The Lucy's of this world are just offering a point of view one one initiative

There are many reasons why Lucy hasn't been to all the available games so far.

Most of the reasons are well beyond the reach of any initiative from LRLFC.

But to tell Lucy that away fans are getting in cheaper than her and their kids are getting in free did her off a bit!

However Lucy is one who will get to games she can get to, and she will buy that Salford bloke a pint because of his kind offer! And she will also pay for her own ticket and her kids tickets!

I really do not want to get in to games for free, I never have and I never will!

I just think it's a bit off of you haven't got a season ticket you don't matter any more.

Glad to see you will still get to game's that you can Lucy, hope to see you in the Goose again.

That can't be the case, Lucy. We only have 400-odd season ticket holders, so everyone has to matter.

I think the point of her post was that the ticket initiative was ST specific Alan

what on earth makes you think that you matter if you have a season ticket ,you dont ,you only matter if you are an opposing fan nowadays, just like Max and Paddy we are on the road to nowhere

We will no doubt be trying various ideas this season on marketing the club, but our loyal fans need to be considered, they're the ones that have gone the extra mile and we don't want to upset them.



There's some of us LISA, Lottery,Touchdown members and some all three.



We've dug dip in the clubs hour of need, we're paying more this season to watch Leigh, we understand why we have to,so why not reward us with some free tickets to give away to people of our choice, I certainly wouldn't give them to people who already come and most of us wouldn't.



Its worth a go surely.

Lynda i think to many people have the idea of everything will be OK ,let somebody else do it , but its not the answer , we need more Fans or others who are ready to do something , not just come up with ideas , ideas are OK , but its action we need , Fans should start thinking what they can do , then we might raise more cash .

Free tickets will end up with regulars, they always do. They also dont increase income, unless sponsored/paid for.

More than likely very true Mo ,most on this Forum are already the Converted , im tired of people asking me "What is happening at Leigh ", i always reply , get down to the LSV , and find out , i must admit ,im concerned about falling attendances .

the pre-season poll on what day to play showed an overwhelming victory to play on sundays did it not ,the crowds are lower because of the insane decision to play on Thursday,Friday ,in fact as the old song says Never on a sunday, also I know of regular fans who are alienated by the fact that other teams fans are enjoying the match much cheaper than Leythers , last seasons initiative on freebies ended up as Maurice says in the hands of those who were coming anyway ,or those who never came again.

I did and do it every week , Im a LISA member, Lottery member, I play poker for LISA very Tues have goes on the forcast comp every week, run the coaches to away games , raising money, run a raffle on the away coaches, I can only do so much...........

However if |I was given some tickets to try and get more fans through the turnstyles ie kids etc I would try my best to achieve this.

This IMHO would have more long term benefits to giving cheap admission to a team fans that attend once a season.

We need to grow more fans, fans that will keep coming.

We have a great tool in our AWARDING WINNING EX COMMUNITY DEPT OF THE YEAR 2010, that specailises(sp) in getting into schools and dealing with kids of all ages, when our Beth was at Primary School she attended the LSV classroom we used to have and all the kids form that school were really impressed and some still attend games.

Things like free family tickets in a family stand (East) with no beer on sale, only families allowed in with the ticket, MAKE IT A GREAT DAY, stuff going on, get them in early for a fun day, next match invite them back next game cheap ticket and then again cheap ticket, till you have them hooked, keep the family stand, build up the family stand and eventually we will see the benefits, as there is no quick fix.
