however the fact is that for the facilities on offer, £23 to sit and watch a game at the KC under cover is much, much better value than £20 to stand out in all weathers at BV.

2 things:
1) When comparing prices, do like for like, so it is either £25 compared to £20 if you pay on the day, or £23 compared to £18 if you pre-purchase. So your prices are at least 25% higher than ours.

2) Nobody is claiming that what everyone pays at BelleVue is good value for the facilities on offer, but at least everyone pays the same price.

As a long term supporter of Rugby League, I much prefer to stand than sit anyway and having spent my formative years watching us play winter rugby in all sorts of conditions, standing out on the terraces at BelleVue holds no fears for me whatever the weather.
I can see the benefits of a modern stadium and the facilities it offers (especially for families etc) but I would always choose to stand to watch my rugby if given the choice.

Personally I love to sit now, age and all that
However I love your ground when the weather is nice, I feel virtually on the pitch, last time there I was earwigging what they were saying in the dug-out

We have the banter with the Dobbins, however we tend to ignore them, the last thing we would do is start a thread which invites them.

Don't flatter yourself - it was started as a perfectly legitimate discussion about the pricing structure for an upcoming away match; it could have been any team, but it so happens that yours is the only one that chooses to discriminate against away supporters by charging them more.

there was going to be 4 adults and a couple of kids going from here so that is at least £100 lost because of your pricing structure..
