Quote: Adamjk "Fair enough - to be honest I don't really know much about union. Used to play it in school and preferred it to league at the time. I can't sit through even half a game now. Tried to watch the Premiership final the other week but had to turn off when London Irish went for a drop goal after about 30 seconds.'"


That's part of the problem with Union, drop goals worth THREE points!!!!!!

Also there's too much importance put on second phase possession. I'm OK with that but when it gets to 3rd, 4th 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th etc phase it gets just a tad boring - why doesn't somebody pick the ball up a run with it sometimes.

The touchline is used as a safe haven.

What is the mark all about?

Forwards don't know what to do when they accidentally get hold of the ball in open play.

Apart from that the game is OK when there's no Rugby League to watch.

Quote: Catalancs "But an often dire spectacle.'"


Oh absolutely, but in the words of a former Stoke City manager (Alan Durban?) whose side were berated for shutting up shop and grinding out a goalless draw at Highbury, "if you want entertainment, go watch the circus".

Sport at the elite level is a results business.

True and union internationals at Twickers etc are always going to sell out or go close.
I'd have been worried if I were a club chairman.

Going to watch my first ever Union game on Sunday, Leeds v Sale(I think) I hope I can get into the game and am not bored but I doubt it as I cant seem to watch a full game even on the t.v.

At least its a freebie icon_rolleyes.gif

LFC, I'm not going, and I too have received the offer of a freebie.

I got a freebie once before and last about 20 minutes before the bar and the football results became more interesting.

That bad is it icon_lol.gif
I think its open to all season ticket hoders from both last year and next so they must be desperate.
Do you reckon we can sit/stand wherever we want?

I will give it a go anyway unless its raining when I set off or something else better comes up icon_wink.gif
