The 'gate' was [size=15032%[/size up on the Batley game last season, and [size=15032%[/size up on our second home fixture last season - Doncaster.

Given the counter-attractions, weather and very limited support from 'Haven, (substantially less than from Batley, in my opinion) I would think the BOD would be happy with that sort of percentage increase.

Haven fans only really travel in numbers here if the pies are at home in the same weekend. They make a weekend trip of it. Being a bunch of not reets they think tha Leigh is the other side of the world.

Let's just keep above 2,000 and work from there.

I think that's a cracking attendance. You carry on playing the stuff you're doing when the warm weather comes you'll be looking at 2,500. Featherstone & Leigh clearly getting things right at this crucial crossroads of the game.

Rich we have a fan with car space travelling to LSV on matchdays you will be far happier here

Oh I could never abandon my team. I survived the debacle of 2003, only missed one match due to a holiday. There are many resilient RL fans. Just look at the Bradford Bulls example. OK, they've lost a few thou but still holding onto 5,000 diehards after the mauling that their club has taken. That's pretty commendable stuff.

Good lad and good luck, with the normal exceptions.

As long as we keep playing this type of Rugby , the crowds will grow , the Touchdown Club was FULL again yesterday , the food has improved

and Tony Cottrells talk was very entertaining , good value for money , at the North Wales game Alex Murphy is guest Speaker , that will be entertaining .

I think when the weather gets warmer , and the Soccer season ends our crowds will go up , the BOM are doing everything to try to improve the Matchday experience , and have done so , yesterday one of our Party attended a Leigh game for the first time in his life , he has a season ticket at Old Trafford , but really enjoyed the experience and said he will definitely return very soon .When word spreads about the type of flowing rugby we are playing at the moment the crowds will return .Charlie knows .

We just need to remember it takes time. I am a returning fan who has been sporadically over the last 10 years. Been to two pre-season games and both home league matches. You need to get others like me back, as well as new fans, but it takes time. Progress is happening.

He's already had the offer from me when they have played us. When ever you would like to Rich just ask.

Most definitely the most stupid and incorrect post in the history of RLfans.com

Hang your head in shame!!

Think we could push the 2500 mark for the north wales games,as they tend to travel in numbers.

To be honest at the moment some of the game are still no contest,hoping next year with the 2 super league teams dropped in will spice up the season because as it stands this leigh team will take any team apart this season in our league.

Thought our discipline was disappointing the second half and such the game fell apart

Hopefully we can keep most of this squad and stick 2-3 more quality players in the team to help us step forward with the new format in a couple of seasons time

Have you visited the VT?

Hardcore now at 2k. It was 1400 last year which is a great increase.

I can see 3k + v Fev and Fax easily and an average of 2400 to 2600.

Great news.

Really!

Serious question........What kind of attendance do you think we could get, if for one game only we had FREE ENTRY FOR EVERYONE?
I sometimes wonder if the club widely publicised it, they could run it as an experiment and use the figure as a target: to try and get that many paying supporters. (PS, I know it'll never happen in reality.)

Much as I like to think that people would jump on that, I seriously doubt we'd pass 5k, and a lot of those would be pies/skints/mutants fans on a day pass.

We're showing that it's good rugby that brings fans in.

I have no objection to free kids tickets but I always think you get what you pay for when you get older.

This squad of ours is very entertaining to watch and if Adults do come I think they will agree it is money well spent.

I am sure that the BOM want to target their special offers strategically and not dilute the brand by free-for-alls. It would also be very expensive.

Makes sense to give a free ticket to a 10 year old who may support the club for the next 60-70 years rather than a pensioner who, unless he/she discovers the fountain of eternal youth will not be around quite that long!

Ta lad that has really cheered me up.

i'd rather have 2,000 paying fans than 5,000 none paying fans........

Doubt we'd even get 5,000; it's excellent value for money as it is. Giving things away for free even just as a one off completely devalues them, look at what happened to Super League sponsorship rights once they were given away for free to Stobart. Keep playing winning, exciting rugby for meaningful and achievable aims with publicity around town and attendances will keep on going up.

I think our crowds will increase throughout the season. I know we`ve had good starts in previous years but our squad and u20s are looking the Dogs Bx. Happy times ahead ...

Hope you're right Bart, playing as we are crowds should definitely be on the up. I will be making my 1st appearance of the season for the Rochdale game in 3 weeks, can't wait. Will also be around for the St Pats game and i'm hoping to be able to make the Fax away game too before heading back down south. Although everytime I managed to get back home to watch us last season we seemed to lose

hope I have better luck this year!!

Nozzy.....Just watched the Haven game on LCTV and it was every bit as good as the Live version. Only my opinion but I can`t remember a Leyth side whose defence on our line was as good.We`ve always had a weak underbelly within 10m of our line.
