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.

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.

Example- south stand renewal £210, auto renewal £190.

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.
