| Steve, read the posts first before you start adding emoticons that depicts your frustration. The wording I used was Running costs not just "printing costs". I am aware that this would be a drop in the ocean. You are a business man with business sense you have heard of the word consolidation. Also Flow Down in business terms is an Acheiveable goal that is reached through collating either cost savings or cost benefits over the course of a business year no matter how small. Look at the whole picture and think outside the box.

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 |

Free kids tickets only , or invite a complete School , kids , parents , siblings , teachers , teachers partners
The East stand holds 3,000 people , it splits down the middle , invite 1,200 from a school into it , invite a different school to every game , put free coaches on for the away club , actually go and challenge them to bring all their home support , put them in the south stand
Get 4,000 people in the stadium to start with , explain to your existing fan base what you are doing and why , discourage abuse of free tickets by not having alcohol served in the family stand , no entry unless accompanied by a child
After 4 matches follow up all who have been invited with a cheap match family ticket to game no 5 , all the while telling EMC , the catering company that you want them to do a special kids deal of hot dog,cone of chips and carton of pop for 2 quid
It's no good giving out free tickets willy nilly that will find their hands into fans that already come , and you don't want anybody getting more than one free ticket a year

Apologies , I am just getting fed up of badly Ill thought out suggestions , unfortunatly the club has no control over the massive waste that takes place at the LSV , it is a council run facility , they don't have a good record of efficiency do they ?
The club will be looking at cost cutting , but the real problem lies on the other side of the coin , income stream , we have very little true income streams available to us any more , the only sizeable one is fans through the gates , that has to be the main focus

How would the price of a fan being brought to the club free of charge compare to the price of the ticket when they get here?

Why did I suggest it ?
To make extra money ? , possibly , but not the main one
To improve the atmosphere at the LSV , so that the extra 1,200 people you have invited enjoy the experience more
If the cost of the coach seat is half of the ticket price you need to double the number that would have come anyway
Only by asking questions of yourself as to why do people attend live sport events will you find the answers to increasing our attendances

Not upset at all , we all want our club to prosper , however more importantly is making the club attractive to any possible investors , and extra financial support from the fan base would help with that

Sorry Steve i didnt make myself quite clear then, i actually agree with what you have said and i have also made this suggestion previously but on a larger scale including all championship clubs.
So bringing someone to the club for free and then making say £7 on each of those supporters is a no brainer really? Its £7 you would not have had in the bank plus as you say it will raise the atmospere in the ground to attract more 'Home' Support.

I have been suggesting this to the club even before we entered the LSV , why haven't they done it ? , basically they are too scared it might cost them a couple of hundred quid ,
Halifax did consider it for our visit to them
We did it for the Widnes NRC game and 8 coaches came ( 4 paid for by Leigh and 4 paid for by Widnes ) so probably around 300 extra fans attended that game , it was a no brainer as we had £ 1,000 to spend from SKY , and it was a split gate meaning Widnes got their money back as well

Maybe put your suggestion forward again? maybe Trevor would be interested to hear this idea?
I think this should be atleast trialed insted of swept under the carpet.

The ideas all need to be used together , it is no good just doing the away fans one week , or the school in the east stand another week , or one of several others ideas another week , it all needs to be done week on week on week , it will cost money , it will need somebody to organize it , somebody to oversee it , it needs a dedicated budget from day one , then it all needs to be assessed , it is a continuos process running alongside the running of the club , in cooperation with the community dept

| admittedly this is not a short term fix. but may be useful for attracting those fans who find ticket prices a bit steep. has anyone considered a leigh version of our Viking Stronghold? just floating ideas. i dont want the lobby to to go away
