It doesn't bring anything in in £££'s, nor does it cost the club a penny. It was never intended to bring money in, that's not what it's there for.

If it brings in nowt and it could cost us money at the gate, so must be scrapped as we aren't a charity.
The other option is to charge for it, in which case keep it for the out of towners and away fans for say £10 a game.

Tenner a game!!

If you can find me 5 people who haven't come to the game because it's on the radio I promise you we'll pack it in.

If you can show me £5000 a year of income I would support it 100%

It depends on how you can quantify the sponsorship we are attracting. Is some of it because of the exposure being offered, on the radio? (for example, are some of our exiled Leythers in Australia/Canada sponsoring us now?)Are some folks now attending because of what they have heard on a broadcast?

It's all part of putting the club's name out there, and should be marketed as such - as with the programme, media, websites, and PPV TV.

I can't believe fans are staying away, to listen to t'wireless.

I listen to it at work if I can't make the games. I reckon that's the kind of thing it's there for?

We appreciate it anyway.

It's never going to bring in £5000 a year, nor is it ever going to cost the club a penny so I guess I'll just have to live without your support.

However, if the majority of supporters think the way you do then I guess we will stop the broadcasts. I'm past caring TBH.

Why not have a POLL to save on the hassle .

OMG this forum is getting worse.
I can't believe some of the brown stuff plopping about on here

Agreed.

Biggest game for a long while and everyone scrapping with each other and whinging.
Let's knock on the head and support the lads

Bang on Lynda.





I can't wait for friday.

A drinky, a sing, mates, RL, watch the best player in the country at the moment, we might get beat but i'll enjoy it either way.

Biggest game attendance/financially since Blackpool?

The honest answer is no one has ever stayed away to purposely listen to Leighlife radio IMO

If anything it could be argued the service helps to keep the interest alive for supporters who could not make the game(s) [iregardless[/i of it being broadcast or not.

A fantastic match broadcast on the radio would only serve to encourage supporters to attend the next one in person and sample it 'live' for me.

It great for people who are on holiday or live further away, ps any chance of broadcasting from York pretty please!
