Sorry but that statement is just laughable...tickets for prestige rugby matches have come down in price relative to earnings and if it's a decision between buying a £20/£30 ticket and putting food on the table at home then you're unlikely to be able to afford go to rugby full stop. I don't see many fans (in the North if you like) having a problem with spending £20/30/£40 a week on cigarettes alone never mind booze but crack on with your 'Northern' stereotyping. If you hadn't noticed it's a damn sight more expensive to live in the 'South' than it is in the North so for many disposable income is actually more in the North
My point was that fans will often complain tickets are too expensive, it was mentioned upthread that it was £40 to watch Warrington/SGI, almost as if that was the only ticket price option when clearly it wasn't.
Many RL fans want owt for nowt, only deciding to buy if tickets go below a certain threshold, that's a fact.
£13 would get you a seat at Wembley in 1985, 30 years later and you can get a seat in the modern version for not much more, tickets ARE cheaper and yet fans still whinge about how much it costs..as I said, people want entertaining for nowt.
