Old Frightful Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Heard contrasting reports about being able to watch Leigh home games on this app. My lot are probably going to be Leigh's first victims on Saturday and we're hoping (yes, really!) to be able to watch it on our hooky Amazon Firestick thingy. However, I've read that speccies can't watch games from the LSV on the app, is this true or was it another attempt at Degsy bashing? Answers on a postcard or even this thread please, thanks.

You posted the following on Scubby's "Fans back in - demand for tickets" thread : "I was out for a beer with some ' Wigan ' fans at the weekend , all they kept going on about was Leigh being the only club to not stream their games , I pointed out that the Giants fans could buy a ticket , and it was only the Wigan game that Leigh didn't put on our league or make tickets available ( Wigan did stream the game however )" So which is it?

M j M Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It would be reasonable for clubs not to put the games on the app if they haven't sold all the available tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Rob, Leigh have decided not to allow Our League to stream their games, also increased the admission charge to £30 for non season ticket holders Including both home or away fans in the seating area's as I am aware being the only areas available, glad to be advised otherwise though. The thought I believe is people will want to watch the games so will pay, only 1800 on Saturday for the Catalan game, it is in my mind a policy which will come back to bite the club in the ariss.

I have a season ticket and I wouldn't mind the club canvassing me for my opinion, I would charge the normal admission rate not £30 I would sooner see the empty seats and terracing occupied other than open spaces.

You may well see that on Sunday as allowing Hull the south stand may well sell out, and the capacity reached at £30 to sit along the sides. ps Went to Wires first home game in 2020 and paid £33 to sit in the main stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said it before, quite a lot are not paying the £30 asking price my worry is many of them may not have seen live rugby league come the end of the season for nearly 2 years, it may just be an habit of not going they will adopt in the future.

Do you not think that this strategy of uplifting the admission cost will have more watching it in the pub for free, I certainly do. It is in my opinion a really bad buisness decision by the club, they claim to be protecting the season ticket holders, well poll them and seek out their take on it, I would wager the season ticket holders would say not to raise the prices.

I am very much a cynic when it comes to attitudes to watching sport live , you either do or you don't , a few years back I was struggling to afford a ST , so I watched some games and not others , I'd watch 5 games instead of 6 , whereas the ' loyal Leyther ' won't watch any because it's 4 quid more than he thinks it should be I do believe we should be more inventive with multi tickets , and half season tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RigbyLuger Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 With Netflix, Sky and whatever else being pirated, it is amusing that Leigh used that as a reason in that statement for their reticence to be on Our League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Sky pay for the privilege and its not every game. Our league are providing a service to fans unable to access games due to capacity issues. Leigh, we, made a monumental fekk up with ST in the close season when some clubs didnt sell them awaiting covid news or offered refunds for games unable to see eg Leigh ST £240/276 Adult NS with NO refunds - compared to Wire £220 (lowest) with refunds every 4 weeks for unattended games. I dont think we will make the same mistake again - but the reduced Sky money and selling of shirt sponsorships etc at Championship rates probably caused overkill in this area.
