Even books will be rare soon with these ebook readers - whose displays are supposedly like reading a ordinary book. When the prices start to fall as they always do I think being able to download a taster of a book, then hit a button to buy will be more convenient, just like downloading a music track is at moment.
I have to say mutt around late 80's early 90's I got bored with watching RL and Leigh. Most of my mates stopped going, and I had stopped playing etc so gradually stopped being interested.
A few years later I got back into RL because one of my best mates, kept inviting me to W1gan games for a couple of seasons.
Later I did go to Leigh games again but didn't really have the bug like it used to be, (plus City being #1 priority too) upto about 2000 when I started to get excited more and more again. I think Gigg Lane GF was the point where I knew that I had turned totally again - as I was truly sick as a parrott on bus going home to sunny Hulme after game.
From experience I know where you are coming from, but you should just go and give it a go again as it will bite you again eventually.
Also B4 anyone has a go at my brief encounter with the dark side, I will challenge you all that was at Sundays game and know I will have been to more Leigh games than most.
My W1gan mate hardly goes to games now, apart from SL GF and still digs me (when I call W1gan) about my low point.
Way back then there was plenty to do around Leigh at the weekends and it was a thriving community. Oh and AJM was playing for us then.
