Define the word 'watch' when referring to Magic Weekend. Last year I sat through all seven games, but I didn't necessarily 'watch' every second.

Why are people STILL thinking it's just about the price? Saints fans are being shafted sideways and the Quins club don't even care.

£24 matchday price for the stand. But please be aware that it is generally sold out.

I wonder what the price will be at their new all seater stadium next year?

Why is that relevant?

Saints fans are taking issue with paying two thirds more than everyone else in SL due to another sport playing a curtain raiser that most travelling by coach won't even have arrived in time to see. It's the principle, not the actual ticket price.

If Saints ever charge Quins fans two thirds more than everyone else in SL I'll help you out with what our usual prices are.

The fact that Union fans are getting a free game, whilst league fans (of BOTH clubs) are paying more than usual for the honour of watching yawnion just tops it off.

We just don't discount the price when we play them, they add £1 on that they claim goes to charity when they play us

Quins fans (or potential fans) are being shafted to a greater extent IMO. I don't care how much they charge Saints fans, its not that much more than other clubs charge for inferior facilities - but how many potential RL fans in the London area who want to watch The Entertainers of RL will be put off by the price hike?

The best thing all Saints fans can do is boycott this one fixture if you feel strongly about it.

The team won't need your support anyway, it will be a walkover.

I advise Harlequins fans to do the same too if you want your club to get the message.

What happens for season ticket holders? Who gets the seat?

QRL ST holders in North Stand allocated seating for Leeds game, then revert to their own seat for Saints game [I think]

Like some people are saying its not all about the 66% price increase for this match. Its the fact that this date was fixed as rugby league fixture then the union side of the club ambush the event and disguise it as a double header.

April is often associated with heavy showers, what if the day suffers heavy downpours and the first game of union with line outs, scrums, rucks and mauls ruins the pitch. Then the sky cameras come along for the league and see no fans in the ground and a bad pitch to play on, a good advertisment for rugby league that is.

I feel sorry for Harlequins League who don,t have any identity and don,t have any control on there fixtures and ticketing of the game. The sooner the league club find another location the better, because Harlequins Union will NEVER allow the league side to prosper as the diminishing crowds this year are proving.

Can you ever imagine Wigan/Wigan Athletic....Hull/HullCity......Huddersfield/Huddersfield Town.....Crusaders/Wrexham coming to this type of arrangement....NO.... so why should it happen to Harlequins League.

That is stupid and impossible to do. That would mean both union and League fans changing seats after the union game.

So in actual fact Union have gatecrashed the league match.
Let union ST.holders keep their own seats while League ST holders have to move to another seat for the day.
On top of that they are charging League fans for a game most won't be able to see.

Because it is.
They can cover the whinging all they want, it is about money.
