Is rugby being priced out of our hands

Is rugby being priced out of our hands?
has any one noticed the rise in price of the games in the last few years.
yes some might say that to see good teams you pay for the privilage but............are we heading for the prawn cracker type supporter going to the games and not having a clue of what is actually going on?
I think so. for many years ireland had and still has in certain towns and cities a posh schooling idea of you have to have money to play rugby. That for a few years slowed up in munster with the introduction of the celtic league and the h cup, more games to see and more exposure on tv. bringing it to the the screens for everyone to see.
Every one started to buy the shirt and want to be seen at the games. this did a few things
got more people involved and brought more money into the sport but as in every sport the finance boys said hey we can jump on the wagon here and make a killing.
Sadly this could be the killing factor.
Greedy peolpe that will sadly make us all be reduced to rugby on tv..
Will be back to the local clubs on the rainy sarurdays.
