Leigh RMI are ready to share their gate money with Exeter City when the teams meet on the 22nd November. This will help both clubs financially by encouraging more Exeter fans to come to the game.

Usually, the home team takes all the gate money at matches, apart from allowable expenses. But in the aim of getting more away fans at the game, Leigh have agreed to give the Exeter City Supporter's Trust £2.00 for each person into Hilton Park after the first 600.

The Railwaymen's average attendance this year is 460, ranging from 348 against Barnet to 849 against Halifax Town. This stipulation will almost certainly boost the attendance of the game well out of these ranges and financially benefit both clubs.
