But have fax changed the way they do things or are they still just sitting back and hoping for the best, IE, if we keep playing well and winning trophies then they will eventually come back.

| Quote ="Faxhali"Alan, to say you were only communicating answers to questions asked i find your post confrontational this is'nt a Fax is better than Leigh post.
Leigh only had 48 hours notice that the pitch would be resufaced ?. hard to beleive or some serious communication problems somewhere between Council/LSV/Leigh
Yes Fax's fixtures took priority over the Shay, The shay is being resurfaced this year so we are playing 4 away games on the trot, not changing the dates. Fax have a ten year lease with the council for the stadium therfore HRLFC take priority over anybody borrowing the pitch, we share with FC Halifax town and although most supporters of each club dislike the other it works very well indeed.
Talking to the Employees is fine, Cowtailing to what they want is different, As for communicating with your fans, Did you not do that at the Fans forum and tell them sundays to only go and change it fridays ?. i believe that to be the case and i would be pretty peed off too as a supporter. I would have thought that season ticket sales would be a main priority to get the money in the pot so the club can reach its business plan as to not breach salary cap ( 30% of turnover IIRC ) and not get a points deduction again. Looking at the 25 pages of responses it appears to me that this has/will have a adverse effect on ST sales.
Take your Leigh head off and look at it from a outsiders pespective and you might see what i mean.'"
No intention of being confrontational, with you - especially a 'Fax supporter. The point I was labouring to make is that not everything is in our hands. A comparison might be that you are playing four consecutive away matches, because your pitch also requires attention. (Footballers ripping it up, eh? ) However, 'Fax wouldn't have consulted the fans about how happy they are about four consecutive away games
If you backtrack over admittedly a heck of a lot of posts, you will see that Leigh had 48 hours to make a decision for the RFL. We always knew the pitch was to be re-done, but up to last Tuesday, assumed our wish to play on Sundays wasn't affected. That's why the Forum was told we would be playing on Sundays. (Premier Sports permitting)We had until the Thursday, to come up with alternative dates for the clashes. (i.e Tuesday to Thursday was the 48 hours I referred to)
You are right - s/t sales will probably be adversely affected - that was always going to happen, because prices were increased, for the first time in a number of years. I sympathise with fans who can't make Fridays. I also prefer Sundays, but am lucky enough to be able to make Fridays too. For the record, I detest travelling over the M62 in the evening, but I'll still be at the Shay on the Thursday evening, because it's always a cracking game.
As for taking my Leigh head off, no apologies there - it's Leigh's problem, and that's what is being discussed.

No alarmist, no spin just facts !!

| You are comparing an early bird offer with a full price ticket. The prices you use are factual yes, but your comparison is an attempt to cause trouble and is a nonsense.

Not forgetting that the club did not increase the ST price in 2011 in line with the increase in VAT , only a small difference , but still there
Either way , any business sets its prices , people either purchase the product at the price quoted , or dont

Don't forget, the 'corporate' people we refer to, are fans too.'"
Thanks for the reply Alan, but come on some of these 'issues' were always going to be present,
New pitch would have been planned.
Swinton playing at LSV potential fixture clash
Players have other proper jobs so would always want week-ends off , don't we all?
If Fridays better for corporate then it should have been planned and explained, and every Friday
The 'it allows players longer to recover Friday 'til Sunday' is ok but what about when its Sunday 'til Friday
But we are now were we are, we've had our whinge, lets hope we learn from it, its now time to move on and support the club.

I have no intention of causing trouble pipe down will you. Oh yes after spending several thousands of pounds helping the club in the last few years yes I'd like to cause trouble.
Early bird offer do me a favour we didn't sell a single ticket after that early bird offer ended!
Simple facts once again the price of a single adult season ticket for the west stand is 55% more than last year!
Any how I'm more than happy with family ticket which represents a significant saving year on year!

| The Northern Rail game at Sheffield is going to be at Death Valley according to the Seagulls website. I'm sure that will be a delight to attend in February

| Can Mr Poll set up a poll? Not on the Friday/Sunday stuff, but on how far away fans travel from. This could have a big impact depending on how many live away from Leyth. E.g. for someone 1hr+ away Friday night is not so easy to get to if you work until 6pm......if it is only a small percentage then no probs, but what if 20% live away?

| The touchdown club have just posted on the other thread that they wasnt aware of the Friday night games. Strange one that, given they were selling season tickets as part of their packages, there will be a valid explanation I would think though.
