..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



I'll see who else we sign etc and I might get a season ticket if they're attractively priced.

Our NRC games might be good next season because we'll likely be playing two teams from the league above us in our group. Anyone getting paired with us won't be happy I'd imagine.

[quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif

Agreed. A presence in the town centre is an absolute must now whether it's a stall on the market or the hire of a shop for the season... they've got to do something.

The O'Neills place closed 3 or 4 months back now and they've done nothing to address the situation. Player and coaching appearance in the town centre sould attract interest also.

NRC CHAMPIONS 2011 & 2013:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32679.jpg



The shop should have been in the town centre from the start in a good spot....... people didnt want to be walking to the LSV on a weekday to have a look in the shop/buy merchandise etc.
The match tickets could also be sold in a club shop on weekdays and use the LSV ticket office on match days only.
Think the club/O`Neills should of realised that they were gona get ripped off for rent by the LSV....... having the shop there was a huge mistake.

Get the shop sorted..... sort ticket prices out and get some good advertising going and the club will reap the benefits in the long run.

Was speaking to one our players tonight and he said himself (unpromoted, I must add) that even he wouldn't pay £16 to see us in the Championship.

£11 terracing and £13 seating sounds fair to me next season, though as a season ticket holder it doesn't make much difference to me.

I spent the early afternoon in the Goose racking up my season's expenses, not good.... icon_eek.gif

What the club needs to do start preparing on two levels now.

Level 1 - the club. Everyone knows that we need to be the best side that C1 has ever seen. Players need to know this and they need to build a winning mentality. Teams that know how to win do win. Get it right behind the scenes Basil must have complete control.

Level 2 - the fans. It is inevitable that some will leave. What the club must do is make the product so attractive and attractively priced that people think twice before throwing in the towel. This must start NOW. Tell us things that will excite us and bring us in, assure us that the big signings are still coming and more will follow. Give Leigh some buzz again after a season of complete apathy.

Played the right way relegation may not be the end of the world.

Here comes the chicken and egg scenario again. The old question of. Where does the rent money come from if you drop your prices and the attendances also drop? It can't make ecconomic sense. I only hope the club have already started negotiations with the LSV for this. Something has to give now for all these ideas to work. The best would be for the LSV to reduce the clubs rent for a season in the hope that we do go up and attract bigger crowds. A better season ticket package is a must to get a good lump into the bank well before xmas. Dont do it when people are skint. I affraid we are going to have to go cap in hand to WMBC for help on this one. I would also be looking for sponsors now to sponsor free match day buses to the ground. Get someone working routes and time tables out now. The free coaches to Gateshead worked. The club shop could still have a chance at the LSV (even if its in a tent) but only on match days with another in the town centre open in the week.

I always get the impression we fear the speculate to accumalate regarding pricing. The ST initiative was typical really of a half hearted attempt to try something new but not think it through. The whole thing just got confusing in the end.
I know its chicken and the egg situation regarding where shortfall is madeup if tickets don't sell in big enough numbers if prices are cut, but some kind of risk needs to be taken.
LSV and the club need to sort a mutual solution. I remember Simon Toone (is that his name?) stating that its in their interest for the Rugby and football clubs to fill the stadium. More people in the stadium and more expensive pints and pies they sell too.

It would be good for the club to get Robbie out and about Leigh when he comes ,if they do get premises in Leigh he could sell some merchandise on 1st day and sign them.

Even though I'm as peed off as I was last night, realistically we have always needed to plan for the next 5 years, top to bottom.

That will be a better grounding than having a boom season next year and then stamping our feet when the inevitable happens and we dont get a 2012 franchise.
