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?

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.

That's London for you £3.20 for a lager ain't too bad down here (apart from Spoons)

My thoughts exactly.....it 'aint exactly rocket science

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.

And there was me being nice to you on Saturday. How did I defend the club when I said that I had sympathy and then compared the prices at St Helens dump of a ground with the Stoop.

I agree that there should be a way of selling RL tickets at our normal prices for admission after say 5.00. However I would guess that there is some legislation crap/health and safety reason. We know without a shadow of a doubt that there will be plenty of Union people who will not be there at 6.00 but in theory they may still be there so I guess the red tape crap probably means that the club can't do it.

You would have thought that it could operate a bit like Wimbledon where they resell the centre court tickets as people leave. I would happily volunteer my services to do that if possible on the day - I'm sure you'd join me Listy.

Answer me this - do you think it is acceptable for the club to charge an extra £10 for something that St Helens supporters won't even attend, when there are perfectly logical solutions of charging them the normal price? Yes or no.



Absolutely. Apologies if I came across a bit strong.

this is why league wil always be a third rate sport in this country.

isn't it about £3 for an unrefridgerated can at that crappy urine drenched hole of a ground?

This highlights how much we are the Union clubs bitch. They flex in on OUR matchday because they can't find a suitable day to play their game, try and point out how we somehow benefit from this double header then screw visiting supporters as well as non-season ticket QRL fans. If I didn't have a season ticket I wouldn't be going. It absolutely stinks.

this is shocking!!!!!!
I dont want to watch kick and clap

Have to admit, haven't been to KR since 2003 play-offs........it was bad then, god knows what it's like now. I paid £2.50 back then for a pint of Carlsberg from a van.........not sure what they charge now.

Comparing TW2 with KR is like comparing a Bentley Continental and a Model-T with no wheels.

....and we attracted 17,500 to our hole last weekend whilst the posh TW2 had about 1000 on despite the ' official' attendance. KR is a far better place to watch a game at least we can stand up........and in a year or so we will have our new state of the art stadium with 18,000 capacity and terracing, and it will be ours and there will be no RU on it.

I do think some Saints fans have gone OTT over this. It isn't Quins' fans' fault so why are my fellow fans having a go on here? Surely they should be emailing Quins RL?

anyways back on topic....

Forgive my ignorance but I have done no research on this, but are the Union supporters [home and away also being charged extra for having a League game to watch?

The £25 is the usual price for a Union ticket.

As others have said I have paid £24 for a stand ticket at Knowsley Road, then you struggle to look through a glass window at the end of the stand which has never been cleaned! - talking about unwashed, I was born in St Helens!

I think you are missing the point.
Can you answer this then please.
Why are Saints supporters expected to pay £10 more than supporters from other clubs for the same facilities?
The "double header" is no excuse when we only want to see the RL game.
Would you want Saints to charge £10 more for you to visit than they charge other clubs?

Why do you think that Quins fans will know the answer to your questions? Shouldn't you be emailing Quins RL instead of giving fans earrache when they may be just as in the dark as you about it?

It's so embarrassing to read the way some Saints fans have reacted to this, with storming off in a huff and cancelling hotels and God knows what. I thought the idea was to support Saints not get on the backs of Quins fans over something they have no say in?

I'm still going, no matter what the price. And because I'm going on a club coach I won't arrive in time for the RU match anyway. So what I'm effectively doing is paying the equivalent of sitting on one of our hideously uncomfortable wooden seats in a dump of a ground and for that price I'm going to a much nicer ground with friendly home fans and supporting my team. I'm doing the trip in one day.

Well I'm glad you don't mind paying more than the price quoted on the Quins official site we personally travel hundreds of miles supporting Saints and spend a considerable amount of money doing so, but I do not expect to pay more than the listed price for any game.

would you buy something in a shop that was ticketed at £10 and when you got to the till it was £20? I know I wouldn't.

As for running down the ground of the team you say you support (although from other posts it is obvious you would rather be with Quins or Crusaders!!) then why don't you attend a club that has facilities that you consider comfortable.

KR may be old and tired but at least it is ours and not owned by club from another sport like Quins , Crusaders and a few others and our new stadium will be for Rugby League.

As for posting on here I cannot find an Email address for Quins RL but will be contacting them.

I have just had a lengthy conversation with a lady at Quins who said "Harlequins are an all inclusive Rugby league and union club and the majority of fans realise that this is fantastic value for money, there is no way we would consider reducing the price because it is your choice to watch or not watch both games in fact it is not a Rugby League game but a days event"

When I pointed out people might choose not to attend because of the price she said "It was bad that people called Rugby Union kick and Clap" and they should enjoy both games.
