£20 a pop to stand on the side of the pitch has put me off.

I'll get out there eventually this season, but I'm not in a rush after reports of those that have attended this year.

You can stand if you want. But no one needs to stand currently as there are plenty of seats along side lines and behind the sticks. Whether you think their quality is another matter. If you know one a season ticket holder you could both benefit with one if the vouchers they've all received. It'll get you in for £15.

But really is £20 too much for a game in London? Halifax have tickets at £20 and £17 in the second tier, while Castleford and Wakefield are both £21 to stand and Hull KR sell theirs at £28 and £25 for adults. In football in London the Daggers charge £21 for away fans while Wimbledon charge £17 for the terrace and £25 for the stand. London Scottish charge £25, £20. London Welsh £20 for the grandstand.

Bunch of skinflints. It costs me £40 for a peak return ticket to London in a journey time that is than a game of Rugby League. No wonder we have poor attendances if that's the attitude.

Have to agree with the skinflints thing, do you want summat for nothing.

Liking that SR. Put him and willy batrhue on the park together and it would be mayhem fun to watch though I reckon. Some of our fans seem to think we should get things for nothing though.

You may think people are being tight but if we want to attract new fans then £20 pitch side is not in my opinion gonna bring them back a second time. £10 pitch side , £15 behind the sticks and £20 for a seat in the main stand seems fair to me.

That sounds a good option

Your product is worth what people are prepared to pay, no more, no less.

I am (grudgingly) prepared to pay £20 a pop, but most of my mates, my brother and a cousin of mine who used to come are not.

They wouldn't pay it at the Hive where they could sit in relative comfort, so they are not going to pay it to sit in discomfort or stand on a terrace and they're certainly not going to pay it to stand on mud/grass pitchside.

Like the idea of 10\15\20 only problem with that is you get into that bizzare siuation that we had at the stoop, tickets to sit close to the centre line cost more than those on the 20mtr, which is fine, so all you did was show yr ticket to the steward who was stood at the bottom of the stairs on the 20mtr line entrance and then walk along the back of a row of seats and sit where you want.
Now maybe at trailfinders we should go £10 to lean against the rail £12 to sit on one of the haycarts!!!!
There is enough discussion with folk not being able to go in the upstairs bit of the stand and the stewards directing folk, making them do the same for the seats behind the sticks would cause them mayhem!
Maybe 20 is a bit steep, but they are cheaper if you buy in advance are they not?
