| Away fans from teams like saints have made their attendances respectable in recent years, great way to repay them.

indeed! This "offer" is as interesting to me as a double header at your gaff watching Wigan athletic first, but making us pay £25 for the privilege

| Quote Saint Simon="Saint Simon"I guess you mean us?
If you're getting into that debate, I think one of Wakey/Cas should go, there are far too many West yorks teams in the comp as it is. I think top flight RL in London is vital for the game, but £25 to watch a union game that you'll miss anyway is just daft.'"
It has been done wrong Saint Simon I don't argue that, but remember you can pay £24 for a stand seat at Knowsley Road, is that just daft for any away supporters? it is only £1 CHEAPER than everyone is complaining about? - we Quins RL have not won over many Quins RU supporters, I wonder in fact if the name has in fact damaged us, while London Broncos was a more general name for a Capital club, I just think the complaints have been a little OTT about a £1 dearer stand seat.

I think you're missing the point of the complaint to be honest.
Every other SL side's supporters will be paying £15 at the Stoop. Saints fans will be paying £25 to include a match they won't even be there to see, and a sport that most actively dislike for well documented reasons.
How much the tickets cost in relation to Saints tickets is irrelevant, it's the fact that Saints fans are being asked to pay two thirds more than every other away fan will, to miss a game of rugby union.

| Quote Pie Eyed="Pie Eyed"So would you be "happy" if Saints told you that they were going to host St Helens Town FC a couple of hours before the Wigan match on Good Friday, and that you will have to pay £10 more on top of your seat price, whether you want to watch the football or not?'"
If it meant watching Saints then I would do it, yes, and without whinging. I'd wonder at it, obviously, but I hate soccer with a passion so I would probably wonder about it more than most. But I wouldn't moan about it. I want to support Saints and so that is what I would do.

So all this whinging is about a principle? That's even worse! Saints supporters cancel their hotel bookings, choose not to support their team, write 'snotty of St Helens' emails to QuinsRL and berate Quins supporters over a bleedin principle?
Spare me.

Depends whether you think "bleedin principles" are important I guess. I do, a few others seem to think that way too. You're very much entitled to think differently, so consider yourself spared as requested. Its not just Saints fans though, Quins RL fans are being asked to pay extra too remember and a fair few are equally miffed.
My gripe is why should RL fans (Saints AND Quins) have to pay an extra £10 for a union game they will in all likelihood not get to see even if they wanted to due to coach times etc? Especially since union fans get an extra game at no additional cost to their usual ticket? Do you not see why that might annoy some people to the point that they want to voice their displeasure?
You claim that you wouldn't be miffed if Saints ramped up prices by a tenner and put a union game on before a RL game - fair play. I find that exceedingly hard to believe, but I have no reason to doubt you. I know I'd be very miffed indeed.

Why am I missing the point when I have clearly said I agree, it is just that I think it is all getting a little OTT, it is relevant the price of tickets at Knowlsey Road, it is too expensive for a rugby league match!

If you are quite happy with Harlequins Union ambushing a l eague fixture and running roughshod over Harlequins League then OK its your minority preference. Its about standing your ground for rugby league, Imagine Harlequins Union using this opportunity as a club finance model and turning into a trend. Whinging is the only way of showing dissatisfaction over the situation............... where as the minority like yourself don,t seem to show any back bone.

sorry.......no excuse but I was bladdered........
as I said in earlier posts, I back saints fans for being annoyed but there really isn't anything anyone can do about it. I don't blame those fans who aren't coming down now......
once again, sorry for the drunken outburst.
