[goodaine]

Tempted to go as haven't had my rugby fix in ages ............ I can always dig out the hipflask (ie nick my nephews)

Shafted

And I would be happy to watch your alma mater tonking MY alma mater

(NB - we weren't/aren't ALL Methodists - but even if we are, it doesn't make us bad people)

Now maybe I'm getting tight in my old age but 15 quid for a child ticket in the stand appears a tad OTT. Indeed, all the tickets are 2-3 quid too expensive IMHO.

I thought the same except that I think they are even more overpriced than by 2-3 pounds. Won't pay it!!

Saw this a number of days ago on the UR News section of the website. I did feel it was quite dear and had a look at 2007.

Northern Bank Schools Cup Final 2007 Adult Child
Stand £15.00 £15.00
Promenade £10.00 £8.00
Terrace £10.00 £6.00

Seems that the Promenade dwellers are being hit this year by a £2 (20%) price hike.

I would have no doubt that this money goes to the Branch and not direct to the professional coffers. How the money is spent is then a matter for the Branch to determine.

The prices do seem very very steep but even the sight of all the 6th form methody girls in the world couldnt persuade me to go and watch Methody win it again.

Colzo - wont b there on monday - will hopefully b strolling on a beach in Donegal - but hang on to those Weatherspoon voucher booklets as junior back home for a month and they will b used. Am still willing to give a pint per booklet .

[HwoodMike2umate]

Well i'll just have 2 make do with thinking about 6th form Methody girls. It's never done me any
harm in the past!

I married one (well, she wasn't actually 6th form when I married her) - you can figure it out for yourself if it did me (or her) any harm (I couldn't possibly comment)

[HwoodMike2umate]

For the avoidance of any doubt, whilst i am neither a doctor nor an optician, i reckon its probably thinking in particular bout the 6th form Strathearn uniform that has probably resulted in me having to occasionally wear glasses. I also partly blame a mate in my class @ school whose house (or 2 b more precise his bedroom) overlooked Strathearn and who had some very good binoculars!!

[ColinS]

I'm starting to think of a few chat up lines already!

Mike, I also got a voucher for 2 free tins of Guinness - want me to bring them to the next match? (the tins, I'll have re-deemed the voucher by then!)

Its never been the same since they banned the sooper short skits and the sooper high shoes with those even sooperer nearly not there tights....... now they make me wear trousers and steel toe caps.... but I live for the weekends

[ColinS]

You're a 6th form Methody girl?


GREAT!!!

What I think would happen is there is a " calulated fixed overhead" per match which would be deducted from the gate and the excess is then but in the Schools kitty which would be added to the Kitty from the Semi's

Considering that schools rugby has really only the three fixtures which would accumulate a profit to fund

The youth Rugby

The various competions schools / youth/ Mini/
etc

then I suppose you can't blame the Branch for trying to maximise that profit bearing in mind that over the last 5 to 6 years there has been a substancial increase in the number of competions interpro/and Internal fixtures
