I think the Leigh magazine is far better than the RFL one. In the boxes I always see people taking the Leigh ones home whilst the RFL ones lay abandoned on the tables.

The problem is that all the information is already a week old before you get the chance to read it - I always skim through it but I definitely wouldn't buy one.

Further backing up the theory that it's a glossy League Express.

I would echo Alan's comments but state if you get chance to buy one please do so as sell outs mean income for the club. Also we are always open to suggestions and contributors that can be worked in with Dave Bradshaw in particular mentioning that the current programme could even be expanded. So whilst other editions are slipping from their perch, thanks to the hard work and drive of Alan, plus all of our regular contributors, "The Centurion" is in rude health, although I would be interested to speak with anyone that could help with providing coverage for the reserve team as it looks like I will not be available for every game this year.

Cant do much better than selling out .

I would always buy the Leigh programme first and well done to Alan and the team for for the high standards. However, I bought the Game On programme at the Swinton game and found it a reasonable read. I have never seen it on sale at Leigh and think there are a few supporters who would buy both.

How about a special offer for both programmes say £4.00 for both? Thus getting the costs of the Leigh programme plus more contributions to the costs we have to give for the Game On magazine.

Must admit I've not seen it either, Jasper. (although I've not been particularly looking) Thanks for the suggestion, (and the compliments to the team) I'll put it to the Club.

Good idea. I would have a bit of that.

An update on the 'joint sales'. I've been in touch with the Club, who are looking at ways of making both publications more visible, at more locations. (even at 'outside' locations, where people gather, pre-match) I'm told that they are already on sale at a joint price of £2.75!!(but I don't remember seeing them - I'll have to look more closely, next week!)

Wow that is a bargin. Pity nobody knew about it. The best way to sell them is for the programme sellers to be selling the Leigh programme, then to ask the customer if they want to take up the special offer of the Game On magazine as well for £2.75. I'm sure there would be a good uptake at that price.

I asked the programme seller if they also had any of the Game On magazines, but he didn't. Without getting onto a rant, it does annoy me when I try give my money to Leigh but can't. If the offer is real, then Leigh is to applauded, so why not promote it? If we have to pay £250 to buy the Game On magazine then why not try and recoup some of the cost?

I agree with what you say, and can't answer you, I'm afraid! I only edit (and write a good bit) of our programme. If I had any more time on my hands, I could get out there and sell them!
