crazy idea why not have the west stand north as a double header £18 a ticket and then west stand south as single game £10 ticket??????

The west stand north could be left alone and then the west stand south cleared after the Swinton game to allow in the single game Leigh fans. Rocket science??

Both options then available to both sets of fans with very little admin! and as both parts of the stand are segregated should be easy to put into action or have I missed something

The only thing you have missed is the incompetence of the decision maker(s).

Are the Leigh Club aware of the strong feeling of the fans. They must be blind, deaf and dumb if they don't. I have spoken to many fans who are not going, its turning into a protest against the Club.
It only needed a bit of thought to administer 2 separate matches, after all one kicks off at 3, the other at 5-30pm. Leigh fans should have been charged say £10 (max) but could not enter the ground until 3pm. Swinton fans would also pay a tenner for their game and leave the ground by just before 5. (OK if someone hides in the toilet, so what, good on them) The £18 ticket would apply if fans wanted to watch two games - a discount of £2, how easy is that. An additional 600 fans would turn up with that system - as the meercat would say - "simple"

If that was the case, they'd see BOTH games!

What the club could do now (taking into account some tickets must have been sold) is say we are opening the north stand for the Leigh match only. £10 entry and this removes the need for people leaving the ground confusion. surely this must be a better option than fans boycotting the game because of an £18 entry fee even with the cost of opening an additional stand??

If it was a nice summer afternoon I wouldn't have any complaints, but I really can't be bothered with a four bus round trip to freeze my nackers off all afternoon, so N Wales v West Hull at Wilderspool for a fiver it is for me!

I agree . It's 4 home games in 16 days costing 70 pounds per person plus whatever they spend in the ground , a programme , a beer and a burger and a half time draw ticket , it works out at a dear do



Add all that to competing against other huge sporting attractions on at the same time , Man Utd in the cup on live freeview telly and the Grand National , and all this passes those that be by , Why ?

When are they going to play the white man with the Leigh public ? , it's the " Field of Dreams " syndrome with them still " If We Build It They Will Come "



Well obviously they're not !!

Obviously when I posted my last post I should have typed more carefully, I obviously intended to say that Leigh fans would not be admitted until 5pm (not 3pm) Im sure everyone understood what I was getting at.

At least no programme to spend money on for the East Leeds game!

I love how their is no OFFICIAL comment from the clubs, apart from "you can watch 2 fascinating games of rugby league for a bargain £18"....GET REAL !

Extract from the club's announcement

"The Board decided that a double header would provide an opportunity for fans to see 2 games for the price on one. In this economic climate there is very little opportunity for the clubs to give something back to the supporters. In normal circumstances the admission price has to be agreed with the opposing clubs as it is a shared gate. [uTherefore the idea of a double header arose as a way of doing something for the fans.[/u The gate receipt will not be shared equally Leigh and East Leeds will receive the same but Swinton and Toulouse will receive a reduced percentage to reflect attendances and to ensure their is parity between all four clubs."

Why don't the fans appreciate it has been done for their benefit? Because it is ?

The Board are so out of touch it is frightening.

Hiding in the Toilets



that could catch on

.

Tried to get 3 together in the stand and was unable to do so

Oh Maurice you are a laugh

Ive asked and you can turn up and just watch the one game,(ours) however it will cost you £18 which is the normal price for the West stand anyway. I think thats what Im doing as I dont feel up to bot games.

Normal price against Championship sides. Not against a Div 1 NCL side. It's a shame East and Miners are playing so far away, or else people could have at least gone and supported either of those teams.

I think everyone realised that.

Wigan v Leeds it's worth £18 any day. I know it's Wigan Reserves v East Leeds amateur team but you don't need to tell anybody that.

Whilst I agree a cock up has been made about tomorrow referring to Leigh Centurions as Wigan reserves is silly.

Not as silly as you and your hat :O) haha

Well im not going,over priced(match,drinks and food)

Still don't see it wysiwyg, thing you need to change your username.

A priceless post

RIGHT! That's the final straw - No programme

- No go - It's all your fault Alan

I am another who will not be paying an increased admission price for a Leigh vs amateur opposition that should be finished as a spectacle around the 30 minite mark.

I think £10 or £12 would be fair and I would have been in attendance. The club however instead of using the match as an opportunity to get people in and watching a Leigh match have instead decided to view it as a chance to rip our fans off, that's what disappoints me the most but I am becoming accustomed to the club letting us down of late.

I must have missed something here. Since when did Leigh supporters start watching Swinton en masse? So much so that the BOD have identified that we are paying far to much each week watching both clubs in these tough economic times? None of our group have shown any inclination of watching Swinton, I as a fellow Leigh supporter have no intention of watching Swinton either.

The club is so massively out of touch with its loyal supporters and with people in charge who can come up with loss making decisions like this it is seriously losing direction. IMHO.
