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

Or I could just be grumpy!

Personally I'm not bothered about being given an allocated seat for one match, and in practice there are going to be loads of empty seats by the time our game kicks off so it shouldn't be difficult to move to somewhere else if you don't like the seat you've been given.

My problem is the apparent need to exchange my ST voucher for a ticket before match day - will I be refused entry if I simply present my ST voucher on the gate on the day? The email isn't really explicit about this. I didn't see the email sent to me at first as it went into the Spam folder in my mailbox, which I empty about once a month after scanning it for messages I might actually want to read, so I never had a chance to swap the voucher for a ticket at the last match I went to. Of course I could telephone the club or email them and ask, but as the game clashes with a football match I'd like to see I'll simply give Quins a miss and go to football instead. My decision won't cost the club any money as I've got a season ticket, I'm just rapidly losing interest and becoming increasingly apathetic about Quins.

The double header is a great marketing idea for Quins RL. Sorry about the Saints fans. I am really lookiing forward to it. Maybe some of union fans might stay on and maybe they might come to some other games: it is worth a try. I would imagine that the ticket price would be driven by the RU club. The RU club could just about fill the ground with a minimum adult ticket price of about £20, you can't sell two tickets for the same seat, so what other option is there? In union and league, we have two great games. It is not a competition between these games - they are just different.

Big thread this, so I may be repeating a point already made, but it's now clear, even to me, that a ST voucher is NOT valid for admission to the Saints game.

From a "Free Pint At The Stoop This Monday" email received from the club today:


and

Cheers Bronc for making things clear and sifting through the cryptic information sent out by the club!

Well, it seems us bronze people are in the same situation. Since I want to go to the game, I think I'm gonna pop down in office hours (thank god I'm a teacher, and have the wonderful Easter break!) and exchange my voucher (and thus make an unessecary and costly journey )

The club seem to be threatning bronze ST holders with non-admitance or a heavy price tag (£28, more than half the amount the wife paid for the ST in the first place). I'm sure on the day I probably would be able to sneak in on the voucher, but don't really want to take the risk.

That great they tried it in 2006....and of the 12,600 reported gate, 2,500 actually saw the league match v Huddersfield.
Face facts, this will do nothing apart from inflate our seasons average and like all of the recent knee jerk offers on facebook, hasn't been thought out, managed and handled well at all.

Any excuse for the part time fans to miss a game. Blame the club whenever possible but by whatever means you mustn't be loyal the the club and turn up to home games. Makes me sick.

They have said that you can exchange your voucher at the ticket office on the day - its never busy, so I'll be doing that (if I even go).

Was at the union game v Newcastle Falcons on Saturday and many of the union fans I spoke to were actually outraged by the way the club had treated St. Helens.

Think you will find out on Saturday that the Saints away support will be the lowest yet, they just don't like being exploited.

And not many from Quins given today yet the "official" gate will show 12K. The ground will make interesting viewing on Sky, my prediction is plently of empty seats and possible record SL score.

The club won't worry......they get to report a 14,850 attendance and tick another licence box



I hope to god that Mac has been told just how important it is that the team compete.......or the 1,000 or so curious union fans will see their last LIVE game of RL

if it buckets down on sat what state will the ground be in for the league game, is any one bothered.

Record score and record low crowd perhaps (real crowd regardless of the cack that the club will release)

I'm not going.

Off to meet your friends at Craven Park eh?

Seriously, I'd be checking the handicap.
Salford were worse than Quins when I saw them and they can compete on off days. You are due a BIG performance, it happens with every team now and then regardless. It will be Saints' third game in just over a week, seriously, if they give anything daft like 24 points, get your money on it.

It has been "meant" to happen for a while. I reckon you could be about right giving us 24. Wouldn't back it though.

Mate, I'm doing a rain dance and have ordered a plough, if that is what it takes to bring Saints down to our level then so be it.

Sadly summer is predicted to arrive this weekend-Lets hope the Met office have got it wrong!! Having said that watching two games in the cold inclusive of a union game isnt pleasant!
