Ok Im going to watch my first rugby league match sunday (Leeds Rhinos and Widnes). Now ive been to see my local team play at rugby union before but can anyone give me some of the differences between the two and also some tips on how to survive the game.

Working class people watch league.

Widnes fans are beneath contempt.

there is less standing on each others heads in league.

you should fit in well...

[Ickle Angel]

Lol cheers Gaspode. I am actually really looking forward to it but ive heard theres someone playing drums which is quite scary

[fish heads]

League is less stop/start and flows better, which is the main difference I find.

You should definatly enjoy it - even if you are going to watch Leeds

[Ickle Angel]

Lol you wait in a bit

[fish heads]

But Widnes? Who have they ever beaten?


Oh....

[Ickle Angel]

Lol

[Andy Bkr]

THERE JUST A SET OF SHEEP SH A GGERS LOL

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

sheep? in Widnes? only if they have escaped there and gone off their head on chemical fumes.

[Andy Bkr]

lol its like wigan get pie eaters and im pretty sure they don't eat any more pies in wigan than the rest of the country

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

so what you are saying is you slag off widnes fans for shagging MORE sheep than you lot do?

By the way.. more pies are eaten in wigan than other places.

[fish heads]

I've never heard Widnes being Sheep Sh@ggers before. Chemics, yes.

Wigan are called pie eaters because there was a strike in Wigan (or something) and the strikers caved in eventually and the headline on the paper was "Wiganers eat Humble Pie" thus they are pie eaters.

Don't expect to be able to understand what's going on.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

thats a bit harsh you would have to be thick... oh i get ya.

[Jonny Hoare]

one thing you have to remmeber is that....


[ray french] heeeeeeeeeee's gooooiiiiiiing aaaaaaawwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [/ray french]


Widnes used to rock when it used to be on grandstand. They ha Martin offiah back then... before Wigan came along and won everything...

When i drove to widnes with the former Jho consort Dizzy Fluff, (you know gaspode the chesty one) to her place of work, we entered Widnes, and because i used to watch rugby league religously on the telly on grandstand when i was little, i got carried away by the spirit of ray french and shouted out the window

[ray french] heeeeeeeeeee's gooooiiiiiiing aaaaaaawwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [/ray french]

Above all, whichever discipline you're watching, just be glad it's not american football, but a far better game.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

When i drove to widnes with the former Jho consort Dizzy Fluff, (you know gaspode the chesty one)

i think there were other, more unkind descriptions.

[ray french] never let a ball bounce dessie drummond, never let a ball bounce [/ray french]

[Sidders]

Bollocks, you beat me to what I was about to say.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

nice to see it was a close competitive game.

[Andy Bkr]

lol we didnt get out of our half for the first twenty mins then scored almost every time we got the ball ( and still with out our two best players)
