He was right in the end: |

| Quote: K-Diddy "They won't get a refund, I thought it was pretty simple.
It's a great gesture by AP & one that you don't normally see. I do feel sorry for the people that went to watch that but like somebody said the other day, if the team were playing brilliant rugby & winning every game would people be offering to pay more to the club?'"
The club would gain by getting more through the gates and more buying clobber from the shop.
And we would finally be worth the money we pay to get in. As i said previously, we are not £24 a game

Great gesture by AP and surprising in this day and age. He deserves to sell season tickets.

If it's such an inexpensive gesture it makes you wonder why other owners/chairmen haven't done the same in similar circumstances.

It will actually cost him double for each refund, as I reckon the RFL are unlikely to allow him to reduce the amount he puts into the 'playoff pot'.

The 70 adult passes at £215 is £15,050 though.
Now do we think he will save at least 70 passes with his generous gesture.

His input to the 'playoff pot' shouldn't go up or down AFAIK previously with regard to the away game at Hudds.

| No one will renew or not on the basis of a £10 or 15 refund. Good gesture by him though

That's what I mean. Any money he refunds will not be able to come out of ticket receipts as they are pooled. The total won't be double but will be significantly more than if this was a normal game.

My god, are you really that stupid?
All the playoff income goes into the pot and gets shared out between the clubs.
AP's refund will prob come out of his own pocket, or even the profit we turn this year. The RFL will not care zip who gets what money back, infact they will be all chuffed so many of us went to Udders to prop up the gate numbers and bar takings

He wont be refunding anywhere near that amount.
Plenty of tickets were binned on the night and a good deal more will have been lost or washed. He may be unlucky and have to fork out for 500 (£5000).

| Typical AP action thinks money will buy anything he is having a bet if he repays say a £5000 and he getting the 500 hundred supporters to buy season passes that wouldn't have done, if he gets 200 of them he recoups £60,000 back not bad business if it works.

| Just got my money back, very nice gesture from the club. They also accepted my email receipt from the Giants rather than having to drive over with the stubs.
