I know that Gutterfax has already mentioned it and I appreciate that some Saints fans may be annoyed at the additional cost, but for what it is worth quite a few Quins RL fans took a hit when last seasons away fixture at Catalan was changed......4 of us that were intending to go to the Saturday game cancelled when it was changed to Sunday and lost £500 in the process......but I do not recall any Quins fans wanting the Catalans CEO`s head on a stick or Catalan being accused of ripping us off. In this instance we `tenants` do not have control of the ground and ticketing on the day....so it would be appreciated if the `rip off` accusations were directed at Quins RU and not the RL side.

You can hang around the A&E at Prince Charles afterwards too. What an evening!

Did you get all your money back for the cancelled hotel room?
Where did you originally decide to stay?

Could they not issue-

Red tickets for the RU game (& RL game)-£25 cannot be used to enter the ground after the union game has finished to prevent handing them on

Blue tickets for the RL game-£15 to be used 4:15 PM onwards

Season tickets get both which they have sorted anyway.

I'd pay £40 to sit it crap seats just to watch my club.

£25 is no problem at all.

In all honesty there also seems to be some underlying Union hatred on this thread. I don't go and watch the Union team play live, but I watch on Sky and keep up to date with their news. So if I was to be a netural here...then I'd have to admit that they have got some pretty useful and skillful players. The match will be entertaining, mainly because at the time of the game Leeds will be fighting to avoid relegation and Quins are in a mid table position where European qualification is a possibility. So the match will be a tense encounter with a good atmosphere. I understand that there are people on here that are so far gone on their hatred for Union that they are completely unwilling to watch it, but its not like the club are ripping us off...2 games of top tier rugby (of each code) is something in the World that only Quins (other than Leeds now) can offer...has anyone thought of that?! £25 for a whole day isn't that bad...how much would a premiership football match, ticket to Wimbledon, ticket to a sporting final etc cost? Hey, if anything going to the Union match will give you the experience of one thing a League match won't...and that is filled stadium! Only and before I get the "slaps" for posting a balanced point I am infact a league fan, I just have taken the blinkers off long ago and can now proudly say I can enjoy Quins and top tier rugby all year round......why not join me, just an idea!

Yup. There's also some underlying anti-expansionist feeling on this thread too! (At least from the northern contingent anyway)

Alas, parochialism of one kind or another is alive and kicking!

The fact of the matter is that Quins RU or RL are using all means at their disposal to try and persuade Quins RL and Saints RFL fans to part with more money than they need to in order to watch a Superleague fixture.
Why? No idea! but it smacks of desperation

Yup, and the joke of it is, that when the subject of getting more bums on seats raises it's head once in a while everybody always goes on about the Union supporters and why don't they want to experience a League match, but, god forbid many League supporters will actively think about going the other way and experiencing a Union game at the same club.

Sometimes you really do despair of this sport and some of it's supporters, and we wonder why it never gets better exposure than it does and struggles to get known outside of any heartlands area.

Had a look at the seating arrangement for this game and is very nearly a sell out in 3 stands. Lets say Leeds bring a couple of hundred and Saints a Thousand then the ground will be full. I really hope the club rl are heavily marketing to the Union crowd on the deal and be very imaginative for once.

.....and do you think the will

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr probably not but I live in hope that one day a breakthrough can be made.

I tried looking at the news archive and the articles relating to this couldn't be found - other stuff could
