We pay premium prices for a premium side.
Just take a look at the arrogant nature of that post.
Whoever posted that with prices like the whinos are charging, that our sport may become like what football is today, is totally spot on.
With the whinos charging £20, I don't care if you're reigning world champions or current Super League champions or the best team of a county, but it is steep. To reiterate an earlier post of mine, it seems the whinos don't realise how difficult the financial cirumstances are in Britain at the moment.
But this is where it starts. One club charges stupid money for matches, then every other team tries to out-do each other, seeing how much they can rip off the fans, how expensive a ticket they can realisticly get away with selling to gullable mugs. If clubs like Leeds aren't careful, the only people who'll be able to afford the cost of watching rugby league matches in the future, would be solicitors, barristers, bank managers and entrepreneurs. And it will all be because a short-sighted bunch of board members took it away from traditional rugby league audiences, the families, the honest hard-working people who bust a gut week in week out, for a couple of hours worth of entertainment.
To back this up, even Premiership football clubs are learning their lesson for taking the people who pay their wages (the fans) for granted for so long, two have frozen season ticket prices for next season, while another three have actually reduced the prices, using common sense rather than chasing pound signs.
Think about that.
