As poll-creator-in-chief Jonny hasn't got to it already, thought I'd stick this on to see what sort of numbers we're looking at for those joining the Touchdown Club that was announced tonight - I know forms were given out at the meeting but not everyone was able to get hold of a pen!

Just an outline for what you get;
Bronze Package - £20 per month or £220 per year
Season ticket, online monthly newsletter, discount on match DVD's, two entries in to monthly draw, free stadium tour, entry to players/coaches/officials social night (2 per year), free entry to one friendly (if payment is made by 30/11/2011)

Silver Package - £30 per month or £330 per year
Season ticket, online monthly newsletter, discount on match DVD's, [ithree[/i entries in to monthly draw, free stadium tour, entry to players/coaches/officials social night (2 per year), free entry to one friendly (if payment is made by 30/11/2011), text on matchday with team sheet, matchday programme (email version), members shirt, £5 LISA membership

Gold (Corporate) Package - £50 per month or £550 per year
Corporate season ticket (£25 per month for any extra ST's), framed signed members shirt, match day programme (presumably in print rather than email), invite to enjoy hospitality/buffet lunch before each home game, priority seating in West Stand or seat in a box, matchday advert on big screen




When considering taking the Bronze package and a LISA membership would be £25 to begin with, I would like to think that a lot of people will go for the Silver package for what is effectively only another a fiver each month - pretty sure that's the option I'll be going for anyroad.

I'm already a LISA member so it'll be bronze for me. I'm not rolling in it as some people would believe

I cannot commit to the scheme for the same reason i cannot get a season ticket, shift work, sorry.

Silver for myself, and definately 2 others I was with tonight.

Fair play Ian, though even with the amount of home games you miss it still might be worthwhile getting a basic season ticket if it saves you cash in the long run?

Trouble is Matt, knowing what my shift pattern is for next year.

Must admit I'd be looking to change the amount of my existing membership as a result of it being included in the package (LISA would still be getting the same amount from me btw).

Bronze for me, for my sins I support another cash strapped football team that I pay into a supporters share scheme so cant afford no higher package!!

Concessions? People who are currently paying more than £5 to LISA? Concessions who are currently paying more than £5 to LISA?

Dont forget, this money is collected MONTHLY by direct debit.

The money is then put into the club every month which makes sure there is a steady income rather than taking season ticket money in December and spending it by April. It's linked with LISA to help bounce off each other and also work together with them and the brilliant eforts they make.

But more importantly, the FANS own the Touchdown Club and for every £20k profit a share within Leigh Centurions is allocated to it.

The fans will also nominate and elect an individual to sit on the Board of Directors once a year.

Its a way of the fans owning part of the club and having a say in how its run.

The more successful it is, the bigger ownership and say it will have in the club. Simple as that.

LISA will also get the same benefits too, so theres a package for everyone really whether you can afford a fiver a month or £50 a month, LISA btw have plenty of £10, £15 and £20 a month members and even £30 a month members also.

Plenty of decent offers for everyone.

People can continue to support LISA, the two schemes are not trying to compete for the same pound coin because it all ends up in the same pot anyway.

It was important to link with LISA for this very reason, the TC does not want to dilute LISA membership, it wants to help boost it which is why the Silver package gives membership to LISA. £5 of that package goes straight to LISA for their funds.

Between the two it also gives everyone a range of choices depending on what they can afford becuase a quid a week from a student is just as important as a tenner a week from a local business.

It's not an obligation Ian, circumstance comes first. We all know you're a proper Leyther.
