FOLLOWING confirmation from the Nationwide Conference that the minimum admission charge for next season will be £7, Leigh RMI have had to make an increase in both the matchday and season ticket charges.

While a rise in admission charges was inevitable, it should be borne in mind that this is the first rise for some considerable time and is, of course, for Conference football.

Season Ticket Prices. Seated: Adult £130 prior to June 30; £140 prior to July 31; £150 after August 1. Concession £75 prior to June 30; £80 prior to July 31; £85 after August 1. Child £50 at any time.
