I attended the game yesterday and enjoyed it. In fact, I'd go again if I was offered discounted tickets. A few people will say ''why don't you pay top price like everybody else'' but I support Wigan home and away and it can get expensive as you lot will know. So unless I get discounted tickets, I won't go...Simple, no complaints.
That's where Leigh should look to local Super League clubs for opportunities to expand their support. For example, offer season ticket holders of Super League clubs a good discount to come watching Leigh.
What have Leigh got to lose?
The LSV makes it easier for a neutral supporter to watch games too. The facilities are good and plenty of places to watch the game with cover and a good view. Also, I'm not sure if it's a good thing for you lot but although the atmosphere was low key, it was pleasent and people frowned upon those trying to sing the 'flute song' or 'offensive' terrace songs.
I'll be honest though, I was quite suprised by the lack of crowd parcipitation last night. You have this big, nice stadium and opportunities to involve the crowd and get them up for the game, but it just seemed as though the club and the supporters are different sets of groups opposed to being one club. There didn't seem to be a link between those on and off the field, no competitions and generally no atmosphere built up. It felt like an amateur game being played at a big stadium. The club really need to embrace the LSV and involve the supporters, it just seems to be lacking a bit of enthusiasm.
