Bloody hell, one of the reasons I love RL is the banter you can enjoy without getting your teeth kicked in!

Are you one of those that forgets to put sunscreen on when you go to the beach?

Is there anything we dont moan about on this forum

Im not going to watch rugby anymore 'cause they make me sit near the naughty Rhino fans and let the sun shine in my eyes-Hmmm

What next the colour of the grass, size of Howells feet, the noise from the planes flying over.........

Watch Ice hockey-lots of seats available there, no Yorkshire people there and no sun- Ps dont forget your coat

So your quite happy for our fans to drift away? There were a handful of quins supporters sitting near me who made similar comments.

The club should be trying and make the matchday exprience as enjoyable as possible. The Broncos, during their time at Charlton and the Stoop, beat this bunch of amatuers hands down.

And yes, I sat in the old West stand at the Stoop where I got a much better view.

What happens when its Sunny at Quins RU? Do the supporters in the East Stand get the hump and declare themselves they are going to stop supporting the side because there are no seats available in the Lexus?

My point is that there are seats in the Lexus for RL games we are just not allowed to sit there! I couldn't care less what is available at RU matches. I guess they are just glad to get a seat.

What do people do who go to watch cricket on a sunny day in Aug at Headingley (no cover) for example?

Fans of Summer rugby should not be surprised when its sunny, should they!

Sky have set the criteria, they are the pay master- nothing more we can do.

Wait until you are stood on the open terrace at Wakey on Sun- you will have plenty to moan about then.

Fans of Summer rugby should not be surprised when its sunny, should they! No but then they should be given a choice of where they can buy their seat.

Sky have set the criteria, they are the pay master- nothing more we can do. So we are happy for fans to drift away? I didn't renew my season ticket this season and I know of others who have done the same. I know of at least 2 more who wont be renewing next season.

Those that want cover can no doubt find it, those who are happy to sit in the sun will sit in the sun. It's called choice.

Rubbish! People who don't like it should let the club know about it.

As with Headingley, there's plenty of cover available at Wakey for those who want it.

If your not buying a season ticket due to sitting in a modern stand albeit facing the sun then that of course is your choice- something that I would never consider- Maybe im not as fussy as you. I find the view and facilities excellent, even more so when you have spent years on the Wilderspool terraces.

The season tickets are an absolute bargain. I find the whole experience brilliant- just my view of course.

Out of curiosity will you and your friends find an alternative sport to watch or just find something else to do on what would have been match day- Im just wondering what the alternative is.

I understand your point. But sometimes people have to just like it and lump it and make the best of whats available instead of complaining.

Personally, I will not bother with the 80 mile round trip. I will continue to watch my footy team during the season and tend my garden when Quins are playing, attending the occassional game when the fancy takes me. I have been supporting Fulham/Crusaders/Broncos and Quins since the first game at home to Wigan. Despite some very lean times I used to enjoy watching rugby league even at Chiswick and Copthall. Unfortunately, nowadays the club seems intent on alienating the fans with its ticketing policy.
