| Quote: Lord of the Idiots "nantwich-I'm genuinely not sure if you're being ironic or not, such is the flippancy and tone in your post, particularly the term 'rot' in reference to the majority of the season.
I purchased a season ticket this season, and I don't feel pitiful or that I've been ripped off. In fact, in the regular season we've seen much improved performances, as the fact that Leeds finished 3rd suggests. The table doesn't lie-Leeds have been the third best team this year, meaning they have been pretty consistent results wise, which is all you can really ask for.
As a matter of fact, the only truly bad part of the season was in May, when we lost four in a row
I don't want to pick fault with you being a newbie and all but the thread is about season ticket holders, ergo home games.
So lets look at our home games this yearCatalan Win – [ihardly what you’d call exciting[/i
HKR Loss – [ione of, if not the most boring games of rugby I have the displeasure of watching[/i
Wakefield Win – [inarrowly beating the team that ultimately finished 12th[/i
Widnes Win – [iletting the team that finished 10th put 28 points past us[/i
Castleford Win - [iletting the team that finished 11th put 24 points past us[/i
Saints Loss – [ishould have won but not a bad game all in all[/i
London Win – [idrubbing of the bottom place team, hardly an exciting game[/i
Warrington Win – [igreat game, an exciting and narrow victory[/i
Bradford Draw – [iOnce again a really exciting and good to watch game[/i
Wigan Win – [ibest home game of the season, one really worthy of purchasing a season ticket[/i
Huddersfield Loss – [igetting hammered by a team that had nailed us on every aspect of our game plan[/i
Salford Win – [ihammered the team that finished second to last[/i
Hull Win – [ifirst game of the season was the only thing that made this game exciting, Hull never really turned up.[/i
If I were not a season ticket holder and had the ability of hindsight I would have probably only paid to watch 50% of the home games this year.
Several posters have said that they no longer purchase season tickets, instead picking and choosing the games they want to attend - after this year I am starting to see why.

| Quote: Fat Boy "Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think your analogy (above) is a little flawed.
I agree that if you were to go to a restaurant and have a bad meal then you'd be unlikely to go back, but if you were to regularly go to the same restaurant but sometimes you were served a two Michelin Stared meal and others a BigMac and fries but you'd never know which you were to get it'd be a tad frustrating.
With restaurants, cinemas, holidays etc you can pre-empt the value you are going to get to a certain extent. For example it'd be unlikely that you'd be served a poor meal at the Fat Duck or spend £3K on a cruise aboard the QEII and I doubt you'd dirty sheets on your bed.
With the Rhinos you never know which team is going to turn up, one day it's Côte de bœuf, the next Findus Crispy Pancakes.'"
For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger. |

Huddersfield Gnats, I like that very very good.
I do feel cheated to be fair, £8.50 for me and my 2 kids to watch the Gnats (League Winners 2013) |

I think that Huddersfield were ok to put out the team they did. They'd earned it by claiming top with a game to spare, the only problem I'd have had with it is if the Bulls were still in for a playoff spot as it wouldn't be fair to the other teams. But alas it wasn't effecting anybodies league position.

Isn't there already a "supporter" doing this shtick? The OP needs to find some original material.
