Oddly, that was also the only game I've walked out of! Didn't really help, as I couldn't get out of the carpark any quicker but it was too much for our group to cope with! My friends have threatened to walk at the JJB from time-to-time, but I've always refused to leave before the end.DaiJones posted:
I am ashamed to say I left the GB/Australia test at the Reebok Stadium in 2001 after just 50 frost bitten minutes of Kangaroo dominance and was roundly abused by-in particular- a group of "ladies" from Castleford who looked like they had just stepped out of a Beryl Cook painting.
I smiled calmly as I descended the steps and headed at speed to my double room at the Lowry Hotel in the company of a game female colleague from work, OK so I missed all the GB points but as you point out...we sometimes have very good reasons for not wanting to see out a foregone conclusion game to the inevitable end. You'll discover there is more to life than Rugby League as you get older he said patronisingly...cricket and rugby union for instance
