When you state on the website there has not been a price increase but there clearly has it becomes a matter of principle!
It would have been much better to say nowt!!
I presume you'll have bought yours now then and paid the extra?
If I'm going to pay for $#!£€ I'm not going to pay through the nose, simple as that.
I think you’ve missed my point.

There's only one signing IL needs to make, a new coach.
Will that be half a million?
Have you got your ST I asked?
I will be getting mine as and when so presumably I'm outside of the scope of restriction?

So are you saying that someone who does not attend a game cannot comment on the team/performance, so even if they listen to coverage or watch on sky?
. Well they’re not all on sky,and on radio you only get what has already happened.
Its not black and white like that though is it. Say for example there is a game in which Wigan play Hull KR and its not on TV. Hull KR win 20-16. I can still comment that Wigan shouldnt be beaten by a team recently promoted like Hull KR, that point doesnt require my attendance. Same if the same game wigan scored 4 tries and KR only 3 + a pen. I can still safely comment that the lack of goal kicker is costing us games - most "complaining" as you call it are down to issues that are trended over multiple games and exacerbated within the previous game the points remain valid. I dont think anyone would come here and say George had a terrible game without seeing him play, that would be ridiculous, but not all "complaints" required the live game to have been seen.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Censorship I think that’s what he’s after,not sure how you can prove wether you went to a game or not but there you go,as for the rest of his post I’m not sure what he’s going on about

. Well no you didn’t ask you “presumed”.I get a season ticket because it costs me less and I am all for that.As you said “as and when”.

. Then I’ll explain,simply suggesting (tongue in cheek) that if they are not attending then they might give us a rest from the constant complaining.I think the comment about the £20 increase(if there is one I haven’t checked) was self explanatory.

I don't think anyone's saying that if you don't buy a ST, or, indeed, attend games, you should be banned from commenting on the games, here or elsewhere.

However, I do think it's a bit steep if ST holders and regular attenders come on this forum and find they are accused of being 'mugs' or 'sheep', for example.
