Leigh Leopards are delighted to announce that we have now sold over 5,000-memberships in an amazing achievement for the club as they secure a 250% increase on season ticket sales.
The Leopards have also encouraged fans that they can still secure their memberships before Round One against Huddersfield Giants. Supporters can still renew or subscribe via direct debit by making the missing payments at time of sign up. For example, an adult White Card membership would cost £125 on sign up, then £25 per month from March until September inclusive.
The introduction of the Red Card membership has been very popular with over 600 members. This is a fantastic way to be a member of the club and enjoy exclusive benefits and priority access to ticket sales.
The Club would like to remind supporters that the North Stand will almost certainly sell out to members, and we therefore encourage you to purchase or upgrade your membership to guarantee a North Stand ticket.
With tickets now on sale for the Huddersfield Giants fixture, Red Card members have an exclusive 24-hour period to redeem their membership for this game. It is almost certain that the North Stand will sell out well before general sale.

Club owner Derek Beaumont said: “The take up by the town has been remarkable and highly motivating to me. Having invested further in a third marquee signing and strengthening the squad with additional numbers and a reserves team, it gives me great support that it is what the people of the town want to see.
“The support of our retail merchandise has also been fantastic with more than 3,000 of the memberships purchased including a replica shirt or polo and many more purchased at the stall. It is this support that has seen me invest in building a mobile shop to be located outside the Leopards Den at Leigh Sports Village to assist with supporters being able to make purchases more easily and in particular on match days.
“I am currently working on the early part of the calendar for the pre match entertainment, in particular around the opening fixture against the Giants and I hope to be able to release details of this in the next week which will also no doubt create some demand for tickets.
“A significant part of the success of the commercial aspect of the club is down to the performances of the players on the field and I would like to place on record my appreciation of the efforts of all the coaching and performance staff and to all of our squad who have been outstanding in their approach to the new season.
“Whilst I couldn’t make the warm weather camp in Lanzarote, I am aware it was again a huge success and has set the bar even higher than we did at this stage last year. As Adrian says, “winning takes care of everything” and with success comes more pressure but we are also very mindful of the other elements that are extremely important to the club to ensure Super League status with the grading system which will this year be implemented for real.
“It has never been more important to bring a friend and convince others to ‘be the roar’. We finished with a sell out at the end of last season, and it would be remarkable if we could achieve that for the opening game.
“As I have said many times it’s easier for 4,000 people to each convince one person than one person convincing 4,000 people. If all our current members were to achieve that we would be sold out and what a message that would be.”
