Presuming there is a negotiated deal with EMC for food every match and the money is taken from what the TC gold members pay...

I See it would be a good idea if LISA could have a similar set up for our members who go that bit further,or who would be willing to pay for this, I look into this. Thanks Danny

Oh no, hope this doesn't cause another divide

Don't think that is viable Lynda quite frankly.

The Touchdown Club has 70 ish members and space in the Banqueting suite is not always available. LISA has a membership of about 400 could you imagine if they all turned up.


This is the first time this season for all the Touchdown Club members it is not something that happens on every matchday.

As far as I'm aware, EMC no longer do the catering as their contract expired last month. The LSV are now do their own catering.

Obviously I am not sure of the cost for everyone in there but I paid £900+vat for the year and this includes 2 seats behind the dugouts at home games and a one course meal (hotpot/bacon butts/etc) pre match with a talk from Rowls etc... Also entitles me to discount on boxes and advert in the program on the TC page...

Even if LISA were to do something like this over 10 games the normal cost of hospitality is £360 there or there abouts which is substantially less than the £720 that the Touchdown Club members (gold) are paying (per 1 person for one course), the touchdown club is an easy way of local businesses putting money into the club. Giving another organisation a deal for less than the TC would be a bad move by SCL in my opinion because while both organisations have their advantages they both have substantially different costs associated with them.

You don't know who I contact for a VAT receipt for my booze do you? As Annette said to speak to the caterers

That would result in one less member.

All members are invited to join the Gold members in the Banqueting suite before the Hunslet game on Sunday.
As part of the packages offered all members are entitled to attend (free of charge) a TC social event.
As this is our first season this offer has evolved into a pre match meet in the Banqueting suite where (as he does with the Gold members) Paul Rowley will call in briefly, name the team and make himself available for a few short questions before returning to the team.
The members who take up the offer will also be treated to Lasagne.

Post match your ticket will still be valid for the speeches/presentations in the Banqueting suite.

Please note this is included in all Touchdown Club Packages however it is the members responsibility to collect/reserve a ticket from the ticket office before Thursday PM.

You put my favourite on at a match where I am away...

How come as a member of TC I haven't been informed of this? ,its leaving it a bit late to get tickets

It was in the newsletter sent out a fortnight ago

Was that sent out by email?

Well this is obviously teething probs, as I am also a TC member and knew nothing about this and haven't had a newsletter in fact thinking about it apart from receiving my season ticket had no contact at all from/about the TC. Not having a dig as I could have inquired as to why had no contact it just has never crossed my mind.

Yes mate, quite a few emails have been issued by them

i can only assume they haven't got my email address cos i didn't recieve the newsletter and iv'e had no dealing with them since i handed my money over at the ticket office,though they did take my details. Like the publican says though,early teething problem,no big deal I'm sure everything will be right next season.

Might be worthwhile emailing them with your email address to make sure.

I wasn't saying that we Lisa pay for this I was suggesting it s open as an option if a member wanted it.
Its a good idea for those wanting the corporate experiance, if there is any LISA members out there who want it of course.

Not sure if your aware DC but season ticket holders can upgrade to matchday hospitality for something like a tenner per game which is a bargain really.

Thats very reasonable.

Didn't get one .

Exactly the same with me ,lucky I know someone else who did get the newsletter and told me about it .

I'm a TDC member and havn't ever heard anything from them. I don't want to start having a pop because it was a scheme that was obviously rushed together, but I do think it would be a good idea for the club to ask TDC members to contact them with details so they don't disillusion anyone.

I recieved the said email no problem... For those who haven't received it, I would suggest emailing: touchdown@leighrl.co.uk.

Brilliant, cheers Dave.

I know the details of 3 other TD members that don't receive anything either so i'll add them in the email.
