Leigh against Huddersfield is a mouth watering prospect too.

Leigh v everyone is a good watch this season.

Last time they were in SL they certainly ruffled a few feathers, with some notable scalps.
This time around, putting a squad together at ridiculously short notice, they are still giving it a go.

Perhaps if you weren't so bitter, you could enjoy the rugby on view, if you were allowed to watch

It has to be said that, when away fans aren't supposed to travel, there should be something done to allow some kind of pay per view for away fans (and others) who, unlike you, enjoy their RL.

I'm not bitter at all I hope Leigh do take some notable scalps this season.

Essentially wasn't the Our League thing set up when fans couldn't attend - and in the situation described, with still tickets available for both home & away supporters, isn't it reasonable that physical attendance takes the priority over a streamed game.

Re: Derek Beaumont robbing B : Sat May 22, 2021 7:28 am  

When Bradford were streaming games online 3 years ago they were hammered on here because it was unthinkable that a club would allow fans to watch away games for free at the expense of the home team selling tickets. I fail to see how this is any different?

As Leigh have cancelled having games televised via our league unilaterally it means that you cannot watch their games anymore unless you attend the game.

This seems counter to the programme that I felt had been put in place for season ticket holders being allowed to watch all games on our league until grounds were back to normal.

This weekend I can watch every team except for Leigh and Huddersfield. Unless I get a ticket to go to Leigh.

As Leigh have not sold their allocation of ticket hey have now being offered to gIant’s fans but only a limited number due to social distancing .

I am not sure what tickets cost last season but now they are£30 each. Cheapest price is £28 for an adult. But tickets have to be sent by post to Giants fans. Commission price is £4.35 for two tickets so £60.35 for two £28 tickets.

Seems like Derek is robbing fans with the left and right hand .

Not sure how Leigh fans who are still wary about going out to games feel about this

Maybe you could ask Mr Davey to subsidise your away ticket in the same way he subsidises your home & Season Tickets ?
It's OK for Huddersfield to charge £3.99 for a dozen Season Tickets but it is a flawed *see £€CK€D* business model & devalues the sport. Alternatively maybe you could ask Mr Davey & Co to give Leigh the other half of our Sky TV money ?

No ?

Thought not.

Looking forward to seeing the army of 90 travelling Giants fans again !

I understand why the prices have gone up we have received a lot less then other teams from funding so the away clubs should show some understanding really
I’m would pay £30 if I didn't have a season ticket to watch my team but others don’t want to it’s their choice

Re: Derek Beaumont robbing B : Sun May 23, 2021 4:14 pm  

Feel sorry for the Leigh fans having to pay £30 to watch their team get mullered .

Nice one Degsy

Wonder how many will pay £30 at the next game. ?

Re: Derek Beaumont robbing B : Sun May 23, 2021 4:23 pm  

Apart from when Warrington visit, it will be probably our only attendance over 2K (2008 today)

Re: Derek Beaumont robbing B : Sun May 23, 2021 8:24 pm  

Imagine charging your fans £30 for the privilege of being walloped by Hudds

Never liked Beaumont since he laughed at the demise of Bradford and with it the loss of numerous jobs. Must enjoy watching hard working people struggle to make ends meet

Disgusting man but revered by Leigh fans for some reason.

Revered? Not really no.
We fans have no choice but to either attend or not. After today ,can't see many wanting to turn up for the rest of the season either.
