done a deal personally that included a season ticket, shirt, LISA membership, entry to the main room and after match speeches, and all the other bits too ...thats affordacble and it covers the fans needs, start paying now too and it would get money in straightaway.

All junior concessions must be with a photo and proof of age. They should also have a seperate turnstyle so it can be policed.
Junior School concessions MUST be with an adult - with the price reflecting that eg £10/20 with an adult season ticket
High School concessions must be priced higher eg £40/50
Student (up to 21 yo) concessions at £80/90, also with photo and ID
OAP concessions at £100 with proof of age.

I would also like the club to organise a couple of foc functions for our older fans, to thank them for a lifetime of support and make them feel special for a few hours. It is often this generation introducing the grandkids to the club.

Some kids might only get 'the bug' in the early years of high school when they're allowed to go on their own etc - pricing it as twice as much as a W*gan season ticket might be pricing ourselves out of the market, Mo.

My suggestion weeks ago was £20 per month for 10 months.
Season Ticket, member of 'Proud Leyther' club with access to main bar before and after games (subject to safety limits), invites to exclusive club functions and a 'Proud Leyther' branded polo shirt.

Who wouldn't be a 'Proud Leyther' member? Can you imagine the look on the faces of the 'know it alls/knockers' when you walk into the boozer with your 'Proud Leyther' shirt on? Especially when you ask are they not a 'Proud Leyther'?

Junior 'Proud Leythers' when purchasing with Adult, £5 a month. Concessions £16 etc

Factor in travel to DW and it will cost less. Its also easier to nip accross to the LSV on sunday as opposed to try getting a bus back from Wigan at 10/11pm on a Friday night, and a responsible parent wouldn't be letting a 12 year old do that.

Are Wigan under 16 season tickets £20/25 ?

Not had a season ticket/been to a game or visited this board for about 3 years having become disillusioned but if this scheme goes ahead would be in for 2 bronzes.
