More than £20!!?
On the positive side - all is not lost, I get another go in my favourite holey stand.

Don't get me wrong, I don't get our need to charge away fans up to £25 for a match and looking at other Boards, it appears we potentially lose more revenue than we gain.
However, I don't agree that a £3 price difference compares favourably for the away fans. For that extra £3, we provide a roof, a view, a stand in the same county as the pitch, hot running water, etc
Putting the result to one side, the Widnes fans don't seem to share your view that your £22 provides good value.

Just seen your comments on the Widnes board - which says it all really. Do one frephead - we don't care for your opinion on how much betterer your place is than ours.

Can I play with you?
After the chlorpromazine hydrochloride obviously...
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
