I like the idea of a long weekend in Spain/France to watch the frenchies play my team. It sure beats a wet night on the temporary stands of Hull Kr (how temporary is temporary?). We enjoy the planning, the build up, the travelling and the crack with the locals, who are usually very sporting. The downside is obviously we have lost a heartlands club to make way for them and I thank the stars it's not us. Perpignan is expensive, but we put most of our money over the border into Spain. From there we travel over to France and watch what we spend because it aint cheap (5.60 euros for a pint of Amstel...ouch!!). Watching my team abroad makes me feel more travelled and international, it elevates the standing of our game and my team.

I still put money into the local teams and will go and pay to watch Batley, Featherstone, Dewsbury and others ususally because I have friends who are supporters and some of these places have good real ale pubs near the ground and are full of knowledgeable friendly rugby league folk who you can have good conversations with and get a wide perspective of comments and ideas.

Maybe he just regard stupid opinions as stupid?

If you don't like people disagreeing with your views, and offering their opinions on them, you probably shouldn't post on a public discussion forum.

imo. of course.

Doh!!!

My last post being that, he wasn't expressing my opinion!!! He was making it into an extreme right wing view, that suited the angle he wanted to oppose.

Your suggestion that I don't like a disagreeing opinion is doing pretty much the same. Look at the number of other peoples posts where I have actually said 'respected' or 'good point' following another persons differing opinion.

The whole point of a forum is to discuss opinions, and justify the basis upon which an opinion is made. Just referring to them as stupid, is more reflection of an inability to intelligently debate a topic.
