Quote: SaintsFan "Given that I pay anything up to £19 to stand on concrete under a hole that drips rain on me I really don't have a problem with the charge, no. But if I did have a problem with it, I wouldn't verbally bash up the heads of Quins fans who can do nothing about it and probably feel really embarrassed about it. Also, I wouldn't storm off in a huff, cancelling hotels and God knows what. I thought the idea was to support Saints?
The reaction on here is really embarrassing.'"
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?
That is basically the situation that is being created by Quins here.
If it was Wigan, I would have to think VERY hard about whether to attend the Quins match, because quite simply, you are being ripped off.
This should be an OPTIONAL double-header ticket, not a compulsory one. Mainly because, as stated above, the coaches which are transporting the fans will not arrive in time to get the "benefit" of the additional game that you have been forced to pay for.
Anybody refusing to go because of this, you have my support.
No RL club can afford to alienate fans in this way right now, least of all the club with (probably) the lowest average attendance in the league.
And as to using this scam as a way to massage their average figures for the RFL - They should be ashamed of themselves.
