Hmmm. A Muslim Preacher... but one who hates Rugby League. Which side would the Daily Mail take on this story? You have to admit, it's a dilemma.
"Journalists are meant to be neutral, for God's sake." - Stephen 'Wiggy' Jones
"Perhaps it would be better that future criticism of sports be made on the narrow basis of what is being discussed, without reference to other sports, unless those sports offer a solution to the problem in hand." - Brian 'Pigface' Moore
"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes

One of my first memories of rugby league was a crazy guy like this at the Athletic Grounds in the first half of the 70s when games were first played on Sundays. He stood outside the ground wearing his placards announcing the nighness of the end, calling us miserable sinners - I believe he was from the Lord's Day Observance Society. If the world's crazies are beginning to notice us...

I remember them too, always one outside Noughton Park/Central Park/Knowlsley Road in the early 80s on a Sunday. Always plenty of good humored abuse aimed at them as well.

There used to be one outside Old Trafford (Cricket) when the John Player (Sunday) League started - could have been the same guy - perhaps cricket was his summer sport.
Looks like it wer' organised by't Pennine League

Could have been. I'll bet the coming of summer rugby will have confused him - he'll have searched his bible for any signs that the playing of games with an oval ball was against the Lord's wishes.
I remember the Lord's Day Observance Society always had its HQ in Stornoway. It is now incorporated into DayOne Scotland, with branches in Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Sutherland, and Skye. Not sure whether they still 'do' sports grounds.

You can buy a gun on Sunday at the garage in Stornoway on the Sandwick road
