It's a cunning plan to boost ST sales for 2011

What I'm led to believe is even worse if true that there is two hours between the matches and NO pass out so Quins can make money on food and drinks from a captive clientele.

I agree with your sentiment 100%, but I am not suprised if I am honest. The Stoop will be full, 14,500 will be declared (adding 1k per game to our average) and the coffers will do quite well.
As a business decision, it is a good short term solution, but is another example of the club maybe not getting it 100% right....in my opinion that is.
Remember, St Helens are the second biggest draw in London after the pies and haVe given us our biggest or second biggest gates EVERY YEAR since 2001.....that's not my opinion BTW....it's a fact

I raised it with the club today and we have confirmed it is £25. I wouldnt watch RU if they played in my back garden and its a con that we have to pay for both games with no intentions of watching the first. I will be there because non attendance would be biting the nose off to spite the face but I do feel ripped off. I have ordered tickets for £10 in advance previously.

I,m glad we have just found out about this, a group of us have now cancelled our accommodation at Watford and won,t be attending the game. We will be going for a weekend in Dublin instead.
If this is the trend of the club at the stoop, then the away support will be non existent........what a rip off by Harlequins.

The problem is that it probably makes business sense to the club. I don't agree with it, but I can see why they have done it.

I really hope that those Saints fans that don't come down because of it consider coming down in future. It is a unique situation and one that is slightly out of the League Clubs hands (the union lot own the ground and had a fixture to reschedule) and you always seem to enjoy your trips down to London.

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:01 pm  

I think someone at the club needs to read this thread and instigate some damage control - quickly !!!

The only thing Union of concern on the day will be the union of upset Saints and Quins fans that decide to stay away..........

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:03 pm  

Get over it, its only £25. Not much for top class sport.

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:07 pm  

I not paying £25 quid either to watch my team at home, not interested in kick and clap so won't be attending. Disgraceful decision and another nail in the coffen.
