neither will I, PLEASE TELL ME WHEN WHEN IT HAPPENS.

Sorry, but the only benefit from this double header will be to inflate the clubs average attendances for the season. It didn't work on any other level in 2006 (if it had, they would have repeated it in 2007).

As for saints fans........there loss is offset with the free tickets for Huddersfield fans and the £5 seats for HKR fans this Monday.....genius, pure genius
I look forward to reading with inerest the offer for a £5 ticket for Castleford fans announced on facebook on May 15th

So we pay £25 and Hull KR pay £5 and Quins pay £7 to watch the Crusaders match.

Sounds to me as if Saints aren't welcome at the Stoop or are we subsidising the £5 game? I feel we really are being ripped off big-time!!

I am in shock having read this whole chain, can undertand Saints fans being a little bit annoyed by paying an extra tenner but I am a Bronze Season Ticket Holder and I have no problem with an allocated seat. I am really looking forward to the day, not a huge Union fan but going to watch with a few pints of IPA and enjoy the atmosphere of a full stadium.

We cannot afford to be so belligerent about this situation, I am just happy I still have a team to watch and am thus realistic. The club has to bring in every penny it can and this double header makes economic sense.
Yes I know it is easy for me to say this as I am not paying any more for this game, but our club cannot continue to function forever on current attendances so I will not be complaining when they try new innovations and explore new revenue streams.

On a side note, does anyone know if Leeds are expected to bring many fans down? I see they are teetering on the verge of relagation. Saints, Leeds, Quins Union and League fans. Going to be fun trying to get to the bar!!

So you think it is right to in effect penalise both the Saints fans whose coaches are scheduled to arrive in time for the Quins RL fixture and the Quins RL supporters who only wish to watch the RL fixture anyway. A one off fixture is not going to solve our revenue problems it is only going to falsely inflate our attendance figure in order to appease the RFL come licence renewal time. Enjoy the atmosphere of a full stadium, it'll be business as usual for the rest of the season...........

Every cloud and all that
Seriously, this has been handled badly by the club (IMO that is) and I sympathise with the Saints fans who feel aggrieved

Believe me when I say this.....a lot of Quins fans sympathise with you.......I for one will not be there because of the rip off price, and the money I was going to find for my Summer season ticket will now be spent elsewhere.

On the other hand you could either say oh well I got a free ticket with the best seats in the house so that counter balances the extra for Saints, or that Windy has sent you the £5 offer for monday or think OK £25 for 2 games in the top league of their respective sport isn't a bad deal.

No Hull KR won't be paying £5 - the offer was sent by email to Quins fans I suppose to "bring a mate" cheaply. I personally don't have any mates in Hull .

FYI I already have a full price ticket for Monday, it was purchased online 2 weeks ago I was curious as to why the £5 offer was "selective" and yes Windy has emailed me a £5 voucher which has been printed out and passed on to friends who want to attend had I have received the email (I am on the mailing list btw) I would have printed them off anyway to help get bums on seats, get off your friggin high horse, you obviously have no clue as to my own personal situation. Yes I won the best seats in the house a few weeks ago, I also booked an advanced rail ticket for Wales before the date switch which I have lost money on. Yes also I also resent having to pay nearly double to watch a single game of rugby league.....My working day is geared towards the Quins RL kick off so I cannot get there until 5.15 earliest......clean the mist off your rose tinted spectacles and don't comment unless you have either read things properly or got your bloody facts right
