therin lies the problem mish the sponsor was a Leigh Cent sponsor and not a LSV catering company one, one thing you mcan rely on was that someone in the sponsors 'party' will have gone away blaming the centurions.

These comments beggars belief. What do they expect? I applaud the efforts of Leigh East, The Ellesmere, Our House and the Park Inn who are making an effort to do something for the fans on match day.

Compare that to the Legends bar, no advertising, no offers, slap a £2 charge on each fan and then wonder why no one goes in.

I would suggest that the management of Leigh/LSV (never quite sure myself where one starts and the other ends) take a leaf out Mr Chairman’s book on how to promote their club/stadium.

As far as I can see he takes every opportunity to promote the Leigh East in a positive manner and keep people up-to-date without letting out matters that should be kept within the club.

Whenever I go on other clubs forum’s again he there promoting his club and inviting them down. Other than his own time this doesn’t require a huge marketing budget. So instead of the LSV criticising him, they should be fighting back and showing what they are made of.

Is the away end standing? I used to bring my kids to HP and they never got board and would like them to come to LSV this season

Did you say all that without taking a breath?



I'd agree about the whining etc, yes LSV is an infinatly better facility and you will find that 99% of the time I will back the club up on whatever happens.

Regarding the kids, it does have to be a fun day for them otherwise they are bored rigid. Its not a game of rugby to them, (in the same sense as it is to you and me), its an 'occasion' they need to enjoy.

'Away' stands (South and East) are sitting only. The North Stand is standing only. However, currently, only the West and North stands have been open, so if that's the case, when we play you, you may be able to stand!

Cheers Alan

But as you're a Widnes fan (I think?), chances are you'll be in the South

see this is just a indication o what is possible if everybody workstogether for the common good, your credit to your club and to the wider game of rl keith, well done, take a note lsv.

yes, widnes fans are being put in the south stand.

That's absolutely brilliant - thanks, Keith.

I was asked, how we could sell more programmes and my simplistic answer was - 'Atttract more people to the games'. Easy, isn't it?

do the club (LC), recognise your efforts Keith?

It seems the majority of supporters want a MM type bar at the LSV, what about a full boycott of the Legends bar until they do? Well all of the 5ish people who go will need to agree.

They are people, thought they were puppets that were put there to make it look like people are drinking in their

I wonder if folk would then get to the ground early, pick up tickets, meet up in the supporters bar with mates, have a few beers and go into the ground.

If you are having a beer and dont have a ticket you are not going to walk to the ground to walk to a pub to walk back to the ground.

I must admit I find the stewards at the new stadium petty & aggressive. My kids really like the not being open to the elements. I think the owners of the stadium need to look at making the East Stand terracing & include a supporters bar. At the moment its a soccer stadium with an RL team in it, it needs to change to an RL stadium quickly or it will lose supporters, i already make excusses not to go & regret getting a season ticket.

have to admit I haven't been in the legends bar, it just looks a bit too much like an office from the outside.

and the only time I ever drink in an office is when I'm on the clock!!

Not possible , the cost would be huge , you are right though , having the East stand as the home standing part of the stadium with a bar underneath similar to the ones at New Craven Park and Post Office road would have been ideal , the away fans could have congregated together and swapped side with the home fans creating a much better atmosphere

Too late now though , they'll have to work much harder now to make it work , they were told all this though beforehand of course , but they know better dont they


All this ' new stadium factor crap ' that attendances always rise as they did at Warrington and Hull

Attendances also rose at Widnes with no standing and many years unfinished, but if the guests are made to feel unwelcome and the show is poor quality the gates will drop no matter what.

We live in a commercial world where we must compete for the reduced disposable income out there, and we are currently doing it badly.

i like the new ground but like has been said we do need to get more fans in the stadium how we do that i do not know.

here's hoping, and yes I am

Thats a good point. Untill I was shown I wouldnt have known where it was and it does look like an office. Very uninviting. An exteroior part to the Bar on the pavement would look good. It wouldn't take up too much room on the pavement. If there are empty rooms at the other side of the ticket office put a coffee shop in there with an outside terrace. I have to say Keith if they have been reading this and seen how popular the Easts club is and have done nothing about it. They should be picking up their P45's. Or is it that they too have to pass a ridiculous amount of paperwork in to alter things?
Two things that I would like too see as a start in an announcer that can get the crowd going. Also get our masscot to be as entertaining as Parky Pig was. He gave the crowd a real feel good factor.
I remember going to the willows last year and Steve Simms was in the bar addressing the fans telling them what was happening at the club who was in and out. Maybe this could happen when we get our M Martyn Bar back. A little bit of razamataz when the team come on the field too. We had some good singers at half time at HP. Get some back. When we went to the night match at Halifax last year they had fire eaters and a singer on at HT.
I know it costs but we need some of these things back.

Maybe what needs to be done is a dossier of all the faults etc to be forwarded to the Lsv this is only the first season and errors and mistakes on proceedings will happen no good complaining on here it does not get listened to.

I don't know why LSV wouldn't listen to the excellent feedback on here. It would be in their interests as it has, mostly, been constructive and useful.

Absolutely. The majority of the idea's if implemented correctly will actually help to enhance Leigh Centurions, LSV's and the catering company's revenue streams
