A huge insult to their fellow clubs, and completely the wrong way to go ,possibly part of the Leeds Rhino's twin influence, our competition is now infected with the curse of SL ' Greed '

Glad I'm no longer involved

What should other clubs charge for the visit of the Rhino's reserves?

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it has been forced upon them by the evil SuperLeague monsters from above.

Hunslet's prices haven't gone up, but some have actually come down. Whats the problem with that?

Given it's a reserve grade team, perhaps nothing ?

Its all part of the slow dismantling of the sport , its collaberation and working together to improve relations between clubs that is needed, all this does is drive wedges between clubs, as does the ' twinning ' system

Hunslet is no more a reserve grade team than any other in the league that uses dual registered players. Stop being so pathetic.

I dont disagree, anything more than a couple is too much IMO

Don't the supporters at Hunslet now run their club ?

Good initiative, works OK at football clubs.

While this system works in Football, Where say Leeds United want to charge more for a Derby Game against Hudds Town or Sheff Weds, when there's more casual home fans wanting to go than when they play someone garbage from miles away, Brighton for example. Hunslet aren't exactly packing out the South Leeds Stadium on a regular basis against any of the clubs in this league,

This is basically cashing in on the teams with bigger away followings, its fair to say Halifax, Leigh and Fev travel in larger numbers than most other clubs, York are probably un in the Category A as they and Hunslet tend to swap players on an annual basis and there's probably a bit of rivalry there, but all in all I think Hunslet are on a bit of a mickey take here

If they were to be drawn at home to some SL clubs, I'm sure they'd get bullied into increasing their matchday prices, I don't see what the difference is really Brew other than they've made the decision themselves & they've put the info out there nice & early and sent the message out. I applaud them but anyone who doesn't like the idea can always refuse to go to the games.
Nice little club Hunslet, I wish them well & I happen to believe that they do well to exist in the circumstances they have had over the years.

No one will be paying more next season to watch Hunslet, most will be paying less, great idea I wish them well.

Re: Hunslet pricing 2013 : Sat Nov 03, 2012 9:22 am  

I think Hunslet's actions must make Leigh and Fev fans feel that they've moved up the social ladder. Now me, I always knew I was an "A band" fan. But Leigh and Fev? Wow - they'll be polishing their pegs and lunps of coal when they visit Hunslet next year.

By the way, a "lunp" is a posh word for lump . . . . .
