Having seen how hard and how many hours some people at our club put in I feel they need defending sometimes. Like I said before they are coming back slowly. When the stayaways come and see trys like todays, in surroundings like we have they'll be back.

Can't knock a crowd of 2,500+ today!

Re: Clubs cry for help : Fri Apr 22, 2011 4:32 pm  

You can't Matt. I thought the Barrow fans were in force too. I would say about 150. That makes 2400 Leythers. The familly is growing.

Yes good effort that crowd.

But to have a marketing strategy you need to dedicate someone to take care of it or it will fall apart at some point. That is another wage or wages. To print flyers and posters for each game is a £1000+. Most of our players are part time with other commitments and the others are probably doing the community stuff. Tell me if I'm wrong but did the club not recently have the players in the Spinningate Centre playing games with the kids? If you had a second job where you worked mostly in the evening and at weekends. Then were told you had to go and spend more time away from your familly and mates maybe for no pay ( i don't know if they get any thing I am just putiing a scenario together) would you be happy. The players are there to play rugby with the odd PR show if you ask me not to be used all the time for it.

Good post mate.A lot of our players are part time which means they probabley do 40 hours a week and then give "i know give the wrong word" lots of time to leigh rl. if they give up anymore time for the club iv'e got nothing but admiration for them.

Our crowds have grown every year from '09-1984. 00-2144 to this year 2569. But don't let facts get in the way of a good whinge eh. I'd say our marketing team would be happy with that.

I'll be honest the 12 o'clock kick off suits me fine. Robin Hood, Leigh v Barrow then Hare and Hounds for Wiggin-Saints and then take the mrs out for tea. Happy days.

Well you are right again. 2207 for the same match last season.

Word of mouth get into peoples faces about this. Leythers come to the LSV for great entertainment.

The tipping point could well be if we qualify for the NRC Final in July.

Also the numptie quoting 2500 avg gate at home forgets to add 2 games v biggest draws is what the figures are based on ignoring NRC games, the 2500 is of course much lower than the corresponding fixtures last year.
