Season ticket holders get 10% off at the Oneills shop in Widnes. Tops are usually around the £40 mark so that doesnt bother me.

Biggest rip off is Sky TV. I don't subscribe and never will unless it gets an awful lot cheaper to watch RL or they introduce PPV for games.

£20 for some games just isn’t common sense.
Not when you can have a good night out on the town for less.

Freebies and hustling my friend.
One night I went out with £20 and came home with £24 thanks to a bit of the old ticket touting. Another night I was sipping either Laurent Perrier or Dom Perignon for free. Can't remeber which one because I was too busy having the rare chance of living it up!

On a more serious note a majority of long term season ticket holders are ripped off when people can obtain free tickets for a majority of matches when their simply just know someone at the club whenever its a player or backroom staff.
Whilst I agree with corporate ticketing. I find getting tickets off the club because your a friend or a relative pretty wrong when a majority have to fork out a lot (to them) to watch a rugby league match.
I doubt its a big problem though it reaks of capitalism.

It may be different when they move to the new stadium, but I think Saints is expensive for what's on offer.
£19 adult entrance allows me to stand on a crumbling terrace; visit the toilet and p**s against a wall (no urinals, or hand washing facilities); and purchase overpriced, inedible burgers and pies.
Admittedly I get to watch Saints, but on the downside I have to watch some other team as well.

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I know Hull give a £10 disount voucher on merchandise with season passes. It's not much but better than nowt. Anyway no one forces you to buy a shirt. It's like any luxury purchase, if you can afford it then buy it, if not then tough.'"
Hull used to give a discount, that then stopped and they gave away a free hat - season ticket holders hat, that then stopped when free entrance was given to the rd4 challenge cup games. So Hull have not given a discount in a number of years, if it has then I have missed out for some reason. |

I don't consider it a payment for the shirt as a garment. It's more a contribution to the club for which you get something back.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
