DB did say there would be food available. Wether it is free is another question. If I still lived in Leigh I would definitely have a bit of it. The banquiting suite is a first class room for a drink before and after a game.

you also get pre and post match entertainment dont you?
I'm sure something along those lines was mentioned.

yes the pre match is a re-run of the previous weeks game, wonder if that means they will pay me to go to Tolouse this year? flock of pigs seen flying over Gilded Hollins, with a pre recorded interview with 'Basil' with his thoughts on the fixture of the day, that may or may not be in the Legends bar, but I'd doubt it, that will be for the £40'ers, sponsors and corporate users.
But I will try and clear that if anyone wishes.

Everyone has the option - you always have to pay for minor privelages otherwise it would just be like everyone going to the match with a ticket or a season ticket.

Personally it does not appeal to me but around 3 quid per game for this privelage (not having to sit or stand in the open stands) and with a bit of entertainment thrown in, I reckon its great value.

Was anything mentioned about admission to the legends bar? (sorry if this has been mentioned)

He has never carried a club himself--usually its the club that carries him. I hope he can reach some kind of decent level of performance--but not against us!!!

It was a good night.Well done to everyone who played a part.
Millward indicated beforehand he would be re-instating the post game events we had at HP.
Looks like thats not the case though.To be asked for another £40 is a bit silly.Pre match entertainment,relay of the last away game,the Millward interview, sound ideas if the set up is right and everyone can see and hear,
but has the penny still not dropped.
Season ticket leaflet said "offer" but no early bird, no link to shirts, no incentive for the friendlies.
Bradshaw told us sponsorship/lottery was up, feeling in the room was good, but they were preaching to the converted.
We need to look after the ones we have and maintain momentum to find some new ones.
So far as the squad goes we look short on numbers.From what IM said he clearly would have let some go had they not been on contract.Lets hope we can get enough game time from our experienced additions to make an impact.
Finally,somebody sort the ale out!! £6+ for two glasses of dishwater.

Put another way you can go into the Banqueting Suite, take in the interviews and previous action, then take a seat in one of the best grounds in RL watching Ian Millwards team play rugby as we know how it should be played, then go back into the Banqueting Suite for after match interviews, presentations, speak with the players, and enjoy other entertainment laid on.

All for around £13 a game and £3 for the under 11's.

....But unfortunately folk cant see past the "40 quid extra" - demics!!

Take your blinkers off and give it some thought.I know that will be difficult.
We live in difficult times and in a depressed area.Its not a social club for the sack cloth n ashes brigade, leyther til I die mob .We need them +3500.

Simple numbers game at the bottom line, more money we get more we have to invest.

A rugby town, well are we ?.We have lost generations of fans, our amateur teams are asking for players.Our own council, through lsv seem, if we believe all we hear, to continually want us to jump through hoops for any slight gain.

...and theres too many who want something for nothing.

It will sell out so the whingers wont have to worry about the £40

i think your right, for every one saying they wont pay there'll be three willing to pay to get that little "extra" match day experience

Do they offer 'extras' at LSV then? I didn't think it was that kind of place!!

I won't be paying for £40 extra.
The thing is, I'd be on my own. My 3 mates who get season tickets, said NO CHANCE. So I'll 'go with the flow', not a bad idea, as a lump sum seems a bit steep, but £ per game, not bad at all.

Its a good deal for those happy to pay , a bad un for those not willing to

In fairness it sounds a bargain when you word it like AlexDad did, a thought for next year - word it so it looks a bargain and we really might get a take on it.
However at least the club is starting to realise the finacial revenues it can tap into without even having to try to hard.

Still hoping the club realises it needs to do some sort of 'family deal' for 2010.
For example at Bury FC its 20quid pay on day , alternatively 16quid 1 adult 1 child family stand - a good deal (and i'll ignore the comments from Lether Matt etc in advance ) that is aimed at getting a few on the people interested in the club who will spend money in the future (lets be honest if you take a child to a match you usually end up paying for far more than just the admittance to the ground - programme, drink, something to eat , hat , scarf, posters etc etc all add to the clubs coffers)
