zylya Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I've been in Bognor Regis for the last few days housesitting, and between the train station and the bus stop, I saw a woman in full St Helen's kit and a bloke in a Leeds Rhinos gilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmon Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Probably not on topic, as it was me wearing the top, rather than seeing somebody else. Was working in South Africa in 2009, and went to all three Union Lions games. Had on the Lions Union top for the 1st two, but for the final game put on my England RL top instead. Got a lot of ragging from the die hard union fans, but the Lions did win the game (but not the series). Then they was all ragging me for not wearing it in the first 2 games. While I was out there I did have a friend who was a Bulls fan (Blue bulls, not Bradford), so we used to go to Pretoria for games at Loftus Verstfield, and I usually was wearing my Quins RL top (London Broncos was quins back then), but of course none of the Locals noticed that it was the League top and not the Union one. Fun times, when London was actually quite good, and would win a game or two Edited June 4, 2022 by crashmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Like one or two others, I've posted this on here before but... In 1997, I spent a couple of weeks visiting a mate who was living and working in Baltimore, Maryland at the time. We spent a couple of days in New York and during a taxi ride down 5th Avenue, I spotted a bloke jogging along in a Hull FC 1980's shirt. To my frustration, I couldn't work out where the window switch was in the back of the cab as I was gonna belt out "COME ON YOU ULLAH!" as we went past. Lord knows what the cab driver would have made of it. 2 Hull FC....The Sons of God... (Well, we are about to be crucified on Good Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Saw bloke in a Wire top on Eastbourne seafront last year. I was also wearing a Wire top, so it led to a surprised exchange of glances. Saw a bloke in a Hull top on Hastings seafront. I was wearing a Wire top and he pointed out that you don't see many RL fans that far south. I also saw @gingerjon. I think he was wearing a Dunkerque Ladies Handball top. 1 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Eddie Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I saw a bloke running through Attleborough in a an old Salford jersey earlier. I’m almost certain I’d have been the only person he passed who knew what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiffers Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I saw a Rhinos shirt last weekend whilst I was running the Plymouth Half Marathon. I mustered up the energy to shout "Up the Rhinos".
