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.

I would be up for that. I haven't seen a live sporting fixture for a very long time.

I would do, but Wycombe are at home that day, so I'll probably be going there instead.

Hmm, could do, since Salford don't get to play in London this year.

I would have been there if I'd managed to get a cheap season ticket in time, managed to dither too long though.

I went there a fair bit last summer because they had these £12 tickets going, and because sitting in the sun with a cold pint watching a game was a great thing. The atmosphere was pretty good when I saw them play Wigan, but then that was maybe because over half the crowd were away fans.
