I wonder if they will pay less than we do, or retain more income from Corporate Catering.

Welcome Swinton, may we help you along the way to your dream of returning home soon.

Wonder if we will be able to sit in our nominated seasts, for the 'away' fixture?

On a more serious note, it must be possible to develop some joint ticketing initiatives here. (i.e. Swinton would benefit from Leythers watching their home games, and vice versa)

We'll be in the South Stand for that one Alan!!





I think we should play the home/away games against The Lions as 'back to back' fixtures over Easter weekend........

Marketed properly by both clubs, it could be the nearest we get to a real 'money spinner' for the season.......unless we get home draw v Pies/Wire/Saints/Smogs in CC at some point after the 4th round!!!!

Fully agree on joint ticketing initiative.

That could be tasty!

What would we gain by having a joint ticket initiative with Swinton ?

we may get one or 2 awinton fans coming to our games, so we wouldnt really gain much IMO. They would be the ones that gain because most of the leythers are 2 mins away

, Bingo , sometimes people dont actually think things through , do they ?

What a joke this is. Effectively we now have to battle it out with Swinton for floating fans, sponsors all in a time when we need every penny!

COMPLETE AND UTTER JOKE

I dont really understand your anger Ste , I doubt any floating fans will go to watch them and I'd imagine their sponsorship will be locally ' Swinton ' based

If they aren still here in 2014 , then I'd start to get a little concerned

I thinks it a good move, yeah Leigh might not benefit from it but personally I really enjoy watching live games so if I'm not working with nothing to do I'll take a stroll down have a beer or 2 and watch a game. Nothing wrong with that is there?! It wont stop me purchasing my season ticket!!

Depends when they play Steve, they might attract floaters on a Fri who will then have spent their spare cash for the wk end!

beggers belief,everyday we hear the plight for the leigh survival campaign donate this,donate that,so surly any spare dosh should be going to our club and not to watch Swinton,and by the way how are Swinton affording playing at the LSV and pay the players based on a few hundred speccies?

Because they have someone with money behind them???

or do they no something we dont???

I think many folk in Leigh won't be appearing on University Challenge any time soon but I think it's fair to say they've got enough about them to realise that, should they be so strapped for cash, they will save their money to watch Leigh on the Sunday rather than going to watch Swinton on the Friday because the money is burning a hole in their pocket.

I agree with Matt.

Should Swinton play their home games on the Friday I will go' after all they are my second team.

For the bigger games. We could do what batley did last year against the catalans. Obviously you have to show a season ticket and you get dumped in west stand or east stand

Say Leigh s/t holders in for a fiver (for example) to Swinton 'home' games, and Swinton s/t holders in for a fiver at Leigh games? That could amount to moneies that neither club would otherwise get.

And by the same logic, none of us will be going to watch England v Wales, at our stadium, will we?

Good bye Swinton, you'll not survive this move.

Why?

Swinton fans have been nomads for 20 years, this is no big deal for them!

Also, their stay might not be as long as some expect if their ground starts to be built soon.
