Exactly.

Its called having a fair, level playing field.

That'll bring the fans back. Losing someone like fifita wouldn't be nearly as bad if everyone had the exact same money to play with, no ifs or buts.

Hell we wouldn't have lost him if it was a fair competition.

It would be kind of OK if we lost him to a last place team with no forwards. I wouldn't like it, but I could understand it.

But no, we lose him to a club with arguably one of the strongest forward packs going around.

And to add extra insult, the dogs fan base don't even really want him and don't appreciate the signing at all. I'm just hoping it turns out to be a spectacular fail on their part.

Castle is trying to compensate for her ridiculous hair do by signing fifita with possibly more ridiculous hair styles

I was in the ticket lines with some mates who aren't members (they're moving overseas in a month) on Saturday. They couldn't believe it was $35 for a ticket to the footy - said it was only $30 in round one, and much much cheaper in previous years.

In fact waiting in that line all I could hear was people complaining about the price. "You've got to be ****ing kidding", "You must be joking" and "What a bloody rip off" was rife. It's just too expensive, and many people said they wouldn't be back with prices that high.

Cost me 30 to buy em earlier in the week. Always dearer at the game.

Dunno why someone would bitch about 5 bucks in this day and age. But i know what he means.

Im more dirty about the 6.15 ordering fee they put out for online ordering....

haha i saw that ordering fee. you get slammed 6 bucks no matter what option you choose, haha they have it stitched up

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Yeah unless u buy it at the game......where its $5 more anyway.

Im just unsure as to why an internet order should incur a fee....everyone buys **** on the internet

It's like when you buy movie tickets online and charge you admin fees etc, anything to make a buck

[BlackWhiteBlue]

You just answered your own question

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

How?

 

[stevie013]

How?

everyone uses it, so demand is high and they can charge what they like and people will still pay it. Why do you think ticket prices keep going up?

I'll answer that, it's because people keep paying it!

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Yeah but its just ridiculously labelled. Servicing fees. For what? Me to press submit and i get an automated reply.

I know what ya saying, but its just another way of milking a buck.

Plus the 'paying with a card' surcharge. Is there another way to pay?

 

[stevie013]

Not sure tbh. I'm sure some computing or law guru on here could point out why we pay these fees. I'm thinking it's a tax thing.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Im not complaining about spending the money its the way they go about it.

Having a credit card fee when its your ONLY option is pretty fugged. Its only a buck i think for a game ticket but u know wat i mean

 

[Born&bred]

Do we have to pay a fee for rumours now?

 

[stevie013]

Absolutely. That's why banks make so much money! Fees for everything!

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Yep.

Only rumour is carney being near 2 smart arses. Hardly even news.
