Do we really think LSV will allow this, surely they'll want to relay the pitch after that many games

wath brow it is then, a tripple header on the same day, or on consecutive days would be great, but can't imagine the pitch would stand up to it, and also the cost of hiring the ground would be high, not sure if semi pro clubs get any help in that direction, maybe mr chairman may know, it would be a shame if the leigh lads had to go out of town to play it.

Why wouldn't the pitch be able to host 3 games in succession - they are games of rugby league not tractor racing!!! If the pitch is as good as everyone says and we don't have monsoon conditions before and during then it should be fine!

This triple header sounds a good idea but us alcoholics who like a pint of real ale would have had the shakes a long time before the last match had finished.

Then you have to consider the smokers. For them it would be like being on a flight from Manchester to JFK without any complimentary drinks.

No. You selfish health posters never consider the implications for the vast majority of Leigh rugby fans.

No wonder our society is broken when selfish teatotallers insist on imposing their ideas on the majority.

It is symptomatic of what is wrong with this country sadly.

it didnt look too clever last week, then there are two games in two days next week, blurry fussball ruining the playing surface

From Centurions point of view it could need some working out Keith , dont forget that this round of the Challenge cup is included in the season ticket , that also affects both Haven and Hunslet as well , if it can happen , then surely all effort must be made to make it happen , I would suggest that EMC need to be included in discussions as they could see a tidy profit from it

Surely too expensive , 3 lots of everything

would that be the very same LSV thats supposed to be for the Leigh COMMUNITY to use?

based in the borough should have the opportunity to play at the LSV , and this is the perfect opportunity , as for the pitch , it should be able to stand it , a quick rolling between matches would sort it out

Quite right Wayne and Steve.

I was at the Halliwell Jones at the end of last season and there where 3 games then. I missed the first because of someone wanting a few pints.

No reponse needed Steve.

Wayne is bang on if the LSV is a community facility it should be used as such. The council tax payers have paid for it and I know there are running costs but the people running the facility should use their imagination to make the triple header a possibility and a profitable day..

Wath Brow v Leigh and nothing else will attract 1200 at best.The 3 Leigh clubs and their opponents could thrash out an agreement re gate receipts.

The Catering company could put real ale on for the afternoon and sell pasties at a price where a lot of folk might buy them.

The three away teams would probably bring upto 1000 in total and some would come for one game, some for two and a minority for three. The season ticket aspect wouldn't bring in any income but would the 'triple header' attract the locals, used to paying £1 or £2, to pay £7 or £14.
I would happily pay for a never to be repeated day but am I in the minority?

that was in the summer Frank not this time of year. Looking at the state of the pitch on Sunday id say it wouldnt take it if it was a wet day

Mid-October is hardly summer!!



Unless your in Tenerfie!!

Twas a sight warmer and drier than now though (even in Teneriffe)

and the 4th is hardly Mid-October

Lets be honest a triple header would not get any extra on

To be honest like most folk I have no interest in leigh easts or the miners

To be truthful the games against the amateurs draws the smallest crowds of the year and have the worst effect for the game,pro clubs goes through motions and wins and the amatuers come head hunting

Most folk have no interest in Leigh Centurions, a fact proven by the attendances.

that could be changed to Rugby League, the whole of the game is run down.

Your reply backs it up....if not many turn up for the pros why should thousands who don't even know the result let alone what colours the amatuer club play in, turn up????

If both East and Miners play the games at the LSV the attendance could well be good if they give away tickets to all the junior members and discount the adults with a free kids ticket, i dont normally advocate for free tickets but for a one off especially with some incentive to go to the Centurions game as well, the East Stand would look and sound great with hundreds of kids and the parents in there.
Both clubs advertise themselves as family clubs so give the 'families' a day out.

Those clubs will probably have more members between them, than watched Leigh last week-end, and I'd take a guess that either of them have more members than LISA.

Were would the pro clubs get its players from without such great amateur clubs?
