Quote: Dropkick Murphy "I think the "Yorkshire people support Yorkshire teams" attitude is less prevalent in the RL region previously known as Lancashire.
If Wigan or Saints were playing each other in a final I wouldn't care who won, but if either of them were playing anyone else I would want anyone else to win. I'm discounting other "Lancashire" teams because they haven't been in finals in the time I've been into the sport. If pushed I'd want a Yorkshire team to beat Widnes but would want Widnes to beat Wigan or Saints in a "support the underdog" kinda way. I couldn't care less about the likes of Salford and Leigh.
Lots of Yorkshire people do support other Yorkshire teams in finals though, and I get the impression lots of older "Lancashire" people reciprocate, but it's irrelevant to me.'"
I agree with you DM (blimey).
As an older Warrington/Lancs correspondent, my 'red rose support' even if it is Wigan v a Yorkshire team is now out of the window and I would favour the underdog.
I could support Saints v Yorkshire, but, would not support Widnes, or Wigan against anyone, under any circumstances. If they played each other then I'd hope the both lost.
