My missus' is a season ticket holder in the East stand, but after the deathly silence last Sunday we'll be going in the South stand for Cats. There's more atmosphere in mi front room watching the video.

They should close the West and North stands for this fixture - at least then the cameras will not be showing even more empty seats.

Surely the North will be shut, Cats aren't going to bring anyone are they! The west wont be due to hospitality seats.

Correct, the North Stand is closed on Sunday.

Just for clarity Matt, who has set the prices for the matches, Wigan or the RFL?

This is what he PM'd me last week:

Believe it's a balance between the two - the RFL are happy for clubs to operate with their normal pricing policies (hence why Wire are more expensive) but this season they aren't keen on any discounts on normal prices apart from the family tickets (which they push for every play offs).

I still think its a massive own goal to charge "normal" prices for fixtures that are over and above the regular season. We should be looking to attract people, not give them a reason not to attend. 500 family tickets is a start, but what about the childless couples, the OAPs and the single people, many of whom have taken a pay cut this year - what are the club and/or the RFL doing to get them down to the game?

Agreed between the two was my understanding but I've got absolutely no idea how Huddersfield have been allowed to reduce their prices so much when it seems literally every other game has been at normal prices. Know nowt more than that!

Behave yourself, if they shut the West where am I going to sit ?



Anyway, cameras arent on the West, thats where they are located, looking at you plebians in the East

I'm a student and I still manage to make the games!

You are correct but I can understand some of the sentiment being expressed. It's a bit like being in a darts and dominoes team, spending your hard earned all year in the same pub and then the landlord charging for the buffet. If I ruled the world, entrance at these games would be no more than a fiver for all season ticket holders and anyone with 10 ticket stubs. Either that or give the same people a free token for pie and a pint/coffee/pop etc. Even a tiny bit of appreciation goes a long way. The way things are being done, it's as if the RL are treating us in the same way the energy companies treat their customers, as cash cows.

There might be a few more 'Catalans' fans than you think.

5693 unavailable seats as at tonight. I'm not sure if thats how many have been sold, or whether some of those seats were never available.

Its hardly an inspiring figure, even if all those seats were actually sold. The take-up of Saints tickets in the latter half of the week was pretty poor, so even an 8,000 crowd may be optimistic.
