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

Stop moaning there’s worse things going on in the world. Most people have been cooped up for over a year and would jump at the chance to travel 30 minutes to watch a live game.

Taking my son to the rugby for the first time in a year this weekend. Can’t wait.Let’s get back to the games, we need it and the clubs need it. Let’s get our game back on it’s feet.

Sounds like Derek is doing the rest of the league’s fans a favour





(This is in jest)

Probably making up for the shortfall of sky money.

Hard to argue with Durham Giant......sadly. I wonder if other clubs (like Huddersfield) who we have prohibited OurLeague from showing their games at Leigh, will return the favour when we have to play at their ground. Considering that 90% of Leigh supporters did not ask for a ST refund last season, and then bought one for this one not knowing how many (and if) games they would be able to watch. As a PR exercise it's a disaster, folk have long memories, and Beaumont is bang out of order. No wonder he's not on social media right now....

He did it to Wigan as well, until enough people kicked up a fuss that the decision was reversed.

Completely agree with this post. I'm a leigh fan and I would go to every home game normally. Unfortunately due to work circumstances at the time I couldn't afford a season ticket and now I can't justify paying an extra £10 a game than last year. I wish the club all the best this year but they've Completely priced some fans out. Like somebody has already said, he's taken himself off social media because he didn't want the negativity. I'm not surprised he has done that now.

Leigh against Huddersfield is a mouth watering prospect too.

This is different. Fans (paying) from both clubs have been given the option to attend, so no excuse. I would agree that it's a bit pricey tho.

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.

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?

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

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. ?

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

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.

From what i was told the crowd was less than 2000 with a quarter being Huddersfield fans, not exactly rugby league mad in Leigh then are they

Let’s blame the demise of Bradfurt on somebody else..

You didn’t give a e when the pennies were rolling in.

If memory serves me well your ticket prices were higher than SL whilst in championship.

About 100 hiddersfield fans so don’t know were you are getting your info.

Tough ask getting fans in to watch a team that will struggle all season because of the situation they have found themselves in but as a fan you should support their effort I will.

Well said. Tough ask in 2017 to stay up but leigh recorded an average attendance of 6,301

Better than Salford, Wakefield, Widnes and Huddersfield.

Show me where I blamed the demise on somebody else?

I am merely saying that to openly laugh about the demise of another club and with it, the loss of jobs shows what kind of person the Leigh owner is
