We could do with more than a couple of crowds like this next season.

Similar marketing assistance would be a start. Let's not forget that, even with a crowd like tonight, I'm sure the gate receipts won't be too dis-similar to your average Leigh RL game.

That does take the mick though........... How many actually paid ?.

Top price was £4 for adults and tons of freebies by all accounts so I've no doubt at all that we'd provide gate receipts at least on a par with t'Roverrrs, which begs the question as to why, in my view, t'Roverrrs seem to get preferential treatment and a greater degree of assistance from the powers that be?

It also highlights how many clowns would pay (debatable) to watch a towns reserves who are 30+ miles and no historical links to or town.

This is a good point, not many paid from what I can gather. If only the LSV had been as helpful to Leigh Genesis too eh and as you say pushed the other games the same.

Still not a bad game, I'll probably look at going again when Liverpool are in town. Yes I was one of the clowns!

It sure beat putting together a chest of drawers!

Someone at the top table is doing tricks.........

Long since accepted that our face didn't fit with the place and, to be quite honest, rather happy with how things are turning out up at Crilly. I think LGFC's situation with the LSV should certainly be taken as a warning from Leigh RL's point of view though and I see no reason whatsoever why Leigh RL and t'Roverrrs can't be offered at least a level pegging in terms of advertising 'spend'.

I`d much prefer the latter................What I can`t get is a team who are 30+ miles away and no links...........Bolton,City, Utd I could understand but Blackburn .........

I did n`t know the opposition but now it makes sense for BR to play at the LSV , given the locality of the LSV to at least 6 or 7 other Premiership sides.

I believe 3,000 kids tickets were given away, with about 2,400ish sold, then 3 Turnstiles were made into Cash turnstiles.
I am lead to believe that, BB pay a set fee, and the LSV can then do what they wish with any tickets, so as you can see, its a different Beast altogether in reference to them marketing the Centurions.

Was great to see LSV so full even though the football wasnt great. They gave around 1,500 free tickets too schools so more parents went. Ashame out rugby club cant have the same ambition trying to get people through the gates. We should of been doing that for the rugby and people would have 10 times the excitment if they went watchin the leythers!!
