Or, so I don't have to sit next to you.
Priceless.

There aren't any free places to park near the ground. People travel from all over the South to watch Quins, not just London. Same goes for Harlequins RU, seeing as both teams are the most Southerly option in both sports.

Thanks for the little secret, its the first time I've heard that one, not that I actually managed to sit in all 4 stands at our opening match as Harlequins vs St Helens, including in the media seats in the Lexus. Good luck trying that this season, I struggled to find 3 seats together in AG at the first game of the season but what do I know, I only support the side.

I thought you could park for free at weekends on side streets that usually have meters (or residents permits)?

Not near the ground, no. Permit holders only, 7 days a week. Even if there were some convienient side streets, it would be nigh on impossible to find a space, as surprisingly, residents park their cars in their streets.

But lets say I am this Quins RU fan, living.......I dunno...Richmond..... who is thinking of taking out this offer that was emailed to me (most of which didn't apply anyway because the Wakefield game had already happened!)

I would catch the bus anyway.

Is this still a good offer at over £300 sheets?

Does the fact that this offer is e-mailed to people not tell you something? E-mail reaches people all over the South, for whom car parking is an excellent addition to the package.

If you live in Richmond, £300 for a season ticket is nothing to you anyway. But that's a different discussion. If you don't want to spend £300 then buy a lesser season ticket. Some people like to have the best seat, and are happy to pay for it. The other benefits are nice too. I'm really not sure what you are rattling on about tbh.

What im trying to say Dave is that the 'offer' ('Pretty good stuff from the marketing team' according to the OP) that Quins RL emailed out to people offering them this 'bargain' isn't really a bargain at all when you pick it apart.

Buying the season ticket represents an approx 33ish% saving if one were to attend all home games and sit in the Gold seats. And for those that travel by car, which, although you refuse to accept it, is a decent proportion of our support, another £65ish of car park savings. And all the other little things are simply a bonus that the club don't have to offer but they do anyway. Why don't you think thats a bargain?

Do you mean 'post match access to the 'Jesters Lounge' which I assume is the Quins bar where they sell overpriced drinks and food?

Or do you mean some of the pre season stuff.......that if I bought a discounted season ticket AFTER the Wakefield game would not apply anyway because it had already been and gone?

Post match access to the Jesters lounge includes meeting and talking to the players.

Although I don't have a gold season ticket myself I can see the appeal of the £65 quid car parking saving. Last thing you'd want after a defeat (or a win) is to find your car has been towed away! Most of our support are scattered across the South East (approx 120 mile round trip to get to last week's game for myself, one of my group was up from Bournemouth so even further for him) rather than locals and i think it would be fair to say that with public transport not always lending itself well to a trip to the Stoop (weekend engineering work, no tube - ? Richmond closest at end of District Line) a lot our supporters will drive to matches as its often a lot less hassle.Don't get me wrong 'cos I'm not meaning to 'big up' the club but I don't see why a 33% discount on the best seats with £65 quids worth of free parking is considered by one poster on here to be a bad thing.

Chosen to ignore the rest of my post? Do you see the point of buying a £300 season ticket now or not?

Which Super League grounds don't sell overpriced drinks and food btw? Our prices are in line with the local economy.

You can all stop talking to it now

PZ your looking for an argument and you are really getting into the nitty gritty to try and be right but you insist on buying the most expensive season so be my guest. give us your money but dont turn up to the games
