I must admit that a 2pm kick off a week on Monday is also news to me.

Surely the club will restore it to 3pm. With it being a bank holiday we may pull in a few additional fans after the FA Cup match has finished from people wishing to make it 'a full Easter Monday of sport'

IMO If the BOD are unable to recognise an affect on our attendance from a big live terrestial TV clash featuring Man United v Chelsea, then it really does not fill me with any confidence that they have the creativity, the vision and any forward planning to be able to tackle the attendance issue head on.

This is a joke! The way this club is being run and managed is it any wonder we are in the mess we are in.

I am sorry but if supporters and LISA keep pumping money into the club when TB gets his begging bowl out the board will keep making idiotic decisions like expleted in this thread, and the ones that got us in the mess in the first place!

As a club we need to get more professional to attract more fans for the benifit of Leigh Centurions. We cannot carry on thinking about other clubs and what they want. To maximise the attendance/revenue this game should be played at 3.00pm as orginally advertised.

Its no use one week asking for money from hard working fans and LISA then less than three weeks later do something like this.

I heard TB say he wanted to give players a weekend off, we changed the game against Sheffield to Friday because they did it to us and now this disaster, is it any wonder why we have lost so many fans, it goes from bad to worse.

This club has to be run as a professional organisation, as a business and to give its members ie supporters the best match day experience at the appropriate times.

I am sorry but like a lot of other fans I will be watching MUFC and if Leigh kick off at 2.00pm then I wont be going and I never miss a Leigh game. I have not bought a season ticket this year because of what happened last year with the Friday night fiasco and because I knew things like this would happen this season.

I was, along with my partner considering re joining LISA as we also came out of that last year. After this we certainly wont be because I feel it allows the club to continue making decisions like this, losing even more money like they will with the Workington game.

I am under no pretence if this carrys on the club will be back again in a month or two asking for the bank balance of LISA again!

Sorry I know a lot of people wont like this but its my opinion about a club I love dearly but never listens to its fans!

I know someone who comes to watch Leigh but is a Man United fan first so they won't be coming if it stays at 2pm kick off ,just wish they would think it through properly re the kick off times I thought it was 3pm up until the other day .

What I struggle to comprehend more than anything is that a good number of our supporters will have pre planned their Easter activities by checking the upcoming fixtures on the website and then pre planning accordingly.

Those of us who would have done that recently would have established that we played Monday at 3pm, Not many supporters would have then found it necessary to double check that information.

Attempting to change it to a 2pm KO 'under the radar' so to speak of loyal supporters makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

Not one of our group was actually aware the kick off had been changed to 2pm. If that is the case what are the chances that the wider community we are aiming to appeal to will? Even if some did (which is debatable) to then move the fixture into direct competition with Man Utd v Chelsea is crazy.

The ability of the club to continually aim shots down at it's feet lately without missing is staggering.

Maybe Workington asked for the change, when it was changed to 2 pm was before the united v Chelsea date was known , so not Leighs fault if so, perhaps we can request it going back to 3 maybe.
Then again you can't please all the people all the time.
We not just have a late turnstile for this one, as if whistling wren had game on you could watch united ko 12.30 then lea be straight after missing just 20 mins unless it goes to extra time.

Just found a fixture card for this year which I got some weeks ago and it does state a 2pm kick off for April 1st so it hasn't just been changed like I thought

And if there was in error, then an announcement to advise people that the game was advertised incorrectly on the official site should be made. Just in case people are not aware there was an error and still turn up expecting a 3pm KO


I still feel if we persevere with the clash with Manchester United then it will have a drastic affect on the attendance. Even regulars on here have stated they will be (or know of a regular who will be) who will now be watching Manchester Uniteds FA cup semi final instead.

Can see it now, 400 fans legging it from the Wren to catch the last 15mins of the first half of Leigh V Workington due to the massive importance of this fixture

I bet the board are not even aware of this concern!!!!! (well TB maybe).
It's so annoying when they drain LISA's funds then do something that could waste about £3K of the £15K we gave them (based on a couple of hundred 'lost' fans).

I do feel that I should stop my payment to LISA and have a another line on the lottery.

Problem solved
BBC are showing united game get it on in bars and. Under concourse, you could even delay ko off till 2.15!!!!!!
Fans can come in ground Leigh don't lose on attendance and lsv make money on the bars etc jobs a good un offers on beer etc jugs of ale let's make it a great day out !

Showing Fergies little overpaid darlings on tv in the Lsv would result in a late arrival from me.

Give fans no excuses though whether your a utd fan or not !

I would imagine that ITV will not be chuffed if the BBC are showing the game in bars.

Got it from BBC website it's miss leading I did originally think it was on itv
