Then don't take them!

£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!

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.

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.

touche!!

I am working so wonte going anyway.Hopefully £20 be ok for a league game as these are the Superleague prices.We have been out of Superleague for 6 yrs and i rather pay £5 more than a Championship game.If you go to Watch Man Utd or Liverpool you pay over £40 so stop moaning.If can not afford it then do not go.

a SL game isn't £20

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.

Um, last I looked Saints and now Widnes are both in the Superleague. Both teams have stated they are putting out full strength sides. Therefore, it is a Superleague match. It just isn't a league game; it's a friendly.

And our standard price for the away end is £20. You pay £20 to stand out in the wet at Cas. £20 is pretty much what everybody charges now; more in the seated stands (usually £25 in that case).

Yes, well whilst you supporters of stagnant teams who have grown complacent in your comfy seats at the top table from day one, with your antiquated notions of buying tickets each week - are busy paying £20 + each week, supporters of progressive teams like us will be getting excellent value for £18 per month with the stronghold

It's not a super league match because it's not in the super league. It's a friendly match.

But it is two Superleague clubs. When it is two Superleague clubs it tends to be full price. If you were still in the Championship, we would be paying a tenner.

In other words, it's your fault that we're paying full price!

I completely disagree. It's a friendly between two rugby league clubs who happen to be in the super league. It is not a super league match because it's not in the super league.
