Trojan Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 ...I saw loads of Hull tops, a smattering of Hull KR, a few Bulls, Wigan, Saints and Salford - quite a few Giants, quite a few Cas. I didn't see any Crusaders or Harlequins, which given that it was played in London was a bit odd. Non SL clubs - well me (although I was wearing blue and yellow to blend in ) Fev, Fev Lions, Cougars, and quite a few from 'Fax, plus one from Siddal - that's the lot from non SL. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

You can rest well tonight knowing that there were at least half a dozen Quins shirts on show in Block 141 lower tier near the Press Box. Saw a couple wearing Crusaders shirts in Wembley Way afterwards. Didnt think overall though there were as many neutrals as in previous years. Edited August 29, 2010 by Spicer

Saw a couple wearing Crusaders shirts in Wembley Way afterwards. Didnt think overall though there were as many neutrals as in previous years. Main venue for viewing tops before venturing down Wembley Way was Wok & Roe Chippy, Haddock and Chips for a fiver, not bad I thought. However, that could explain the number of Codheads I saw “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

Mumby Magic Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 The camera panned on to what looked like Bristol sonics shirts. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah

ArmchairRhino Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Loads of South Sydney tops about Saw a bloke wearing a South Wales shirt with his daughter in a Nottingham Outlaws shirt on the train. Didn't see them at the ground but I can't think where else in London they'd have been heading in that kind of attire. Bloke just along from me wearing what I think was an Oxford Univerity top- dark blue with yellow V. Can anyone enlighten me? Edited August 29, 2010 by ArmchairRhino There's no dignity in plastic seats
Trojan Posted August 29, 2010 Author Posted August 29, 2010 That one always puzzles us. We don't like cod. No but you sold it to the rest of the country before the Cod War - with exception of the West Riding, where we wouldn't be paid to eat cod. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

I saw some Wakey ones and missed them out on my original post - sorry. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.
