I live in Manchester and my mates give me stick for liking rugby league, nevermind supporting the Warriors. I'm moving to West Cumbria in September so hopefully they'll accept me there.

I live in Warrington and get all sorts of stick off my pals, all good natured I should add, but I have always just said why should I go and watch Warrington as they wouldn't come and see me if I was bad, that usually shuts 'em up

My hubby and I are both Wigan season ticket holders and live and work in Warrington. We are surrounded by armchair Warrington and St. Helens fans who revel in Wigans bad start to the season. Boy have we had some stick leading up to this weekend!!! But the boys did us proud yesterday. Lets hope we can do the same on Monday and next Sunday.

Yep I live in Bradford and go to college in Leeds so I get some stick but none of my mates really know much about league in general as only Rhinos supporters for a few years so I just give them stick about only going when they win as they dont go when they loose or leave very early when being beat...and they say its us that do the walk Ive never left a game early you could miss anything

My girlfriend lives in Wolverhampton and she had never heard of RL until she met me, I was shocked
She's converted now though, took her to Saints yesterday too, her initial comments were... "their fans don't make much noise do they!"

I also live in Portsmouth (good to meet Southern Warrior in GF day), and have got most of Portsmouth Rugby Union into Wigan.
They love it..
