Quote: Beverley red "You have some fair points, I may be unusual as I watch the game at HKR as my first choice but avidly watch 10 games a week on TV go & watch local amature games even FC but I am a league fan first HKR second. Most of the people I stand with at Craven park come in groups & on the whole welcoming. What I will say is that & I might be in a minority but I won't take my grand kids there & my wife won't come as the Language is appalling. I don't care if other people bring their kids & think it is OK I don't & as I have lived in the west country & attended union games (20 odd years ago) I know they would not entertain some of the language I hear at games now.'"
Your situation isn't unusual at all as I know others who go on their own because their relatives won't go with them for whatever reason. Would you prefer it if you went to the games with someone or are you just content to be mingling with strangers?
Personally I'm happy keeping in touch with the games on TV or Radio. Not many of my friends really like sport, never mind rugby so my interest has waned in recent years.
Appalling language comes as a culture shock to me these days but I guess you get used to it from experience.
