Cab, it took them an entire semester to convince Pakslae that “hard drive” didn’t refer to the road back to Pretoria after a liquid Saturday night in Brits.

Thanks Ig. Maybe he can also be asked to explain their involvement in the players’ life-after-rugby careers. I suspect Andrew hasn’t quite got his head around that.

I think the tickets are way overpriced and the fact that Ellis park sits in a dodgy part of Jo’burg doesn’t help either.

Good idea to get Hennie le Roux to justify the cost, since SARPA are supposedly getting 70% of the proceeds. Would be interesting to hear his explanation.

Well – supply and demand talks. I dont really give a flying twang what happes between Boks C and Old C%$nts.

If they are serious about getting crowds in, they will reduce the prices.

AS the man said:
“Bring down the prices, and they will come….”

Plus it costs them a new monitor and hard drive every time they ask Pakslae to reboot his computer.

since SA havent got the cleverest rugby players, I would reckon windows training coarses will take up all of that money in no time

vinnie at 134, yes but they’re not proper sportsmen.

besides no-one else can understand why they take soccer so seriously when they get beaten all the time.

They had hoped to attract 45 000? Even if 5 000 of those were scholars, they’d still be netting R10.5 mil at the gates. Just how many times are these players going to have to take the same Windows course before they pass?

Shocking prices really, i paid R1400 for 4 tickets to watch Scotland, i mean *Cough* *Cough*
For 80 mins.. but you can guarantee i’ll be there when the gates open and crawl out when they’re closing
I might even tackle a ref, get my monies worth!!

I went to the England vs Barbarians game and had front row seat for 15 pounds, a bargain. Better view than Ellis Park, safer to get to and we had the big screen near us.

Andrew – could we maybe get a statement form hennie le roux regarding the ticket prices and his justification of it.
He loves to talk **** and hear his own voice.
