Thought the Fev fans who made it last night deserve a medal, for travelling in good numbers in appalling weather conditions. That M62 journey is horrendous at the best of times, on a weekday evening!

I was shocked how few Leigh fans turned out against Fax in't cup. Our away support is pretty good but like most we are struggling to boost home gates.

:D Yeah, that's always good for 5 - 6,000, eh?

On a serious note, I was impressed with Batley's support at LSV last weekend. When you consider they get about 1,000 at home, to take 2-300 away was brilliant.

Agreed - and, by the same token, if last night had been a glorious summers evening, instead of a deluge of Old Testament proportions, we'd have easily had a crowd approaching 2.5k!!

Crowd was over the 1800 'break even' figure, which for me, is the bench-mark - so, from a commercial point of view, the descision was the correct one.

Just not sure how true this is. I am not saying Sunday is necessarily better but Friday night is a no-no. How many less Season tickets will we sell if we persist with Friday (I know of one)?

If the club went back to playing on sundays only but left ST at £150 how many do you think we'd sell ?
