Do you mean 'Pom'???
I'm not uncomfortable using it.
I do prefer 'Soap Dodger' though |

The fact that (British descended) Australians adopted a racist term to refer to fellow Australians of a slightly Mediterranian background doesn't make it not racist.
And that's enough diversion.

I sumtimes wish you poms took the game you invented serious like us.Still yet to be seen.'"
In the UK we have a small matter of Soccer...
The premiership - on average, over 35,000 per team per week turn out to watch premiership footy
The Championship - on average, over 20,000 per team per week turn out to watch Championship footy
League 1 / 3rd tier - The top 4 best supported clubs in english footballs 3rd tier have an average gate of between 17 and 24000
Now consider what it costs to watch english league football...League 1 / 3rd tier, costs about the same as watching Rugby Leagues Superleague and at some clubs, it costs more!
Football is the UKs number one sporting attraction - over a million people every week pay to go and watch live football and a lot pay through the nose for it - at both home and away games. Watching football in the UK is an expensive do!
Then Rugby league has to fight with the likes of cricket, motoracing and rugby union for the rest of the people who can afford to go out and watch sport.
Personally, i think RL in the UK is doing well to attract the support it does considering what other sports it is battling with for fans.
In australia, isnt RL held in the same regard and english football? isnt it the 'premier' sporting attraction? it certainly doesnt have to fight for support with a concept that is as well supported as football is in the UK.
for the above stated reasons, i dont think you can make a fair comparison between attendances in Superleague and the NRL.
oh and whilst were here, its ' pohm ', and i find it ironic that you aussies use the term in reference to us english.

Racist??
Naaah.
The word 'lovely' in Australia is commonly used to describe various ethnic groups in the same way as people from the UK are referred to as 'Soap Dodgers'
Right or wrong, thats just the way it is.'"
stop up making nonsense.

So you seriously expect me to believe that 'someone who has lived in Sydney all his life' has never heard of Cabramatta referred to as 'Stabramatta' or Kogarah referred to as 'W o garah'???
Thats just finally confirmed it for me.
You are definately a Pom |

Do people really believe McKenzie is an aussie?
And not a northerner who has travelled round Oz. A bit like Rosenfeld.

Is this thread still going?
And on here!
The VT is getting really crap now letting all these aussies post aussie stories that end up in "my big brother is bigger than your big brother" slanging matches and are lowering the standards of these boards.
Any thing relating to Australian RL should be moved to the Forum sepcifically created for it.
Come on Mods. What's the Go?
