London Harlequins RL struggle to get a couple of thousand in to watch when they charge a tenner.

So charging £25 for a ticket to watch the same old lifeless dross in front of an empty stadium combined with an extra 80 mins watching union isn't going to have them queueing down the M25 is it.

A terrible, terrible idea from a clueless club who are taking their last breath.

Its almost like the people that run Harlequins RL actually WANT the club to fail.

Unbelievable.

Which game is being played first? If it's the union I doubt many of them will hang around to watch the League, especially if they lose.

I,ve just found out from the clubs that the Harlequins are charging Student Prices of £20 whether you watch 1 game or 2. There is a 2 hour gap between the union game finishing and league starting, so if you arrive early for the league game expect car transport/parking delays.
It does make you wonder whether they really want league down there. Are they treating League with contempt by "shoe horning" a rugby league game after a re-arranged union fixture game, which was originally a league fixture.

The most tickets will probably be sold to union fans so maybe thats what they usually charge for a Harlequins RU game.

Tickets for Quins RU range from £20 to £40, with the majority of tickets behind the goal priced at £25. www.union.quins.co.uk/tickets/prices.php Hardly the con of the century is it?

AS I HAVE POSTED ON THE SAINTS BOARD


So there you have it....either pay the £25 or let know Quins RL what you think by not turning up.

I'm not going, doesn't sound fun. Quins won't be around come the next round of franchise applications anyway, they're already gone.

Really.....how so?
I am all for debating why they might not get a licence next time around, but if they are already gone, surely someone should tell David Hughes before he forks out any more money. Gone you say? Please expand.
It is my considered opinion that they will score the same points as last time, so unless the good citizens of Wakey, Cas and Salford start laying bricks NOW, they will be in the same company. Then, with Cas and Wakey finishing above us....it's between us and Salford........and we have finished above them last year and there's a long way to go this year. Even if they do get a nice new stadium......leigh will tell you what that counts for.
Sorry.......but the RFL would not be stupid enough to already have made a decision and told you saddened....and I am not saying it won't happen, just that it hasn't happened yet.

I'm yet to see you make a single post I agree with in the slightest on the subject of franchises. This one is terrible, has the decision already been made then?

Remind me, how much is it to sit in the main stand at KR?

Sounds like Paul "i can bankrupt anybody in 12 months" Blanchard is working his magic again....

no...sounds like BOO HOO....Dixons want more for that 30" plasma than Tescos....bloody cheek....
get a grip. I backed the OP, but FFS.........it's not even the clubs fault

Sorry for the reference to st Helens moaning about the price of goods when we all know....just like the union stereotype of tarquins that they are all theiving scum
WRONG WRONG WRONG......vote with your feet, or complain, but stop being keyboard warriors..FFS......it might be time to do credit card membership on these boards....just to prove someone is posting an "experience" rather than what their grandad told them.

the main stand at Saints is sold out pretty much every week - suggesting that the pricing for that area of the ground is correct.

be interesting to see how many Saints fan travel down, how many Quins RL fans there are, and how many RU fans sit around for 2 hours waiting for the RL.

It does seem a strange policy though to increase prices when demand is so low - even with the RU game to squeeze in first.
