I have just had a lengthy conversation with a lady at Quins who said "Harlequins are an all inclusive Rugby league and union club and the majority of fans realise that this is fantastic value for money, there is no way we would consider reducing the price because it is your choice to watch or not watch both games in fact it is not a Rugby League game but a days event"

When I pointed out people might choose not to attend because of the price she said "It was bad that people called Rugby Union kick and Clap" and they should enjoy both games.

Is that actually quoted word for word?

Pretty much what I got, they won't drop the price, if league fans don't want the tickets then they'll sell them to union fans, don't like it then tough was the attitude on the phone.

Yes I wrote it down as she spoke it.

She actually said "Harlequins are very proud that our supporters support both Union and League and the majority think that these tickets are fantastic value for money"

Have just sent off my email. I have asked where they get the evidence to support their claim of this "majority".

which is true in the respect that the majority will be Union supporters who appear to pay that price every week, so in effect they are getting a free RL game.

Anybody remember how they worked it out for the Huddersfield double header?

Dumb question then.

You know something? There is no way I could afford an overnight stay in a hotel down south (or indeed up north). Yet I am not whinging about this. You, however, clearly [ican[/i afford to spend a night in a hotel but [iare[/i whinging! You really need to get a grip as you sound hysterical and I sincerely hope that whatever you have said to anyone at Quins is not taken to represent all Saints fans.

Probably so but worth a try.

Am I the only one who just wants to go and spoil their game beforehand?!

I bet if Wigan charged you £10 more than Leeds fans with no justification for a visit to the JJB you would be up in arms.
