I don't wish to be negative, but just realistic. I really can't see us increasing the crowds more as things stand. The team couldn't be much more successful than it has been this season. Top of the League, almost certainly in the NR Cup Final, ran catalans very close in the cup. We start off the season with the NR Cup which is of no interest to anyone until at least the QF stage. Thrilling early round games against Swinton etc. are not going to bring the crowds back. Then with no promotion the league and the play offs don't really mean much. If we get to the GF we then meet the criteria, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. There must have been 6000 Leigh fans at Widnes when we beat Whitehaven to get into SL. We could get back to that level of support, but not with the current RL set up. Most of that is outside of our control unfortunately.

we wont get anywhere near 6000 unless we are in SL, i think we could aim for 2500-3000 though. If we do get to blackpool then i would be happy with 3000- 3500 leythers there.

I do agree about the P&R it will almsot kill everybodys crowds, For example Leigh v Widnes grand final and we but 50+ on them yet their fans still celebrate at the end because they already are in SL

I don't think we'll get 2500-3000 Leigh fans on a regular basis the ways things stand. I would hope for 3000 for the NR Cup Final, especially if it's a nice weekend weather wise. If we do get 3000 it will at least prove the market is there. They just need to be provided with a product they thing is worth watching.

if (we cant under estimate dewsbury)we get to the final theres a big chance to get the fans on board.if we can win it and win it well would be interesting if we say take 3000-3500 to the final how many show up to the next home league game.
gotta paint the town red and white and like said before on here get it noticed in shops and pubs etc.ask town centre shops or get a roll on stall on market selling banners and flags etc
we just gotta make sure we are not over confident on sunday.

upto the current date, apart from the last few games we have played some fantastic rugby! well worthy of 2500-3000 fans!

car flags and stuff is a great idea, sell them for the final (if we get there) Then next year have them half price when a season ticket is purchased or something along them lines

Exactly.

If you are accepting that we will never draw more than 2,500/3,000 in the Championships then you are also accepting we are not and never will be a viable SL club

Simple as

Nobody is accepting that.

Every journey starts with that first step.

We have a great coach a good side playing attractive RL and excellent facilities.

There is a tipping point I feel and if we qualify for the NRC Final who knows ?

if we win the final more fans will come! them bandwaggon ones will return

For one game

Yes they are frank

TBH it's going to be very hard to attract more than 3000 fans in this league unless we spend a shed load of money advertising and reducing ticket prices (but it's something we can't afford to do)

No , that isn't what you do , but either way if you accept we will never draw any more fans then we are a Championship/1 club and will remain so forever

ok, how would you increase the gates? a decent priced family ticket? or would you use the 'skull dragging' technique?

Do you own a car ?

Did you buy it without driving it , or one like it first ?

How many people in the borough [ pop around 60,000 ] have never set foot inside the LSV ?
