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.

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

Thanks for the feedback Jeff will pass it on.

PS you think wrong unfortunately you can take it from me 5/10 quid will not cover the costs of opening two/ three sides and associated stewarding costs etc and I think it's only right I state this so when you do have your conversations in the tap rooms of Leigh you are speaking with facts from an official source rather than relaying urban myths.

Also your understanding of the lower League team keeping all associated gate receipts in some instances still applies to some games but not the Wigan fixture nor the Salford one.

Andy

Simple fact is Jeff and what I'd be saying if I were involved in your pub conversation is if you want a ambitious strong top championship and potential SL club and team you need to get you hand in your pocket and help contribute and support it.

Cheers

Andy

Andy I hope you remember to calculate the expenses correctly. I understand the costs of the tannoy and screen are astronomical. That should sort out the shared gate monies!!!

Thankfully this will be the responsibility of our grumpy Finance Director and he's so tight he has a glass door on his fridge so he can make sure the light goes off when he closes it

Re expenses at the LSV 20% of ticket costs are VAT. Stadium hire must be 10 % then stewarding costs and the cost of match officials and travelling expenses.

To have a competative side folk have to pay a reasonable price for it . Charge next to nothing and you will never watch a side able to compete with sides who currently average more than 5 times in attendances and more of our average attendances.

When you go out for a meal you have the choice of a burger at MacDonalds or a more expensive restaurant but we all know which you would rather visit on a regular basis.

Promotion and relegation will be back at the end of 2014 and imo about time too.

We have a great squad this coming season lets turn up' back them and our Board who have assembled this squad.

My view is you get what you pay for.

The bottom line has to be that we are lucky to have a team to watch this coming season. It has been pointed out time and time again that the new BOM are running the club in a new and somewhat novel way. ie it has to run on a strong and sound financial base. To do this I accept I'll have to pay for it and will do so without complaint.

Keep up the excellent work Andy, nobody can predict the future but Im sure most of us will agree that Leigh Centurions are in a far better position now than earlier in the year, a new BOM has seen to that.

£16/18 to watch a friendly is too dear but if the the 4 games/3 games offer was open to everybody then it wouldn't have been as much as an issue as people would have the opportunity to get the tickets at a cheaper price.

What he said.

I (and I suspect many others) did not buy my season ticket anticipating getting generous discounts off the ticket price of the pre-season games. I would sooner this pricing structure be available to everyone wishing to attend the games, and I fear the ticket price may prove proscriptive to non ST holders!!

With W*gan's previous track record when it comes to the strength of the team they send, you can see why many may not be convinced to part with 16/18 quid to watch us put 30/40 up their kids team.....with maybe 150 'hard-core' pie fans 'packing out' the South stand!!!
