I think it's probably because for the first time in many years Manuel did not get a season ticket

If you recall, there were plenty moaning about "why don't we get to hear what the shareholders were told first", and "why can't I go to the shareholders meeting", what's so special about them"...

Yes, this is the first time in many years we haven’t bought tickets as explained. My wife cannot stand for 80 minutes, the seats under the flats are a crap view and you tend to get soaked when it rains(not from beer as there hasn’t been a moment to warrant it) we will pay to sit down when seats are available in the new stand. We may watch from inside the bar again. Hope that’s clear.
It’s a fairly simple point. The situation we are in is self inflicted, it’s not the RFL, Child or Kendall’s fault. It may be an easier ride with season ticket holders but asking supporters to pay £10 is poor and looks just like another fundraiser , in MY opinion, and will probably lower bar sales. I think fans deserve better reward for loyalty after what has been endured and said. Rank bad management has reaped its own reward.

Well I agree with you on the first bit mate. We bought our stand tickets again this season and I have used those seats under the flats twice. They are absolute rubbish for the reasons you outlined. Luckily we can stand and find somewhere on the terrace.

Of course it's a fundraiser! What's wrong with that?

It's also a reward for those who committed to a season ticket. What's wrong with that as well?

Nothing.

We have seating season tickets and they aren’t great. We tried to enter the northstand but told we couldn’t stand and had to sit down. Shame really but only reason I bought the seated this year is so we could pick our seats in new stand.

Yeah the seats under flats not ideal , but prepared to put up with it until we can take our seats in new stand.
Suppose I should moan. Seems to be very fashionable.

Yes North Stand upper is out of bounds for us seated plebs. It's a case of stand where you can because the view of the game from those seats is terrible unless you are lucky enough to get on the front row.
Mind you a poor view has been a blessing so far this season

It was the lower I tried to get in but they said the only place they’ll accept seated tickets is for seating. Not allowed to stand even on lower north which is a shame.

Well I have stood there on every home match this season, no problem. I even got in through the North end turnstiles with my ticket. Tried upper level but always knocked back from there

Me and the kids think the seats by the flats are OK. I think the club did well filling the gap there with those.

Well I'm going to the fans forum, and I've got a season ticket too, but,and it's a big but,i've got pie and peas in my fridge, so I'm not bleeding happy either! I want fish and chips!!!

What flavour pie, what make and 'ow big? Peas; mushy, black or garden and, if one of the latter brace, 'ow many (exactly)? Manuel should know before he parts with his ill-earned - especially as this thread has left nothing to discuss at the forum. That is unless he wishes to ask some questions hereon for attenders to pose in his grumpy stead and report the answers back - tenner a pop.

I’m a glass half full person. I am not known to be grumpy. I ran a business since the 80s and have a modicum of knowledge of sales. Whenever my accounts gave opinion on sales, it was often clouded, it’s just not their area. We can’t all agree, I understand this. Sometimes, you have to give something back to your clientele, even something small. I’m not expecting a Tottenham type of offering.
Example of bad management/ Question to ask. Renouf Atoni repeatedly playing.
How does that sell the message for supporting the team when his effort and ability is questionable?
p.s. I am heavily involved in rugby league and commit many hours to the game I love.

I can answer that.
Against Warrington, Atoni did not to miss a tackle. We might want him to be better with the ball but that is why he's getting in.
Proctor and Bowes were the only others with 100%.
Crowther had big numbers but missed 7.

That was for free. Mash's answer will cost you a £10.

Pie, peas and Mash

Lol. I did not see that.
How have we got so far and no-one made that joke?
Come on Fil, this is normally your domain.

Sorry PT...slept in this morning and missed the gravy train

Just seen a tweet.

The event is now sold out.

Got my ticket, and if I have to pull out at the last minute (I have two back to back teams meetings right at the end of the day), someone else will go in my place.

Curry sauce with mine thanks FIL.....

I don’t know if they are accepting open questions but if they are I’d be very interested in asking how their model looks in terms of structure for the new facilities side of the business. Are they planning to bring in personnel with facilities management and sales experience to push the new venture into maximum profits?

Also, I notice that Leigh are recruiting a digital content creator I assume to promote the social media, video and club outlets as part of IMG criteria. Are the club planning to do something similar to increase the profile?

We are advertising for an Head of Media.

That was part of the reason MC wanted to move on as he said we needed a CEO who could manage the business side of the stadium. So I guess they will create a senior and junior role fir that.
And as announced, they've been planning the head of media role for a while.

They must have read my post lol. 10 minutes after and they’re on it. What a club we are. On the ball!
