We didnt, we bought groupon deals that were 2 for £17 
and it wasn't a handful, we were stood side on rather than behind the posts and those of us who did go went knowing what side we were putting out. |

Nothing to pity, I've spent money on far worse things than a season ticket to watch rugby league.

I don't buy a season ticket because I expect them to play like robots and win every week. I don't buy a season ticket because I am loyal to the club and think I should. I buy a season ticket because I actually enjoy going to watch a game of rugby played by my local premier team. A season ticket is the most economical method of paying for tickets and that's it.
If you feel you don't want to go because you don't think it is entertaining rugby, that's fine, it's your money and you can spend it how you like. If you're not enjoying it, why would you come?
I don't really see an argument in this. If you think season ticket holders are fools then you obviously don't enjoy watching a game for the purpose of watching a game. If you only buy it for loyalty and lambast those that don't, you're probably one of the vulgar idiots that swears at the top of his voice all match because the linesman is wearing that 'non-manly colour of pink'.
Is there nobody else on here that goes because they enjoy an evening out watching rugby with friends/family, if we play well and/or win then it's a bonus?

| Quote ="Fat Boy"Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think your analogy (above) is a little flawed.
I agree that if you were to go to a restaurant and have a bad meal then you'd be unlikely to go back, but if you were to regularly go to the same restaurant but sometimes you were served a two Michelin Stared meal and others a BigMac and fries but you'd never know which you were to get it'd be a tad frustrating.
With restaurants, cinemas, holidays etc you can pre-empt the value you are going to get to a certain extent. For example it'd be unlikely that you'd be served a poor meal at the Fat Duck or spend £3K on a cruise aboard the QEII and I doubt you'd dirty sheets on your bed.
With the Rhinos you never know which team is going to turn up, one day it's Côte de bœuf, the next Findus Crispy Pancakes.'"
For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger. |

Huddersfield Gnats, I like that very very good.
I do feel cheated to be fair, £8.50 for me and my 2 kids to watch the Gnats (League Winners 2013) |

I think that Huddersfield were ok to put out the team they did. They'd earned it by claiming top with a game to spare, the only problem I'd have had with it is if the Bulls were still in for a playoff spot as it wouldn't be fair to the other teams. But alas it wasn't effecting anybodies league position.

Isn't there already a "supporter" doing this shtick? The OP needs to find some original material.
