Reet then. I've just emailed Ian Lenagan to charge you £20 for your visit to Wigan, that okay?

The thing is that although this sounds good in practice it wouldn't necessarily work( Rogues suggested the same thing earlier in the thread). What could happen is that the away fans who are to be charged £20 in the North stand (ie Hull, HullKR, Leeds etc) could decide to pay less and pay home prices in the South , East or West stands. Just imagine that. I know that RL fans pride themselves in being able to mingle but I also have to admit that the KC with its segregation is a safer place to take the family than the Boulevard ever was.
I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.

It's also the best stadium in SL.

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.â€

I'll happily pay £20 for a seat in a good stadium with an uninterupted view of the field and under cover. That covers Hull, Wigan, and Huddersfield.
At the other end of the scale Wakefield, Castleford and Bridgend should be £10 with the rest somewhere between.
If the RFL actually enforced a pricing structure of this nature it would be a big incentive for the poor grounds to improve or not be able to compete with the richer clubs.

Or we could just borrow our richer neighbours football stadium. Mind you we may not be able to play there when we need to.
