In my mind, any game that has more than 8 subs is not a real
game.
Basically, I think that if a team is fielding a lot of players
on the bench, then that means that they intend for all of those
players to come on whether the team is winning orlosing.
So - it is more about having those players having a run than it
is about winning or losing.
So - I think that a game has to be a competitive game for it to
count as a "value for money" game.

I would imagine a pretty sparse crowd - attendance will show
what the season ticket holders think of as a"value for money"
game .......

For non critical games, the weather forecast plays a big part in
my decision making.
Currently showing 90% chance of rain. I'm currently undecided.

Also when it's played will have an impact. Driving in from
Oxfordshire on a Friday night after a day at work, probably
getting home around 11:30pm or later for a friendly is hard for
me to justify. If it was being played on a Sunday afternoon, I'd
probably go, as it's a day out.

Can't believe I've seen tickets for this could even be £40. What
an own goal by the club.
It's probably obvious its going to be a low attendance game, so
why not at least try and make it appealing to any 50/50 fans who
are local? £20 and a pint type offer would pack the place out
far more than charging £40 to watch basically the academy and a
few first teamers at best

Best wishes to the team tonight but agree with Fred. Too many
late games already this season.

I don't think that we are going to see any champagne rugby
tonight.
It is like a monsoon here.
The teams are having issues with a slippery ball in the warm ups

Just put it on and already a man down defending our try line.
Solid start

Anyone know if they're playing the second half tonight?
