Padded seat, you need a padded cell mate

In my experience most fans don't care where you sit or how much money you earn. You might get the odd prawn sandwich comment but who cares about that. Football is exactly the same. At Salford I'm suprised there's anyone sat close enough for you to hear them (joke Salford fans).

Besides, other than being sat in a padded seat how would anyone know how much you earned or what your social status is? When you say "council house boy done good," do you mean you pull in 50k a year or do you mean your chauffeur drives you to the game and you sit there wearing a cravat and a monacle?

I've been to the AJ Bell. If you live within 1 mile of it you're not doing that good.

I sometimes go on my own, sometimes go with my brother, sometimes i take a friend, sometimes i meet people in the ground, i don't have a pattern.
At home games i flirt between all 4 stands depending on who we play and how i feel.

So from someone with no fixed routine or pattern one thing i have NEVER noticed is the OP's 'class' problem.

I attend Wire and Bronco games too, so i experience the same with all 5 of London's fans.

Just listened to a very good interview on talk sport with will greenwood. Talking about the ruwc but he went into learning from league. How the wc in 02 would never have been won without learning defence from league and how they need to learn attack in the same way. His parting comet was all about how we need to big each other up as both are great in there own way. Full interview was very balanced and made a lot of sense

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.

Hmm
Not sure what to make of the opening (and, to date, the only on here) post from this lad.
He's been invited to sit with me (thanks Barton Flyer) at Salford and can (if he can get a spare seat: for some reason, it's crowded where I sit: not anywhere else but near me).
Wonder if we can talk re this comment and the ones on Turkey:I can make no claim to be posh. Hamer in Rochdale is true terraced house territory (with much poverty) But I did go to a Grammar School and a classmate was a captain of Ireland RU. So trying to find common ground may lead to mix-ups.

Troll or not: should be interesting.

less direct rudeness, more lack of reaching out.

Taking a date to the game?

That's going to keep her around

As a multi-millionaire from Henley-on-Thames, one has always felt only adulation and respect when one has attended games. Why, the hoi polloi even get their little ones to wave at my helicopter.

Totally agree with that.

I too am interested in attending a rugby league match. Could anyone please tell me where the posh seats at Belle View are situated?

Well if he is a troll, he certainly got me. But some of the responses to his post do comply with the miserable rugby league fan cliche. And though I live in terribly bourgeois Chiswick ( can't wait for the boat race, donch'a know) I can never be posh: I was born in the People's Republic of Wigan

I don't mind being on my own I would prefer to go in a crowd but I meet the same people & have a good natter, I am a self confessed League nut & I miss the days gone by when the fans mixed more. As for foul language it must be my age group (been watching since the late 1950's) I just feel embarassed by it & would not want to have to explain to my grand kids what they are shouting. I think we are lucky at Rovers that we play mostly on a Sunday we get a good mix & range of ages. I dont like 8pm kick offs as i am usualy getting ready for bed on work days. I wont be at tonights game against Saints as I won't get home untill gone midnight & I expect a significant few wont be taking young kids either. but we can't please everone.

Multi-millionaire Simon Moran still stands on the terrace at Warrington.

Lots of other business owners do the same. No-one is looking down on anyone?
