" I CAN ACCEPT FAILURE, BUT I WON'T ACCEPT NOT TRYING " - Michael Jordan:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42633.jpg



This season, even though I'm still in full time education, my season ticket will go up this year to a student ticket, meaning it will cost me £95 now and that's without away games. Ontop of this i will need a new shirt and transport to the games, which will cost extra!, How do the club expect a college student to pay these sort of prices?
The club are wanting to increase the attendances, and in my opinion this is not the way to go about it as quite a lot of the fans, are students.
Finally, and this years grand final, the RFL are classing students, as concessions therefore it is affordable, so why can't our club do this?
Surely, to improve crowds, we should be lowering prices of season tickets rather than raising them?

It's the equivalent of £6.80 a match. In student terms thats about three pints. Do you really find that unreasonable?

Yes i do saying we only get the home tickets.
My point is, how do they expect college students to pay for it, but they don't expect 16 and unders to pay for it icon_confused.gif

whether its 3 pints or not is irrelevant!,
by saying this you are presuming young fans are just wanting to drink, when some of us actually just wana go watch the match and support the team.
Whether students or not we care about the club, but were not mugs and we can tell when were being ripped off.
95 pounds for just home matches, when even though were students we may not have an income of our own, is stupid.
The club is meant to bring in the young and keep them, not fob them off as soon as they can.
and before anyone says "if you dont like it, dont bother" that kind of attitude stinks because theyre shouldnt be that kind of rift between fans.

Right Im not far out of this age bracket and tbh your talking codswallop

Under 16's in the majority cant get part time jobs and don't receive ema.

College Students do in the main receive ema and you should be working a part time job it'll help you when looking for jobs later in life.

I've paid these prices and i've paid for away tickets too; it is doable and all students throughout the country pay the same prices for rugby tickets.

A shirt get it for x-mas.

Your talking nonsense and you need to budget your money. icon_thumb.gif

I'm sorry but £95 is cheap. The pints was a cheap shot but still.

Is there an option to pay monthly like with the full price ticket?

Why would you need a new shirt ? Keep the cost down and use your old one.

"I know guys that pay £25 for a facial up north" "If that season review DVD was an A-level entry, it'd fail":15996.jpg



Student season tickets have never had away games included. When I got them - back in 2000-2003 - I kept money back for away games, got lifts with friends, didn't buy a shirt as I didn't 'need' one (got them as Christmas/Birthday presents instead), and yeah, had a job throughout College and Uni so I could spend it on things I enjoyed (like going to games.....)

HAHAHAHHAHA

This is the funniest comment ive ever seen..... icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

No one does this extra 5 hours per subject a week no one... and I can guarantee you won't either (and yes it doesnt matter who you are)

I was advised to do loads of extra hours at college / uni per subject did I do it no, did any I know do this no.

how long do you need to be a student to learn how to say "do you want fries with that"
