We had some right old fun with the Bulls couple in our stand at this year's NRC final, serves 'em right, got what they deserve, what goes around comes around, think of a cliche, it's all a bit of fun FFS.

Hey I love the banter but that's what I am saying there isn't hardly any now!

In my case it wasn't banter, he honestly didn't know.

This wasn't 'banter' though, it was clearly a snide comment that was made when the snivelling individual concerned assumed (wrongly) that we were out of earshot. His immediate reaction - which was to quietly shoot off with his pedal to the metal, when we confronted him about his comments, was hardly the stuff that 'banter' is made of.

There isn't a better time as now to rattle an argument off with SL fans. Bradford have given us a hell of a lot of ammunition, so too have London, Salford and the new darlings Widnes. The inferiority complex just isn't there anymore because SL is only half super. Half of the clubs in there are no better than those on the outside. No better at all. Just a set of Mrs Bouquet wannabees.

i work and live im leeds now and alot of the lads i work with are rhinos fans. most of them have only been watching them since 2004 just before the glory days started and have no idea about their history and other teams outside super league. leeds have always been well supported but quite alot of their fans will have only started watching from the super league era thus having no knowledge of what went on before.
same might go for teams like warrington and bradford too, i can remember going to odsal and wilderspool in the 90's and warrington and the bullls were struggling to get 3000, what do they get now,10-12000? so alot of that extra crowd will be new supporters who probably didnt watch them all those years ago when they were'nt doing as well, there'll be the old supporters too who have come back but most of these new supporters wont have a clue about what went on pre super league!!!

Some sort of history lesson may come in handy.

So you met one fan and he asked you a dumb question so every super league person fan or otherwise doesn't know you exist. Right.

I remember Halifax very well and I suspect all of my fellow fans do so there are some to get you started.

There are some very dismissive fans but they tend to be c*cks in just about everything they do. They're not worth knowing or bothering about.

You may be right but honestly do you think a lot of SL fans know any of the clubs in Championship and Championship 1???
I don't think so, especially the SL era fans.

They know they exist, they know mostly who they are, but as in the case of the overwhelming majority of fans, they care about their own club first and teams who potentially impact their club.

That doesn't excuse some of the idiocy people have encountered from certain cretins as described above. But trust me, they're not worth it. They're too thick to understand that the game is stronger when everybody is strong. That rugby league couldn't survive if it was only the top clubs that they personally follow.
