| Alright everyone!
This is my first full Season as a Warriors fan, I was previously a football fan (a game of who can cheat the best, or who can be the biggest pansy) but thanks to a spare ticket to a home game last year to Catalans from my brother in law I was brought into Rugby League. After that first game I got a season ticket as soon as was possible for this season and have loved every game.
As a football fan coming into the world of rugby I was taken aback by how friendly all the fans were, the fact that I could walk to the game with away fans without anyone kicking off or generally being a complete tool amazed me, even more so when drinking before Wembley in the Green Man with loads of Hull Fans, this would have definitely resulted in a riot in footy.
The start of the season was great where we dominated and the latter half was full of 'injuries' and resting players to ensure we had a good cup run, and a win, and hopefully will help us in the playoffs. I love going to the games and cant wait for the game on Thursday for my first taste of a proper away day, minus Wembley. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs I will be clumping what very little money I have together to sort out my season ticket for next year.
So I suppose this is a thanks to everyone involved in Rugby League and all the fans for making this sport brilliant for a first time viewer so much so that I have dropped football all together for the super league and am looking forward to watching for many a year to come...even when I emigrate to Oz in a few years.
Nice one. -Jak

I thought I was the only one on here who drank mild, you should have heard the comments I got in the Torch (Wembley) when I asked for a pint of mild.

Maybe IL should do the same with Sam?
At least we could all agree then that IL had completely lost the plot

Love a good pint of mild myself, getting harder to find one though these days, the big breweries don't seem interested in making it, have to rely on the smaller independent ones to step up.

| A goog post from the OP.
As someone who lives in a soccer area there are folk around here that support RL and Wigan besides me. The post outlined the best of RL compared to what you get when going to and at a soccer game.
