That is good, especially if a good balance of them are adults.
Not had one myself for 7 or 8 years, but me and the grandson will be in the west stand (plays rugby and football 5 days a week but won't stand up a a game )
Missus will also be attending quite a few also - and have to say the sat evening games are a winner for us.

| The club also said that there is a mixture of renewals and new ST buyers. Another good sign as, hopefully, we will be starting from a higher minimum attendance.
I'm sure Michael Norris said we would need an average of 5000 to break even in SL. If we can he close to that without opposition fans we will be in a strong position off the field, without having to rely on Derek's money

| I believe we can hit over 4000 season tickets and average about 6500 gates, hopefully more. Without the East open the North has a capacity of 3000 and I can see that either completely sold out with season tickets or very close - that will be one hell of a band of Brothers next season.
Stewarts signing is a brilliant one, just listen to the praise it has got from the RL hierarchy, should we have a marquee also we may be sitting on the hottest ticket in the area for the derby games

| I can see the North stand being sold out on Season Tickets if it only holds 3000. Pity half of the East Stand cant be converted to a standing zone, that would be great, but can't see this happening.

Most super league clubs break even at around an 8000-10000 average, so unless your spending significantly under the cap, or not running an academy, I can't see how it would be so much lower for you.

| So how are Salford, Wakey, Cas, Widnes, Giants, and HKR managing then. That's half of SL that can't get that average.

We have a stadium built without debt that we get nothing for from beer/ food sales, our rental deal reflects those two facts, it's mutually beneficial.
So in comparison to Salfords debt ridden stadium we are quids in, and also to say Wakefield's rather run down one which must cost a fortune to keep legal
Profit pays bills not income so we can run at full cap with lower crowds. We ran at about 1.3m on cap this season but only got 450k from central, so the extra 500k on cap is offset by 1.4m more central funding, probably about 600k more in gates and 200k in sponsorship which means we have plenty left over for the marquee signing imo, and pay off some of Derek's loans that got us here

You know it makes sense, especially when you can't get into where you want to be for the big games

They run at a loss with the likes of Koukash, Davey and Hudgell putting their hands in their pockets to pay the difference every year.

Leigh's projections, based on the scenarios mentioned by Maurice, above - especially the relationship with the stadium owners, have always suggested a break even of way below 8k. I guess time will tell on that one.

| I don't see how Sir Kevin can be sure of his original statement with respect.
Every club has to budget and none of those budgets are the same. I expect those budgets are estimated by every club' whichever division they are in.
Reminds me of what Mr Macawber used to say.

Exactly my position over the last few seasons since I last had a ST, like you I thought, what hell, even if I can't make a few games the Club still has my money to invest in the squad etc.

North Stand or bust for me.
While I appreciated Derek's generosity I still felt a little bit aggrieved to be in the East Stand & having 1st time speccies in the North.
Won't happen now I have a North Stand ST.

| Three North stand renewals for us Me, Son- in-law ,and one of the Grandkids ,at least all the North Standers will be interested in the game, unlike them three silly Bints who claimed their freebie for Batley ,then stood n front of Me ,drinking, talking and swearing throughout the match, with no interest at all in the match

| I'm in the UK for a whistle stop visit and day 1 went to the LSV yesterday and bought my Mum a season ticket. I always get my Dad his but my Mum doesn't go to all the games so just gets a ticket and then sits next to him in the West stand. Well that just won't happen next season unless she has a season ticket so it had to be done. Win for her, my Dad an the club I figure. She still won't make every game I figure but may go to more now and add to the roar.

Good move & a nice move/gesture to your Mam & the Club VC
Derek said the club could wash it's own face (with the backing of fans/bums on seats), that will only happen if Leigh people get behind it's biggest sporting club & invest in it's future either by buying a ST or going to 1 or 2 games if they are lapsed or 1st time fans.
Folk who buy a ST who probably won't be physically able to attend every game *such as your good self/my good self* are buying with their hearts & not their accountants heads. Of course there are those whose financial.circumstances dictate they can only PAYG & they are no less of a fan because of it.
Edit. [i1200 Season Tickets sold .... so far[/i
Looking forward to 2017 K.O, for better or worse .....
[iOne in (the ground) All in !!![/i

| As we arrived at the ground to buy the ticket there was a double rainbow over the ground. That has to be a good omen
Like you say Ste, what ever anyone can do for the club no matter how big or small is vital. Derek has pumped in money and passion, the coaching staff and backroom folk have steered the team and worked there hearts out, and the players have done it week in, week out through a gruelling championship season, then stepped up and handed three losses to SL clubs when it mattered. Even if all a fan can do is sing the praises of the club when ever they can, that good word will build a positive vibe that will mean others will spend just that little bit more if they can.
I've been looking at programs from 1955 with my Dad this week. It literally brought tears to my eyes to think we will be buying a 2017 Super League program together very soon.
