I stick by my statement about us being fans because until you play super league you will never know how hard it is, that is why I get so annoyed with so called fans slagging off players. It doesn't matter how old or experienced you are rugby is a tough sport

Yes I would expect you would have done where you stand, was right at the bottom of the steps.

I played rugby at a very good standard, G.B. Amatuer and Northern Ford, playing rovers on a no of occasions.
When our games did not clash i was stood on the east stand terrace cheering Rovers on as a FAN.
No one ever mentioned rugby league not being tough, never mind super league that even goes for junior rugby, because it doesnt matter how old you are you still need a big heart to play.

True you do need a big heart to play the game, my husband played professional rugby and I have been involved in junior rugby for seven years, you have to be proud of all who play the game, the ones who slag the players off are the ones who have never played the game

Totally agree with you on that one.
Some people see going to rugby matches now as just another day to get pi$$ed up and abuse anyone from players to fans, both their own and the oppositions.
That seems to be where we are heading at the moment regaurdless who you support.

Who'd you play for chief?

I admit, I've shouted the odd inflammatory/abusive remark to a player, usually more pi55 taking than anything else. I really do not like to see people venomously spouting bile at a player of either team. I usually think; "would I go up to that bloke in the pub and speak to them like that?" the answer is always "NO". a) Because I believe you should treat people with respect and b) I'd rather they didn't knock the living sheite out of me!

As for gobbing off to fans, I think we've always had an idiotic element, remember people fighting amongst themselves in the upper tier at the 2006 CC semi after about ten minutes? As the club has grown, we've attracted more of these pillocks, their very easy to avoid and you would definitely have to go looking for trouble (unless you were very unlucky) at RL to get into any, but, i would very much like to see the club do more to be ejecting these types much earlier and repeatedly or banning them all together.

I'm all for having a drink (although MM aside I rarely do at the rugby) and a laugh but being a foul mouthed drunken lout has no place in my life, if it started to get worse than it is I would have no problem contacting the club with my concerns.

It's catching.



Yeah, I can't see drinking in the afternoon and getting a dull-headache by half-time enhancing my rare trips to CP. Fair enough I can see why a social drink would appeal to some, but why anybody would want to get hammered there...

Balls, what's worse is that I actually wrote "they're" and decided to chamge it.

Christ, and now I've written "chamge" instead of "change" and that wasn't on purpose either.

That's it, wine o'clock.
