Rugby League

[shermarama]

Ooo. I was just wondering whether the rugby league season had started yet and looking up fixtures. It turns out that the match where Harlequins RL play Wigan at home, the only match of the year where I'm certain I can see Wigan play in London, is on the 9th of February, a week on Saturday. It appears to be quite cheap to get in, only a fiver for me as a student. That's how much it used to cost for a full-price adult to get into the rugby at Wigan back when they were at Central Park in the early 90s, though I wouldn't like to think how much the JJB stadium charges these days. 

So, is anyone up for going to watch some real live rugby league? Wigan aren't the team they were, and the atmosphere at a union stadium in west London isn't going to be what it used to be in a crowd of 35,000 on standing terraces at Central Park but that's not the point.

(in the style of Edmund Blackadder). Still, this is what we should expect when we try to organise a party on two weeks notice.

I did have that in mind, actually, but I don't see going to the rugby in the afternoon as precluding having a party in the evening. If my hideously broad accent once I've been watching rugby league doesn't drive everyone away, that is.
