       There is always a Churn of STH each year.  With a waiting list
       of 2500 the club have decided that hit the large increase now
       and as long as they cover the increased Churn that will happen,
       then they have made large gains.  The testing point will come in
       two ways.  1. How many on the waiting list now take up the
       option.  2. With a large Churn this year how will STH numbers
       hold up in years 2&3.  I don't have stat`s for new STH Churn
       after 1st year, but know of people who bought a ST and after the
       first season, realised the commitment required to get to all the
       games and only did one year.  Games still TBC a few months ahead
       and therefore having to keep whole weekends free.  Games KO
       5:15pm on Sundays, Fridays nights can be difficult if you work
       and travel any distance to the game etc.

       Obviously the little poll running at the top of this thread is
       far too small to be statistically valid, but even so, with 35%
       of respondents saying they're going to cancel, even if every
       single one of those 2,500 people decides to go ahead with their
       purchase, it still wouldn't come close to covering the losses,
       and given that the new holder prices have also rocketed, I think
       that's a very big IF!

       Said on the other thread, its not the cost for me. Even with
       losing the 2 games and a bit of a price increase its still great
       value for money (Im Jester though so cant speak for you lot in
       the half way line seats).
       For me its the fixture spread. Its very sad how many times I
       have been to the Stoop this season on a Saturday afternoon. Sat
       3pm is the pinnacle day and time for me. I don't mind the odd
       Friday and Sunday, where I can shuffle other commitments so I
       can make those games, but it seems nearly every home fixture is
       moved to Friday or Sunday, which I cannot do that often.
       Will pay for this year, but if that's to continue, then someone
       on the waiting list can have my ticket next  year

       I've had a few years of "this price increase is too much",
       "there aren't enough 3:00pm Saturdays", "I'll renew this time,
       but if it continues....."
       To any one thinking the same, I can let you into a secret, it
       will continue.

       If I hadn't already decided to cancel beforehand, that
       staggeringly deceptive twisting of data would've convinced me to
       do so!

       The price comparison with other sports and venues is
       interesting.
       I don't have name against the rugby comparison graph. Can anyone
       fill those in?

       Of course if you are fed up with rugby, you could always play
       golf at HQ.

       So a day at the Stoop is comparable to an Ashes fixture at Lords
       match time 11am to 6pm vs 80mins, plus it's an international and
       not in SW London
       Arsenal - notoriously expensive and not in SW London
       Tottenham - brand new stadium not in SW London
       Wembley - Internationals and knock out cup games - not in SW
       London
       Ascot - RA opens at 10am and last bars are around 19.00 world
       class racing plus the King
       But if Quins add the pre season with Scottish, the third XV cup
       and two games not in your seat we're cheaper therefore better
       value.

       I will pay but the lies and spin will probably mean less time at
       the ground and associated spend, because I don't like being
       treated as an idiot.

       What's the relevance of SW London specifically?
