You sure? Leeds haven't really travelled in numbers so far this season. |

Yeah to Lancashire teams, they would have taken good support the 18 miles to Huddersfield. |

Then you'd be wrong. Leeds brought around 2500 and wire and bradford around 1500 which by my estimates works out around 7-8000 home supporters.which is still pretty good considering we couldn't get 3000 home fans a few years back, i doubt we will average 9000 at the end of the season but its hardly pathetic if we finish with an average of 7500 again is it? |

For a club with ambitions, yes a 7500 average would be pathetic. You should be looking at hitting at least 10k with the size of the town, the quality stadium and the way the team are playing. |

It's going to cost Saints fans £25.00 to watch their team as they're being forced to pay extra for a ticket that includes a Union game as well.

Appauling treatment. |

I very rarely (if ever) find myself agreeing with Saints fans - Much less feeling sorry for them - but I had to post in support of any of their fans who are now refusing to attend that match.
Being forced to pay an additional £10 on top of the standard ticket price, for a game that not only do you not WANT to watch, but also that you will not be there for anyway, because the official club coaches won't be there in time, is an absolute disgrace.
If it was 2 RL matches (London Skolars plus Quins RL), then they might have a chance.
To put this in perspective for our fans, how would you all feel if Whelan decided that Wigan Athletic would be playing 3 hours before us on the day of (say) the Castleford match, and tickets were going to be a COMPULSORY double-header at £15 more than normal.
That would mean that if you want to watch both matches, it costs £31 to sit behind the sticks.
However, if you only want to watch the RL, it STILL costs £31. (and yes, I know it couldn't happen - it's hypothetical).
That is the situation in London for this match.
It's a disgrace, and worse, it's being done (as far as I can tell) to massage the attendance figures for the RL club, who were given a warning about their lack of numbers before the season started.
By having this "day-long event", they will be able to claim a crowd of around 14,000 for a match that actually has about 5,000 RL fans (if that) in attendance.

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.

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. |
