Most people don’t seem to get yours, it is what it is.

Bottom line is I’ve commented on the fact that it’s never really become a popular spectator event, I’ve given a couple of reasons. as a rugby fan that seems to have gone down badly with you. Don’t be so precious, sorry to break the safety of your echo chamber, accept other people have views that differ and quit pretending by that you know why based on one word in a post 😂

Google Ross O’Carroll Kelly. I have a couple of his books, they’re brilliant.

A fair few who go to 6 Nations games just go for the drink, they have no idea of the players or how the game works, it’s a day out on the booze.

And RU fans are worse than Football fans for Anti-social behaviour especially when you add drugs into the mix.

Having been a guest at Twickenham a number of times I'd have to agree with your first paragraph. I think it's due to the high number of hospitality visitors at each match. Each time I've been I've spent little time actually in my seat watching the game, more time chatting and drinking in the suites along with many others.

The only anti social behaviour I've seen is vomitting. Young blokes overdoing it and decorating the toilets and corridors. I must say though, the staff are swift to clean up the mess due to the numbers of people employed in match days.

Would agree with this 100% Twickenham on England days is pretty terrible for rugby fans. You've paid upward of £100 to watch the match. And you spend more time up and down letting the casuals out so the can go for a wee, ANOTHER drink. It's shocking really. They should dedicate, say the east stand to casual who just want a drink and only allow tickets to the other stands to be sold to members of rugby clubs who might actually be able to both enjoy the game and drink

This is a justifiable criticism of corporate hospitality in general, which is an abomination.

They haven't got the facilities in one stand for this to happen, that's why it has to be spread around the whole stadium.

The RFU could cut the number of hospitality tickets available to stop it but how much do they make from it each game and how much does that benefit the individual clubs?
