What's the issue here? 2 different sports and 1 far superior than the other. Show your allegiance and dont be a sheep. Follow YOUR team.

But it's not that simple. Sport isn't mutually exclusive. You can be passionate about one sport whilst also being passionate about another.
The world cup, forgetting England's involvement for a while, is a fantastic event. A jamboree of sporting goodness, depending on the times it's on TV. I can't wait for it.
Then there is England. Despite what a few people on here say about it being wendyball it's also a sport I like watching. I played it up to semi pro level.
Is it okay if I choose to watch the footy? |

your quite right. i cant watch football, it bores me, however a couple of people i stand with are liverpool season ticket holders and never miss a game, they go to saints home and away, but if there's a clash they go to liverpool, does this make them bad saints fans? no at all. |

It makes them more loyal Liverpool fans, though, if Saints lose out every time. So I would say their heart really lies with soccer, not rugby league. Whereas there are many of us whose hearts lie with rugby league and even if Saints were playing Celtic Crusaders (or whatever they're going to be called next season), we would still be at Knowsley Road to watch them as opposed to elsewhere watching any other sporting event which may be taking place at the same time. |

Probably something to do with a Liverpool Season ticket costing about 4 times as much a Saints one! 
Wrong choice by them though. |

i wouldnt call them unloyal, they go to every match they can inc celtic/quin/cats away get home and away shirts each, always use saints official travel to put more money into the club. Exactly the sort of new fans we need if we are going to progress |

I'm backing saintyick. The stuff he goes through to try and convince us he has supported Saints since before 2007.
"Terry, what khabaddi?"
Pain for the cause.
He's never been to Old Trafford, either, because of his love of Saints.

I need a lie down!  |

I'd like to keep the date and time as it is. The financil loss will be all Wigoon's. Would have a different view if we were at home.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Not that it matters, Sky will decide the date and time.'"

Probably about 95% of the sporting fans in this country.
