Quote domthebull="domthebull"look at the topic about the programme notes against widnes, if they are doing underhand things like this like not sending tickets so we can have a 10% cut and are one of the sides hoping to profit from our non existence by taking both fans and players I am not sure i want to share my hard earned cash with MR Davey...
The boycott was suggested by another fan.
Not 100 % convinced as I hate missing games but I would have to book an annual leave day as well as pay the money in and im thinking I may choose to sit it out. I have missed probably 4 games in four years including home,away and friendlies, have been to france each of those years and am already booked for this years trip, have trekked to wales, scotland and london so I dont miss for no reason but this could have a few points..
1. points out to super league we will not just be bullied.
2. last years corresponding fixture was 9,466, yesterday for a game against one of the big sides recorded as 5,822 around 3000 fans would be a big stand (aware not all would follow boycott). say 2000 away fans at £20 = £40,000 not bad amount to miss - maybe we could put the £20 towards paying off a debt? again showing our support and passion but also showing a new owner that we dont expect the world from them?
Thoughts?'"
Here is the second 'bite' numbnuts.
The away fans from the bulls has been nearer 1200 over the last couple of years (which is something the giants would love to be able to take to games) and the average £ per ticket will be closer to £10/11 taking into account concessions and free for u12s. But 12K is still a tidy sum.
Was told the Giants were holding onto tickets pending the RFL takeover at the request of the RFL. There is no reason the giants would not send advanced purchase tickets. But i suppose a nasty Ken Davy thread is what some posters need atm.
