£14 to sit for adults - £9 for kids.

You do know this is a friendly and we are league one don't you.

Huddersfield v Wakefield is only £12 - Which is where ill be going today now. Thanks again Dewsbury for absolutely scamming parents whose kids are too young to stand.

How about all those of us who got robbed paying to watch the drivel at Batley get some sort of compensation for the wasted part of our lives we'll never get back by charging a fair entry price today?

What a joke.

This point has been addressed before to yourself and i fail to see need for further explanation but here goes . You quote huddersfield giants game today where the entire stadium is 25000 seated so there will be ample seating for anyone of any persuation or age so space is not an issue , it is £6 entry for juniors .

Our ground has a seating capacity of 1150 and just over 2000 standing therefore a game such as today will mean that all the better seats will be full hopefully .

If i were a paying adult in the main stand and could not gain a good seat because a junior who had paid a fraction of what i had for the seat then i would like you are now be very disgruntled .

It is £2 for juniors in the south stand which is one third of the price that the giants are charging today .

I am suprised that it is difficult for your kids to stand for the course of a game as it is well documented that you traveled your kids around the world on a marathon journey which must have been in my opinion much more physically challenging for the kids than standing in a rugby ground for 90 minutes or so .Indeed from me being very young my dad took me to the old ground and we never thought of sitting down .

Finally from me have you failed to notice that for the last few seasons we have been the best value season ticket in the whole of rugby league so as to look after our regular supporters in the best way that we can financially .

These pre season friendlies are absoluteley vital to clubs such as ours so much so that without them the very future of the club would be in danger ,the same cannot be said of super league clubs who benefit from the full support of sky monies .

I am dissapointed that you feel that Huddersfield giants are a better option for you today with your kids ,i do know that when i was a kid if my dad had tried dragging me off to a different game when my team were playing i would have screamed the house down .

Sheila and I will both be in the South Stand at the Rams Stadium again this afternoon. For us there's only the one team that counts for anything in rugby.

That is a very good reply.

My only point would be that I have been going to Dewsbury for years and except for the obvious 'big' games don't ever remember the stand being full - Particularly when friendlies are on. Though you are right in just about everything you say, but an adult paying £1 to sit, and a child having to pay £7 is wrong.

As it happens today's Giants game is at Belle Vue and I wouldn't pay a pound to get in there so I am having to bite the bullet and come watch Dewsbury.

I really can't understand this funkmaster. I can't believe you would want to waste an afternoon sitting amongst a bunch of whinging, whining scratters, furnished with all the sportsmanship and good grace of losing Aussie cricketers (I should know,I've worked with enough of them, and have a brother among their number). I personally would sooner have my teeth pulled - no worse, I would sooner watch the dogs, and apart from anything else, add five or six quids worth of petrol and it isn't all that much cheaper is it ? I have made my feelings known about the lack of interest shown by the players and coaching staff on Boxing day, but at the end of the day, it is all about ensuring the survival of our club. I don't have kids (although I do take a guest when they are available), so i know your cicumstances are different, but believe me I aren't exactly Richard Branson. I hope you relent, and turn up this afternoon, but if you don't you have my deepest sympathy - you are already turning into a Giants "suporter".

Im pretty sure FF cuts and pastes this post in before every pre-season game.
