That's what I said Pal, choice and not affordability for 95%. If we get 10% choosing we have 5000 home fans, I feel we will hit 3000 pre play offs

Ok that's fine. But they need encouraging and not insulting,bearing in mind that some people don't make going watching Leigh a priority so then it doesn't become affordable after expenditure. The club is selling the product much better than it once was,but it will take time to keep the crowds increasing.Like I've already said, they are taking the club in the right direction and doing a fantastic job.

Nostra - When you haven't got the money no matter how much you want to go to a game it's impossible. You obviously have the money to spend as you wish. Other people choose fags and a drink. I choose food, bills and then a game. I'm unemployed and I pick my games and I travel 8 hours there and back from Oldham to the LSV so put your keyboard warrior attitude away please. I never understand that type of poster who attack people but don't have the guts to put their photograph as their badge. They remind me of car drivers who change personality behind a wheel. If you met them in the street they would be as nice as pie but get them behind a car wheel or a keyboard and they change into The Incredible Hulk :O)



Cokey - I'm not used to this. People being nice to me on here. You are a rarity indeed. Pass me the smelling salts :O)

I just thought you had a good point so I responded.

I'm with you Nosy.



We need to up our attendances massively, and possibly our admission prices also, to stand any chance of a competitive team in SL.



And by competitive I don't mean winning silverware, I mean mid-table and the odd good cup run. And by attendances, I mean our own speccies and not being reliant on big away followings.

Well that's nowt to do with choice and affordability. The mind boggles.

WYSIWYG, I cant see your posts until someone quotes then, I put you on ignore after the sheeite you posted a while back, and for what its worth I was quoting local area I have mates in Australia with the same problem

Nostra maybe it's past your bedtime - Night Night :O)

ROTFL

Your advice for the board? you not on it anymore Neil?





I agree with some of your points but a bit strong IMO and I supose it's easy to have your view point when earning a six figure salery, some are not so fortunate.



Wigans population is over 310k so despite being the biggest club in the country and current double winners they are operating well under 5% on your logic. Leeds is a City with nearly 1m people in It but it just doesn't work that way mate.



Instead of critising people who don't share your point of view, try to understand what they are saying. I don't believe dramatically increasing attendances is impossible and a competitive Leigh side in SL will pull big gates for the big games if marketed right but it's a long game and will require year on year marketing imporvements and far greater levels of resource and advertising than the club has currently got or has ever had before.



Let's keep doing what we've been doing an slowly building and most of all appreciate the people that do go, fund the club and try and make sure they keep coming back and growing steadily like they have been doing this last 18 months.
