Would have expected 2,000 as a bare minimum, personally. Not a bad turnover at an average of a tenner apiece.

What did we get on in our Swinton friendly, add 500 max and that's what we would have got against Salford

I think there were hugely exceptional circumstances at Swinton given the snowstorm that started a few hours before kick off. It took me more than 90 minutes to drive from Poolstock to the LSV.

Ste you are becoming over negative pal, enjoy the youngster.

Salford on the 30th would have hit 2500 with a full corporate and cost us £20k.

A gate of 2,000+, despite our poor crowds and yours to date. Obviously as it turned out Salford didn't

need their share of the gate, at the time!

A first in the Championship ?Are we signing fans on from other clubs ?

Well that could be a little part of it

£1 entry for all fans of any other club, we may get the missing 400 that way

Plus an extra £15 per game from our regulars, of course!

so when is the big announcement

soon

has anyone actually said it is going to be a BIG announcement?

Definitely not Fred. And, I've not yet seen an announcement about when THE announcement is going to be made!

Your son was building it up on twitter Fred. As in 'good times ahead for Leigh RLC'.

it may well be but did he announce it as BIG?

It may be big to some but not to others all will be revealed sometime in April.

here we go.....it will be 'nowt worth telling yer mate about'
is it 'Loaning' some fans to Salford ?
their radio advert on real radio for their next game says "the most ambitous club in SL" BUT with gates of 2100, maybe 900 Leythers added on, will not make the advertisement sound a little better.

Wait and see like I said could be big for some not for others people will have to make their minds up WHEN it is announced sometime in April, like I said we believe a first in the Championship.

We're playing monday mornings so we can get off work and first 100 hundred at the doctors surgery get free entry.

Or is it the Matrix thing Trevor mentioned at the LISA meeting!

we play first half on a friday and second half on a sunday

Whatever it is let's hope it bring in some new fans.

Actively promoting a game would help get fans, oh wait have we had the Journal yet this week????????

As the matrix tie up was announced at the LISA meeting it can't be that as per my last post on the subject.

Wasn't aware any other Championship Club used them to be honest.
