No-one's claiming poverty, I'm just claiming that an extra £70 as it would be my case is a bridge too far.
I will be contacting the club, and I will be watching it at home. First time I've watched a game against Quins/ Broncos at home since 2003 but there you go.

And thats not the only rip off, £2.50 for a handfull of chips, £6.70 for fish with Handful of chips, £3.20 a pint of Lager.

I would just like to know why we are being forced to pay £10 more than fans of other clubs to sit in the very same seats.

We will NEVER go to Quins to watch a match again mistakes I can forgive Ripoffs I can't!!!

Because you're the only ones who get to see The Entertainers.

Can't see why the club can't issue League Only tickets which wouldn't be valid until an hour before the league game kicks off. Which would probably be the time the ground would be opened normally anyway.

I'm struggling to think of a decision that has made me this angry in the club's history. Who should we e-mail about this to complain?

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Mon Mar 22, 2010 10:51 pm  

Whilst I have a degree of sympathy with this one for the travelling Saints fan - particularly as there will be room at 6.00 and it should be possible to sell some additional tickets solely for the League game I don't feel that £25 is an issue where the price is compared to prices at the crumbling GPW stadium. £19 (£17.50 in advance) to stand on those dilapilated terraces and £24 (£22.50 in advance) in the stand. So £25 for the facilities at the Stoop stacks up pretty favourably to me.

Shock horror, Paddock defends the actions of the club!

I'm sorry mate but this is utter madness regardless of any comparison. St Helens supporters are being charged £10 more than every other away supporter for no reason whatsoever. If I got charged £10 more than a Wigan supporter did to go to Knowsley Road I would be livid.

How about you give the OP £10 on the day to make up for it, seeing as £10 is obviously nothing to you?

Fair comment, BUT after travel costs, ticket costs. etc. It was the food costs that took me aback the most.
