Quote: SouthStander.com "I think that the Super League needs to take a long hard look at the admission prices that the clubs are charging. They are pricing people out of attending games, particularly the hardcore 'home and away' brigades, who may be picking and choosing their games. It's a game of the people and if they want full stands then it needs to be priced accordingly.'"
Agree with this. £60 for me, the Mrs and our 5 year old lad at Widnes on Sunday is far too much IMO (this isn't a dig at Widnes by the way, as that price is par for the course nowadays). I'm in a fortunate position where we can afford that type of money, but I'm also on a really good wage - if prices had been that type of equivalent back in the 80's, there's no way my Mum and Dad would have been able to afford it, and me and my family would have likely been lost to the game forever.
£60 plus petrol, food, drink etc is an expensive do for a couple of hours entertainment. I can certainly see why families would stay at home and just watch the TV games.
