Hull fans getting giddy over away support? Who'da thunk it?

Having a pop because I can be bothered. Nice one!

Don't worry Saville Row, your status as bestest ever fan of all time in the world ever innit was confirmed last week and is not under threat.

You must have missed Wembley on 08

Better get to Saints, your last chance to see your lot this year

You took 2500 to sydney?

You really want to go down that road after your knuckle draggers started assulting our players and young children in the stand?

I wish that steward started on O'Meley or Goldie

Please go away.

Trust it to be Frepwit.

you think this is bad, wait till the world cup next year

Haha! There will be half empty grounds everywhere - including at the final if England aren't in it - coupled with limited media interest, and people on here going mad with quotes about how, "We all know rugby league is the greatest game of all" and it's disgraceful that no one else agrees. Those who go the games will be moaning at other RL fans who don't - accusing them of letting "The Greatest Game Of All" down, and those who just aren't interested will say the tournament is a waste of time anyway, while probably having a dig at McNamara (or "McBanana" as they will no doubt hilariously call him) for good measure.

This fume-a-thon will then intensify tenfold a couple of years later when the RU World Cup is played here with far higher attendances - including at games played in the north - and the media reporting that will go with it.

I can't wait.

As one of Warrington's reps on the RLWC2013 Fans Liaison Advisory Group (FLAG) I have a chance to put forwards my own views and those of our fans. The FLAG group has already had one meeting and the Warrington reps attended the host team launch event at the HJ when it was confirmed we were hosting Samoa. From what I've seen so far, I believe the RFL team organising the tournament and the Warrington team organising the town's involvement are both much better equipped and prepared than for previous events. The Warrington team meets monthly and is already well into its planning.

Our next RLWC2013 FLAG meeting is on Grand Final day. If anyone has any genuine suggestions / feedback / comments for the organisers, I'd be happy to pass them on. I will start a thread in due course to collate them.

Phew ! Thanks

Of course I do, but I don't harbour some sort of grudge against "the RU biased media" or wallow in any victim status as a result, nor do I buy into some sort of "we all know rugby league is the greatest game of all" myth when the game's popularity suggests the vast majority of people in this country and around the world disagree.

We're a minority sport played in a small number of regions. We might never be the wealthiest sport, and this might cause a few players to look for riches elsewhere, but as long as we still play in our own regions we will still exist and have a game to watch at the weekend. I'm comfortable with that.
