Quote ="leyther1"What about playing a number of Leigh & Swinton games as double-headers and selling tickets for individual matches only or a few quid extra for both. Tickets for both games in specific sections of the main stand so that other areas can be cleared out between games as normal, and takeup of the offer can be monitored from the ticketing. Swinton fans would already be travelling for their own game so would just have to decide whether to stay (or arrive early, whichever) for the Leigh game when they buy tickets.
I'm sure we could find a way of sharing facilities in the main stand to make it work (maybe corporate tickets sold to both clubs & get both games thrown in anyway, or if both clubs insist on their own corporate tickets, bars etc for entertaining Leigh could get use of the upstairs bar & Swinton the Legends bar or something). I'm sure by doing that you could cut down on the overheads for both clubs if you assume it's probably cheaper to keep already open bar/stand/catering facilities open for 3 or 4 more hours than to open & staff them twice on 2 separate days.
Should add that the double-header tickets would represent better VFM to a neutral or to those who complain about admission prices of champioship games and could therefore use it as an offer to try and attract neutrals, new fans or lapsed fans through the gates depending on where & how you pitch it.'"
There's real money to be saved/made in this.
Unfortunately, I can't see it happening
