Haven't a clue.

But that is not the point is it though. The point is that a lot (if not the majority) of teachers are only doing the job as they could not get a role in private industry.

Really? I would love to see your reference material which support this. Are you basing your view on "those who can't, teach"?

A friend of mine from school went through GCSEs, lowest mark A. A-Levels, all As. Degree 1st Class. He then chose to become a teacher directly from Uni without looking at work outside of teaching. Do you think he would have failed to get a role? Maybe he is a statistical blip, but then I look at my wife. She has a Masters Degree and is very succesful in work but looks back on life and wishes that she had considered becomming a teacher and not because of lack of oppertunity.

why?.....people want the best deal they can get.

My debate on ticket prices has been sabotaged by some arrogant individual talking down to everyone about his PhD?!! If you are an academic you havent referenced or backed up your argument very well at all and need to provide some objectivity to balance it out, however you will already know this....

Why shouldnt students, OAP's and Juniors get cheaper prices? Again back your argument up with evidence!!

Clubs need to provide a price for all markets in order to attract different people of all demographic and socio economic backgrounds in order to maximise revenue. By Saints not doing this they are missing an important segment.

The solution is for all clubs to price according to stadia facilities etc. Angela Powers did a good piece on Boots n All about value for money two years ago.

Back on the original point, I don't see how you can possibly ever have consistent pricing in Rugby League, or any sport for that matter. Every club will be gaining its income through the same channels but in varying degrees, for example Wigan's merchandising may well bring in far more than most teams, our sponsorship will bring in more than most so we can afford a lower ticket price. Elsewhere that income may well have to come primarily through tickets hence the higher price.

BTW I'm 6'15" 22st 19ounces and built like a brick outhouse and have 4 PhD's and an LSD. I also have a neighbour who wouldn't get out of bed for £52k but that's cos he's a lazy .

I agree, unless all stadia were built on the same value land, with the same costs and same revenue then I just don't see how this would work unless a salary cap like Americal Football has was implemented.

Who would like to pay the same at all games knowing that the larger clubs have to subsidise the smaller clubs? Given the majority of fans don't travel it's not something that most even care about.

Gotta love people who are insecure enough to brag about qualifications and wages to strangers on an internet rugby forum
