taken off facebook via twitter

good offer, we just need to get some posters in high schools and primary schools now

Yep 4 days to sell a great offer? Is it one off?? Please sell parent/child tickets in advance at £15/16 North or West for every game!!!!

If bought in advance would this work out at £30 for two adults and two children in the north stand?

what is the age limit for the kids?

I think its parents or other guardians who need convincing that this is a good initiative,its them that will be paying

Age limit will be 16 and the club will more than likely run this for more than 1 game. Less than 50 kids on match day so this is the area we need to push at.

Not necessarily . If we target the high schools kids will come with their mates . Its how I started off, quid a kid with my brother . It's how leyther Matt and his brother started .
Massive step in the right direction

So they dont need to be with an adult?

thats what i presumed ...

i'll ask leigh centurions via twitter

Disaster if without parent.
Should be 11 and under with parent.

The email i just got from the clubs says fetch a kid for a quid

Not sure - all I Know is your (much) too old j.c





Good offer though

Nice one pal

Hey wot you doing on the computer - it's sunny out there and grass needs cutting

Don't think so Maurice. Virtually all of the 20-30 year olds I know who attend games ALL started as unaccompanied quid a kids in the late 90's and early 2000's. If they had to attend with a parent then I know for sure I wouldn't have come anywhere near as regularly, if at all, as my parents have no interest in rugby and were/are actively involved in a local church which means they wouldn't be able to take us regularly.

The take up on previous 'accompanied kids' has been poor so I'd say this is a case of making it as easy as possible for kids to start attending games - surely this can only be a good thing?

My van is loaded mate but i'm Still suffering from london,i don't recover as quickly as i used to

if this offer is extended for more than one match all it will probably ensure is that all those who have bought kids season tickets for their kids and grandkid,s this season,wont bother doing it again next season ,yet another one doomed to fail.

I believe there's in the region of forty (yes, forty) kids season tickets this season. I'm one of those who has purchased one and I can tell you now that I won't mind one jot about this offer - what you also have to remember is that the season tickets get free entry at away games, which the 'Quid Kids' won't be entitled to. As it is, I'm sure the club will be happy to speak to anyone who has bought a season ticket and feels ripped off by the new offer.

Matt, what seasons were kid for a quid back then, I recall a fantastic take up of the £10 season ticket for u16's in 2000ish - which I would do again btw ie £20 under 16 ST with photo ID. If you pay your money upfront you will be a fan, letting Chavs in for a quid will put full paying adults off, I am one of those btw whose worse nightmare is being in the middle of a bunch of pubescent teenagers ffin n jeffin at all and sundry with family's nearby

Agree, I started with my dad when I was about 7 but a few years later I didn't want to be with adults.

Don't we have stewards?

Rumour has it not all kids are Chav’s,



Nice to see the club targeting the youngsters, would have liked them to be given their own stand, so that the miserable ‘old farts’

don’t spoil their enjoyment.

Stick them all in one stand otherwise like Mo said.

For decks sake, the club try something else and lo and behold along come the same old people to also it down.

Trevor.....just fold the club up. Biggest loser you'll ever take on. Too many people trying to scupper success

I am all for kids for a quid with Adult, and for cheap u16's season tickets - I aint for U16's for a quid unaccompanied. If we have 50 now paying £8 we need 400 to pay a quid to break even, if not more.

I am still awaiting Matts reply, and I know all kids aint Chavs - my kids started with ST's going with Grandad and Me, I would guess most started in a similar way although not all.

The age range is 12 and under, they have to be accomponied by an adult!

the club will be looking at more initatives in April, but schools will be targeted so we can actually advertise it properly.

IMO we should target high schools, £1 a kid and you can enter the grounds with out supervision of an adult. we should also have school competitions, design our next poster (winning poster gets printed/ school win a framed poster) ect ect

if we make the schools feel involved, kids will come
