Have to admit, haven't been to KR since 2003 play-offs........it was bad then, god knows what it's like now. I paid £2.50 back then for a pint of Carlsberg from a van.........not sure what they charge now.
Comparing TW2 with KR is like comparing a Bentley Continental and a Model-T with no wheels.

....and we attracted 17,500 to our hole last weekend whilst the posh TW2 had about 1000 on despite the ' official' attendance. KR is a far better place to watch a game at least we can stand up........and in a year or so we will have our new state of the art stadium with 18,000 capacity and terracing, and it will be ours and there will be no RU on it.

| I do think some Saints fans have gone OTT over this. It isn't Quins' fans' fault so why are my fellow fans having a go on here? Surely they should be emailing Quins RL?

In many ways I prefer KR to the Stoop, yes it's a sty, but it's a RL sty, and always loved going there, despite being tonked most times [Moran hat trick night excepted] anyways back on topic....

| Forgive my ignorance but I have done no research on this, but are the Union supporters [home and away] also being charged extra for having a League game to watch?

| The £25 is the usual price for a Union ticket.

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

As others have said I have paid £24 for a stand ticket at Knowsley Road, then you struggle to look through a glass window at the end of the stand which has never been cleaned! - talking about unwashed, I was born in St Helens!

I think you are missing the point.
Can you answer this then please.
Why are Saints supporters expected to pay £10 more than supporters from other clubs for the same facilities?
The "double header" is no excuse when we only want to see the RL game.
Would you want Saints to charge £10 more for you to visit than they charge other clubs?

Why do you think that Quins fans will know the answer to your questions? Shouldn't you be emailing Quins RL instead of giving fans earrache when they may be just as in the dark as you about it?
It's so embarrassing to read the way some Saints fans have reacted to this, with storming off in a huff and cancelling hotels and God knows what. I thought the idea was to support Saints not get on the backs of Quins fans over something they have no say in?
I'm still going, no matter what the price. And because I'm going on a club coach I won't arrive in time for the RU match anyway. So what I'm effectively doing is paying the equivalent of sitting on one of our hideously uncomfortable wooden seats in a dump of a ground and for that price I'm going to a much nicer ground with friendly home fans and supporting my team. I'm doing the trip in one day.

Well I'm glad you don't mind paying more than the price quoted on the Quins official site we personally travel hundreds of miles supporting Saints and spend a considerable amount of money doing so, but I do not expect to pay more than the listed price for any game.
would you buy something in a shop that was ticketed at £10 and when you got to the till it was £20? I know I wouldn't.
As for running down the ground of the team you say you support (although from other posts it is obvious you would rather be with Quins or Crusaders!!) then why don't you attend a club that has facilities that you consider comfortable.
KR may be old and tired but at least it is ours and not owned by club from another sport like Quins , Crusaders and a few others and our new stadium will be for Rugby League.
As for posting on here I cannot find an Email address for Quins RL but will be contacting them.

| 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.
