Well naturally I will be at them all.

Expect our home winning run against the Pies to continue of course.

So essentially the club is descriminating against non season ticket holders?

Don't be so soft.

A few questions here;

I know quite a few fans how havent committed to season tickets as their circumstances don't make it valid , but will be coming to all the games they can attend, so why are they not allowed to take up the offer on the friendlies?

my next one is re -The new marketing director, what work is she doing currently to get more fans coming to the games. I know the club want more season ticket holders but you can be a fan and not be a season ticket holder, sometimes it just isn't an option for some FANS. Because with the annoucement of the return of P and R we need to increase our fan base, as thats all thats holding us back all IMHO only of course.

Understand your point Steve.

But it's a glass half empty view in my opinion and we hope the majority can see the efforts being made here and adopt the glass half full way of viewing it and the way I feel most will and should view it is that we are not only rewarding the people who have backed us by buying a season ticket but adding further value to a season ticket and hopefully tempting those who may still be undecided about having one.

We've delivered a great new exciting additions to the squad (with more yet to come) and some great fixtures to wet the appetite and assurances have been given about the competitiveness of the fixtures and each game has been looked at and priced competitively on merit to offer what we believe is value for money.

Hope you join us mate

Who is your ' majority ' ?

Answer to question A is a commercial decision has been made as a majority agreement by the board and that is to reward the people first and foremost who have shown faith in us by purchasing a ST. I'm entitled to enter every game free as a Director but will buy a ST and I know others that will miss games maybe as many as half the games but are backing the club by purchasing a ST anyway so we we feel it right to competitively price each game for everyone but offer our loyal ST holders that bit more.

Answer to Question B is you would need to address any commercial/ marketing specific questions to Julia herself who I'm sure Rob will be only to delighted to pass on her contact details if you wish to know what she is doing.

Cheers

Andy

Everyone including Wigan, Salford, Wales and Warrington fans.

In the story Derek Beaumont talks about a trip to Halifax. Does he mean the first team or the U20's?

Every club offers incentives and deals exclusive to season ticket holders, complete non issue Steve.

First team mate last hit out before Batley and shared gate so let's get over their in numbers!!!

Nail on head Squire.

So existing RL fans, not the 50 odd thousand in the town who arent RL fans?

Its a cracking deal, so why only ST holders? , you are giving a good deal to 1% of the population of the town,that isnt the majority, IMO

Chip on your shoulder much Steve?

Remember two years ago when this forum was full of complaints that there was no benefit to buying a season ticket? Can't win.

The benifit of buying a ST is a financial saving over a season, that hasnt changed in decades

Once again people are taking their and my views personally, I'll leave it alone

Season tickets are great they give the club much needed income, inthe months leading up to the start of the season, when there is no other income.
As I said sometimes a true fan cant commit to one through no fault of his/ her own that doesnt
make them less of a fan again IMHO .
I get a season ticket every year before anyone has a go.


To make the cut and get where we want to be we will need all types of "fans" am I right or wrong?

All the season tickets holders will be going to these games anyway .

Times change and consumers expect more Steve, for example here is what some clubs with high number of ST sales offer which I have quickly lifted from their websites-

[uWarrington[/u
-10% discount in club shop
-Priority booking for Play-off and Challenge Cup Tickets
-Free entrance to all home Academy league fixtures
-Kid for or a fiver/Friend for a tenner ticket deal
-Various offers with club partners/sponsors

[uWigan[/u
-Store discounts
-WWRLTV subscription
-Priority purchase
-Travel discount

[uHull FC[/u
-Receive exclusive discounts and offers with ClubHull at leading retailers and food outlets across the region, with new additions including Frankie and Benny’s, Burger King
-Gain FREE entry to all pass holders events and get your chance to meet the first team squad throughout 2014
-Pass Holders bar et al.

Even though p&r will probably return in some form....nothing official yet is there?

Last post on the subject to you GO

Leigh dont have a high nmber of ST holders, Leigh dont have a high number of fans

None of those highlighted benifits are futher discounted tickets to 1 st team games

Many people ( not current Leigh fans ) have just seen an essentially full LSV at the WC game, there are a couple of opportunities to replicate that atmosphere at these friendley games, the offers are very good, but I just cannot understand why you would deny 99% of your potential fan base the best financial deal to sample it again

Now if that makes me negative, or a chip on shoulder, or a glass half full person? , fair enough, no agenda's, no point scoring, just plain common sense

I hope to make 1 of them, not sure which one yet ,if they let me in, that is

Leeds offer "Discounts on Non Super League Games where applicable" and I am sure we will both agree that they are certainly the club leading the way from a commercial point of view. I can understand your argument but equally I can see why Leigh have decided to go down this route, it is all about converting prospects.

I am firmly in the Starbug camp on this one; GO, how are you converting prospects with this offer ST holders are hardly prospects. Four friendly games in a short space of time but no incentive for a prospective fan to have a cheap peek but ST holders get a loyalty bonus. Very poor.

Prospects being those who are unsure on whether or not to bother with a ST this year. Happy to be proven wrong and like I say I can understand Steve's argument.
