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.

So tell me. How is whining and berating people on RLFans message board showing backbone exactly?
If I have a problem, I go to the source of the problem. That isn't me or Quins fans or Saints fans or the Saints club. Or indeed anyone that you or I have any influence over whatsoever.
It's easy really. Either those who were planning to go continue to go so as to support the Saints and just make the financial adjustment accordingly, or they don't. I personally see it as spineless and childish to cancel hotel bookings and go off on tantrums over a tenner or a fiver or whatever it is. Bloody ridiculous in fact.
Sure, that's just me and maybe I am in a minority or maybe the majority is a silent one, who knows? But the reaction on this board and the Quins board from Saints fans is just OTT and that's pretty much all I have left to say on the matter.

Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

| It seems bizarre that London RL (I have a problem calling them Quins) have done this, especially as their tickets are usually such good value. I appreciate they may have been forced into it because they ground share (god knows ground sharing affected us in the past!!) but it's also not the first time prices have been jacked up. The grass car park next door put their prices up last year, just because there was a game on at Twickenham the same day. Sure, London RL probably have no jurisdiction over that either, but it does expose the fan to profiteering outside the control of the club.

| As a Saints fan .....I never cease to be amazed at how small minded and fickle some of our so called supporters are. I tell you....if Saints had a couple of bad seasons.....half the people commentating on this issue....wouldn't even go to the home matches. If they are not moaning about Edinburgh...they now moan abouta clever suggestion from Harlequins to have a double header.
I look at the smaller football clubs fans travelling 300 miles to watch a low level of football and you sometimes cannot get our supporters to travel 20 miles.
I treat rugby league as a crusade and fully support any effort by Harlequins to increase their attandance and revenue. I do not like rugby union,but, what do I know.....I've never seen a live match. So 5 of us are going on the 10th April to watch both matches.....not to ridicule a game I've never seen live.....and perhaps chat to the union supporters and try to encourage them to stay for the league match

I wouldn't worry it's a vocal minority having a good old whinge about something. At the end of the day 99% of the people who WERE going to London will still be and you can bet a big chunk of those saying they are not going ( not all before I become PE number 1 for not joining the crying wagon ) probably would not have anyway!

| Quote: gutterfax "
Londons SL team was never about crowds...it was about development and the youngsters you refer to, if you mean the likes of LMS and Clubb, were 10 yrs old when SL started.......they are now international players (if not international standard at the moment). The Club itself has the lowest number of overseas players in SL and is resonsible for over 20,000 youngsters playing the game down here.....
Again, sorry if the double header causes financial strife and I wouldn't blame anyone for just not going TBH....but posters like Loyal Saint here need to look at a much bigger picture rather than the M62 Corridor.......unless you want League to lose players like your young Kyle E to Rugby Union....who continue to dominate the codes internationally and financially. The money being thrown around by the French clubs at the moment would be enough to to tempt any league player.....and until the game expands and becomes truly national, it will never be able to compete internationally....and therefore remain a minority sport.'"
Excellently put sir.

Huddersfield Giants fans paid nothing last week due to hammering the facebook fan site for the Harlequins and everyone receiving free tickets

| Quote: Div "Our away fixture at Quins is a double header with Harlequins RU facing Leeds before our fixture against Quins RL.
Tickets are £25 for both games. If you just want to watch Saints its ............er £25.
What a rip off ! I wouldnt watch the RU if it was in my back garden ! What a con you have to pay for a game you have no intention of watching. The Official Club site says tickets are for both games yet the official club coaches will not arrive in time for the first game !
I noticed that Stevo quoted me in his column in the League Express this morning. He was wrong on one count though I WILL be there for our fixture.
Nice to see he reads The Entertainers though.
