...anyone else worried that LIVE on SKY TV the club will be seen as dishonest if they announce the attendance as a full house?
With the comments from some fans on other threads about "leaving early" or having enough, together with the Saints depleted following due to the £25 ticket fiasco, could this be the begining of the end?

I for one will be worried about an altercation between Saints fans and the Union lot (being serious here)...and if that happens, which code do you think will get the blame


Sorry, but badly planned, badly executed and a potential spark in a powder keg.

Least of our worries right now.

For the RFL to even accept the figure being included in our season average would be dishonest and be a severe injustice to other "borderline" licence submissions

Doubt it, most Saints fans who go down there, and I hope some don't take offence to this, will be diehard League fans. I don't think any will be looking for a fight, if anything I think there will be a mutual respect for each code.

Hope you are right. I seem to recall an incident with FC fans when the Broncos played at the stoop......all handbags at dawn, but the Union fans reacted like it was a war!

FC fans? Well...

I believe it involved alcohol, but every club has a few idiots. Let's hope the stewards are on the ball, because even if it's one person ejected for something like smoking, the union lot (and maybe the press) will have a field day.

I can't really see there being any problems. With regards to the game, I was speaking to one of the people who runs the coaches through Saints and she said she had 14 people signed up for it and was struggling to get any more.

I will be coming down next weeked. Not sure if I'm stupid or die hard having been to every away game except Catalan this year. Certainly begrudge £25 but my love of Saints will not allow me to stay away. I'm certainly not coming down for a fight and I'm fairly certain my 61 year old mother will be able to behave herself. My only intention is to watch a rugby watch, not two which is what I am paying for in order to see mine but that's another tale.

Can't say that I've ever seen any problems of fighting Saints fans at matches hope the Union fans aren't looking to cause problems.

I have had a look at the Quins RU forum and read posts from many union fans not wanting to sit with us, our whippets and flat caps but I just took that as ignorance.



Looking forward to a good day but a very expensive game of league. Hope it's a entertaining game.

The Saints fans on this thread may like to note gutterfax's location: Lower Hutt, New Zealand.

Meaning what? I am not stirring it if that's what you mean, I was simply pointing out that disgruntled fans + alcohol isn't the preferred mix. Add to this the conception that Union fans have (see above ref to CAWI) of league fans and I pointed out that it was possible that not everyone would be happy. There was trouble a few years back and the Union fans at the time were up in arms.......do the club need any bad publicity heaped on top of what is already turning into a disasterous season?

Meaning what it said. Nothing else.

As thread drifts go, that's up there with the best of them. 12,000 miles away and it still hurts when the team I support continue to cock-up on every front and I am of the belief that this double header has the potential to be a massive fiasco.

Everything else involving Quins RL this season has been a total fiasco, so why should the Saints match be any different?!

It cannot go wrong as there will not be many in the ground come the league game.

The union match will go as per every other game they play.

Quite worried, it will give people just the excuse they need to have a go at the club and it could potentially be damaging to credibility.

So bloody tedious.

Not really taken much notice of Quins, always thought their predicament this year would have been brushed aside and a naieve side of me almost thought Quins fans wouldn't be bothered, but reading a few posts on here it's a shame where your at. All the best, there's always worse off teams out there remember.

I wonder what the handicap is this weekend.
You know.. I'd fancy quins for a big performance

The only handicap this weekend Dico Is Arliebird from a few of the above posts hahaha Why's he on here having a go???? He seems to have the IQ of a drunken bee

the seats look good on tv......freshly polished by rah rah bums


in other news, listy has the hump as he had to stand in a queue for beer

Do i win anything?

According to Sky Sports website the RU game had an attendance of 10,237 and the RL game had 5,200. Though the attendance for the RL game is probably only an estimate it does demonstrate integrity on the part of your club as they have given a truer figure for the crowd rather than trying to claim another 5000 fans watched as they could have done. The figures suggest this was not a cynical attempt to boost the average after all.
