Earlier this week I booked 2 tickets In the stalls for a 2 hour show at the Vicky theatre in town and it cost £63.50 and a extra £1.50 Per ticket for insurance.
£66.50 for a couple of hours entertainment and not a rugby ball in sight.
Unfortunatley that is the reality facing a lot of our fans next season, besides finding a wealthy backer to subsidise that I am not sure what the answer is. Ive been to less games this season than I have been to in probably the last 30 years or so, not just down to the quality but its the first time in a while where given the choice I would start to pick and choose my games. Pretty much all the people I used to go with has dwindled to the last few due to money constraints and its far cheaper to have a catch up in a pub over a beer than it is to have a catch up at the game especially when there really isn't an atmosphere at most games and you can watch them for free on YT a couple of days later. Add in to that the kids getting older which adds to the costs on match day and its just getting a more and more unrealistic option for families.
God knows what the answer is because I think we can all see realistically the way that rugby league at this level is headed at the moment.
