Be a part of history! The first match at Saints' brand new state-of-the-art stadium will be the traditional Karalius Cup clash with Widnes Vikings.
Kicking off at 8pm on Friday January 20, Royce Simmons' charges will pit their wits against Denis Betts' Super League new boys in a bid to retain the trophy.

£20 for a friendly will surley put people off.

Think about it though. We'll be the first team to play them at their brand new stadium. How much of an honour is that? £20 is steep for a friendly but this is not an ordinary friendly.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

A friendly at 8:00pm on a Friday night in midwinter, doesn't sound too appealing either. Not really great for taking the family that.
What's wrong with a Sunday afternoon?
I think you're right. People will be put off, me included.  |

£20 for a friendly, jeez I know it's the opening game but that's a tad steep. I'll still be going but I imagine that will put a few off and why not a sunday?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| I think the idea is to put a few off tbh as nerds to be a 'limited amount' to get a safety certificate before fully being open.
Leigh have a similar problem as they struggle to get 4,000 in there to sign it off |

£20 is standard fare in Superleague. You'll have to get used to it. At least you'll get an away end with a roof over your head. Prepare to visit Yorkshire and be rained on for your twenty quid!

Let's put it this way, maybe if we were playing wire I'd feel cheated but this isn't the team of some two bit flea market. These are grand finalists.

I will happily pay 20+ for a super league game but this isnt super league. I will probably still pay it for this i just wont be happy. |

Saints match pricing for 2012 will be £20+ I would expect. |

Saints are also probably going to do categories, so fans of clubs like Wigan and Warrington will be charged more than the likes of Wakefield and Salford.
