...and tickets are available all week or longer in the lead up to the game. How many cash turnstyles? Will people go back to leaving the pub at 2.55? Then complain of long queues at cash turnstyle(s). Excuses/arguments can be made about any of the subjects here...cash/tickets. As pointed out most modern venues require ticket entry these days. To minimise the queues tickets can be bought whenever up to the game. If I remember rightly the could be bought online and sent out. Can't get there in the week, don't have a computer or can't be ar5ed.
You cannot give everyone what they want (especially Leythers!!), just try and make things easier.
PS is there a cash turnstyle for the Elton gig

Every week I go into Warrington's south stand through a cash turnstile, which has no more of a queue than Leigh's north stand ticket only turnstiles do.
If the LSV thinks it would be a problem though, maybe make it exact change only? Worth a try at least, I know they had cash turnstiles on the south stand for Leigh v Warrington back in Jan 2011 due to the huge queue at the ticket office.

In my case in answer to Q1 it would depend on when those games were being played as I work shifts. In answer to Q2 yes I would.

I'd have the 5 game ST for any fixture maybe a voucher book or if the LSV gets its machines working a swipe card for 5 games, once its used its gone.
I'd knock a £1.01 off the cost of x5 matchday tickets to make it attractive to advance purchase or alternatively ensure we get some kind of supporters club set up and allow free membership to that (along with all other ST holders, match sponsors etc, etc) or even put a discount on LCTV, Basically add a incentive but don't go OTT.
I think in these days of consumer choice we need to offer a small gain/ incentive but in all honesty I think the 5 game ST would be ideal for a number of people such as those with busy lifestyles who can't commit to Leigh week in week out but want to be part of the 'ride' I also think it will help those at the other spectrum who cannot commit as they just can't afford it maybe the ones who don't earn a great deal of money yet they try and support the club in anyway they can so we create something somebody could buy them as a present that isn't going to cost as much as a year long ST or give them a achievable cost to be able to save up for.
For me I'm in a similar boat as GLOW, Fixtures aren't confirmed so can't commit to a ST and its unlikely they'll got confirmed so a 5 Game ticket would have meant 'I've committed' in advance and the money is in Leigh's bank account in the off season.
The risk for Leigh is the type of people buying these tickets might come and pay anyway so we lose £5.05 Per person on the end financial result from ticket sales, the risk is they don't come and we could gain finance that equates to people coming to 2 more matches than they would have during the normal season as 'I've already paid so I might as well go'.
I'd say though getting a address for another ST allows us a bigger supporter database to use and if we start to attract fans a 5 match ST is a ideal one for a newby to RL to purchase as a 'taster' to what we are about.

| Jenky once again you have just taken the words right out of my mouth/finger
The club used to offer a 1 pound discount for early purchase, this would be the maximum discount applied to a multi ticket
A multi ticket empowers every fan that buys one to sell the club and matchday to anybody they want to, they can at a seconds notice invite as many people ( as tickets they still have ) to a game, it really is that SIMPLE, no need to overcomplicate it by thinking about it TOO much

| I think it a good thing to have for those who like Ian c who work shifts and he's stated somewhere hell probably be at more away games next season then home .
Also with the TV games not being announced people may not be able to go to those games and therefore the season ticket is. No no , if a 5 match ticket book is too much how about making it 7 games then ?

| Just a thought for a 'cash' turnstyle, but would a contactless payment with a card work? Just swipe you debit/credit card and in you go?

A worthwhile system if you have a stadium that is full on a regular basis, at Leighs current level it probably isnt viable

In Perpignan you have to exchange money for food/drink tokens. Was raining that much this year though your pint was watered down to nothing in seconds!

A system that would just put off another couple of hundred if used over here , just another overcomplication

| Well I think the cost would be prohibitive although I truthfully have no idea how much such a system would cost.

Don't know that one, but I do know the DW stadium has definitely no room for the pitch to exit, as they had to build loads of (early) exits for the fans!

I sat and watched the Batley home (Championship) and Fev away (NRC games) the other night and still can't get over the commitment and desire shown by our players in the face of adversity last season.
With the quality we have added and the new Board it's now over to Paul Rowley to deliver the results and take us to glory which I feel he will do.

It'll be a pleasant change for him actually having 17 fit players to select from!
