is the only ticket on sale for saturday the double header one priced ay £18 or can you buy one just for our game

You have to pay £18. Even if you turn up after the Swinton game has finished, it is still £18.

WHICH will result in the smallest crowd at the LSV, since Leigh Genesis played there. Well done to all concerned !!!

unfortunatly that is what i thought

When the sardines have removed their brains and the seagulls have feasted, then the boat will come into the harbour

They're asking people £18 to spend a minimum of 4 1/2 hours standing in freezing conditions to watch two semi-pro teams blast amateur opponents.

Or for those not tempted by tantalising prospect of Swinton v [iWhoeveritis[/i, they're asking £18 to watch Leigh take on an amateur side in the early CC stages.

Honestly can't see what angle they're trying to sell this one on.

Swinton v Toulouse will be a better game than ours i suspect. Still won't be paying £18 though.

This.

Were there an option to pay a tenner or so to watch the Leigh game then I'd certainly consider it, but it's unfair to try and get my 5 year old to sit in the cold for so long in an effort to justify £18 plus whatever it costs for him.

No it won't

Not sure it's about selling, it's more about minimising the losses

we shall see, guess Swinton + Leigh fans, might make the crowd just under a 1000. You know what I'm saying though ColD, bad idea !!!
£10 to watch Leyth v East Leeds, I'll be there...£18 NOT A CHANCE !

I will be there,a few scoops before the games (and during), two games of rugby league brilliant.

Dos anyone know if the turnstiles will be open through out the fixture as I only want to go in around 5pm to watch us?

Its little wonder i cant be bothered with this board, when even the mods dont know who is playing


So Toulouse are Amateurs then??

The pricing policy is an absolute joke. Come on lets be honest?

Last year it was £16 per adult ticket to watch the Super League and World champions in a Challenge Cup QF and last 8 knock out Challenge Cup tie. Ryan Hall, Rob Burrow , Danny Maguire and Kevin Sinfield et al, A place in the last four at stake?

This year they want an increase in that admission price to watch a Leigh v an Amateur team first round tie? Who on earth is calling the shots at Leigh RLFC these days?

Do they think the Leigh public is a wash with money?

Who wants to watch Swinton? Congratulations to the Leigh BOD for pricing me out of the match.

I agree it's a bit steep at £18 and unfair to expect leigh fans come to watch our game.
I think the problem lies in the fact that gate monies are shared with both games so in effect after costs both Swinton and Leigh will get only a quarter share each, therefore I suspect the thinking is to try and maximise the money they can generate with the bulk of support coming firstly from Leigh and then Swinton.
I assume it is on the Saturday so we can accomodate the French.?
Either way I think a single game ticket should be made available for fans wanting to watch just their own team. I sympathise with anyone who has little kids, trying to keep them entertained for nearly 4 hours especially if the cold weather is still with us.

What about the Grand National John ?My tip is Colbert Station, Charlie knows

.

Thanks charles,Thats one to cross off the list.

I hadn't checked, as I don't care who Swinton are playing.

I have no interest in Swinton's fixtures unless they have a direct effect on Leigh or a match stands out for some other reason entirely. Swinton v Toulouse does not qualify under either condition. I had no interest yesterday, have no interest today and will have no interest next weekend.

On my list of things to do, watching a Swinton game in the cold appears nowhere. I wouldn't go if they were giving tickets away.

As it is, both Leigh and Swinton fans are being forced to pay a surcharge for the other game should they only want to watch their own team. That stinks.

Well I for one am getting seriously browned off with Swinetown this season, for the second time in nine days I will not be watching my team, I blame it on that bloody Swinetown chairman

Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.

Sadly Old pal in this instance I think the cost blame lies firmly at the Leigh club as £18 is your normal gate fee and you wouldn't lower it to £15 which is what Swinton charge unless the ticket is pre-booked then it is only £12 for league matches.

Peawaap , i hope you and your family enjoyed the Worky game , it was an improvement on the Swinton game , but i feel you are being very harsh blaming Swinton for your non attendance of the Cup game , nobody is being forced to attend to watch Swinton , myself i shall be watching the National , then watching Leigh later .

As for the price to enter again you cant just blame Swinton , and if you watch both games , the price is not extravegant , what are the likes of Fax and others charging for one game ?

Has anyone considered the amateur clubs followers in this ? , 18 quid plus travel costs to watch their team get torn up ( Hopefully ) seems a bit excessive .

My memory's on the blink but was it last year or the year before at this same stage when all 3 Leigh teams were drawn at home , the Miners played Friday evening , the East played Hunslet on the Saturday afternoon and the Centurions played on Sunday afternoon . I went to watch the East v Hunslet game ( with the March brothers as special guest referees ) and paid a mere 7 squid to sit in the West stand .

If it was feasible to split the games up then , why can't it be done now ? . And can anyone remember who the Centurions played that weekend and how much it cost to get in ? ,
