Again all in your own opinion...

Not sure I take every opportunity to make this claim...

It's a dream Mish, one dream that comes a little closer with every signing my mate Derek funds and signs..

It's quite a bizarre situation were by when we get there this season or next I'll celebrate and you may or may not apologise for your insults...

Alternatively of course we might not get there and I'll say looks like you were right Mish we didn't make it..

You can choose to continue to call me then should you wish..

One things for sure having a dream and aiming for Wembley is the last time I checked no crime and nobody will be sending me to prison...

It's just a wish and a dream , you can choose to dream or continue to try and slate people who have that dream.

Have a nice evening love...

If it does happen I'll be the first to apologise....love.

And in the meantime MarwanK has spent the day calling Rangi and others on Twitter. Appalled.

O.k, I have given this just a 'little' bit of thought.

Elsewhere on the forum, someone basically asks how we *Derek/the club* will pay for it all, (spending the full £1.3m & Rangi).

Also in the VT thread 'Average Attendances' - Leigh are quoted as having a 2015 average of 3787 for the 11 regular rounds.

Bare with me here.

Should the signings of Rangi, Hansen, Matuia & Weston & a very good season *like last season* bring an increase in our average home gate up to a not impossible 4,500 it would represent an increase of 713.
If those 713 were for example adults paying £18 per match in the North Stand that would equate to £141,174 increased revenue just from home ticket sales over the 2016 season.
Surely this would at least pay Rangi's salary ?

Now don't get me wrong, there is no guarantee of this or any increase, but I think it highly unlikely that crowds would not increase on the 2015 average considering the signings made in the off season.

Also, there are many possible permutations to my suggestions, a % being child or seniors tickets or main stand tickets for example, or even that the number of away fans attending the LSV also increases, but as I have said, it is not in my opinion beyond reason that we will see another increase in average attendances at Leigh.

Does anybody disagree, or in fact think that this is largely irrelevant?

Re: Rangi is a Leyther : Wed Nov 25, 2015 11:05 pm  

Well I think our average gates will improve on last season but 30% of ticket sales go in vat and to the LSV.

Rangi won't be cheap either.

Will it be Brierley who makes way for him?

Oh right. I am not sure. I imagine we will see a fair bit of rotation as Ridyard and Brierley are both too good to miss out on a regular basis. Guess it depends on how Rowley sees Rangi's role. If he sees him as the main organiser then Ridyard is probably under threat. If he wants Ridyard to continue as the chief organiser and kicker then Chase is more likely to replace or interchange with Brierley who tends to have more of a free reign in attack.

Could even see us using a half back on the bench to keep options open.

Re: Rangi is a Leyther : Thu Nov 26, 2015 10:29 am  

We could see some scintillating rugby with Chase and Brierley in the halves and that's all I am going to say on the matter Oh and provided the rest of the team stay alert to their off the cuff styles.
