So much dross this season in front of paying spectatators is IMO hard to excuse. I understand it but cannot condone it.'"
Why does attending a game mean you've been "sucked in". Maybe the problem is that some are unrealistically expecting a performance like the Wigan one on a regular basis. I do wonder just how much sport some on here have actually played, if any. It's not that simple or easy to be at the best everytime you play, especially in team sports like RL when it requires 17 performers (with 17 others trying to stop you doing it).
If Leeds play badly then I feel disappointed for the players because I do know they can play better (but I do realise its not that straight forward to do) and its them for whom its more than a few hours hobby on a Friday night. It's everyday of every year until they retire, they're the ones who spend the hours practising, spend the hours fitness/conditioning/strength training, spend the very hard hours overcoming the injuries......that people then feel bad for themselves because they spent something along the lines of an hour or two wage instead of staying home is quite tragic.
Like I've said previously, if the risk of not possibly getting 'value' on £20 is too much for you then perhaps sport isn't right for some people.

Post about Leeds season ticket holders and second post in mentions Huddersfield's fans WTF?
Giants season tickets very good value and highly recommended, maybe a few Rhinos fans should come to watch a team who will try week in week out during the season.
They could then buy tickets for the Rhino playoff games, alternatively save your money altogether and don't buy a worthless Rhino season ticket and just but tickets for the play offs.
It will probably do the trick and give the club a kick up the so they realise fans would like to see the team play weekly not just for 4 games, walking all over the season ticket holders at the moment!!!

After the way Huddersfield Gnats cheated RL fans this weekend no thanks.Oh and by the way you have still got the reputation as bottler's.Quite a bit to do yet before you lose that.I will say it again it was disgraceful the way HUDDERSFIELD GNATS treated RL fans this weekend and I'm not referring to GNATS fans because you have none

| I started supporting Leeds about the same time as Juan Cornetto although I only got an ST in the 1970s.I have lived in USA for personal reasons since 2011 and have not been able to get home this year I had been doing two visits a year 4 games.Next year I intend to spend more time at home and call it homesickness or sentiment,but I am seriously thinking of getting an ST for next year.I know I will lose on the deal I will miss more than I will see,but I have supported Leeds through every stage of my life,even through the bad times.Right now I miss the after game pint on a friday

| I don't pity Leeds supporters ,season ticket holders or casual supporters.Leeds have had fantastic success in recent years.Compare that with supporters of clubs such as Wakefield and Bradford who are struggling for cash to pay players' wages.Most of the lower clubs are hoping to find a wealthy benefactor such as Koukash to turn up to help them out.

We didnt, we bought groupon deals that were 2 for £17
and it wasn't a handful, we were stood side on rather than behind the posts and those of us who did go went knowing what side we were putting out.

| Nothing to pity, I've spent money on far worse things than a season ticket to watch rugby league.

| I don't buy a season ticket because I expect them to play like robots and win every week. I don't buy a season ticket because I am loyal to the club and think I should. I buy a season ticket because I actually enjoy going to watch a game of rugby played by my local premier team. A season ticket is the most economical method of paying for tickets and that's it.
If you feel you don't want to go because you don't think it is entertaining rugby, that's fine, it's your money and you can spend it how you like. If you're not enjoying it, why would you come?
I don't really see an argument in this. If you think season ticket holders are fools then you obviously don't enjoy watching a game for the purpose of watching a game. If you only buy it for loyalty and lambast those that don't, you're probably one of the vulgar idiots that swears at the top of his voice all match because the linesman is wearing that 'non-manly colour of pink'.
Is there nobody else on here that goes because they enjoy an evening out watching rugby with friends/family, if we play well and/or win then it's a bonus?

Couldn't agree more!

| 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.
