The interest alone on this size of loan would be almost £34k per week. Should the two clubs play 30 home games in total that's going to work out at about £59k per game in interest to find without thinking about repaying the capital. A couple of internationals and CC games isn't going to help a great deal. and do England RU really have a great source of income? www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyu ... tfall.html £83/seat in premium seats! How many people will be prepared to pay for that?

Seems £25 is the standard admission price for the Union club. Unbelievable! They even have seating areas costing £40!!!!!!! I will never understand why people want to support goal kicking costests.

Fair play to Saints fans who are boycotting. I would do the same, even though it would be hard to miss a match.

What a disgrace that is! Union makes my eyes bleed its that bad. I hope they all boycott so they dont try it again. I cant believe paople actually pay £40 to watch that crap, its unbelievable!

Agreed - But even more stupidly, Quins are doing this with a match that's on the telly !!!!!!!

Are they utterly stupid?

I would think that much like us with Mr Whelan and the 'home' playoff match vs Bradford that Quins RL have very little say in this as they are being made to do it by their landlords who have arranged for their rescheduled game to happen before the pre-arranged RL game.

Yes, would be the answer.
