In your opinion. What about those who might think up to £50 a ticket in the midst of the biggest depression since, well, the depression is a bit steep? As for the RFL's wonderful marketing, playing England v France in a superleague desert like Doncaster seems strange to me if crowd numbers are all that matters. Add to that the fact that for some reason the rugby league diehards up here - who are the actual people that keep the game afloat - have to make a 400 mile round trip to see the first match between the only 2 teams worth watching and IMO the RFL's marketing could well be questioned.
As for me, I won't be going to the DW because I like to do it prawn sandwich style. A 2.30 kick off entails a lunch rather than an evening meal, so no thanks. If the game had been an evening KO (RFL Marketing?) I would have gone.
Just thought I'd show a different point of view....

Of course you could pay £20 if you think £50 is a bit steep? Compared to other sports (Football, Cricket and Union) £20 or even £50 for a test match is excellent value. |

I would be surprised if there are any £20 seats unsold. And I disagree that £50 to watch a 1 sided battering (please let me be wrong!) is "excellent" value.
Why couldn't the RFL have taken the risk of choosing much bigger stadia with a 50% reduction in prices? |

There are still £20 tickets remaining. And the half 2 kick off allows the game to be shown live on terrestrial TV, advertising and exposure that, quite literally, money can't buy. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

And the majority of ones who moan it is too expensive are the ones who will spend £50+ on a night out around town p*$$!ng it up against the wall.

Not the way I was looking at it, but also very true. |

Because they know that a significant amount of the RL community can't put their club loyalties to one side for a few weeks and get behind the national team. It seems all that people can do is whinge and moan about how "we're going to get battered" or "he's picked the wrong squad" or "whats the point" etc etc.
What's happend to RL fans in this country? We've become a nation of whiney pu55ies. |

RU fans are prepared to pay big prices for a run of the mill league game - see above -but there are people on here whingeing about ticket prices for the chance to see England take on the Aussies in RL...
Don't get me wrong, I have every sympathy with people who can't afford to go and I do mean that sincerely, but to ask the game to undersell itself is another example of the lack of ambition that leaves RL in this country hamstrung while other sports race ahead...
