A majority of games are boring, that's not arrogance just opinion.If anything it probably stems from us being sh*te for so long.
My experience of the Wilderspool days, you went there not knowing who would turn up, if we would wipe the floor with them or get battered (unless it was the forgone conclusion that is Saints). It was always good fun though, either moaning at a lacklustre performance or excited at beating a team you wasn't so sure you'd beat.
The atmosphere at the HJ can be amazing, but it's rare and usually only against local rivals and big clubs like Leeds and Hull.
On another point i used to come to the Broncos/Harlequins/Broncos games if i couldn't get up north or i finished work early, used to love getting my fix and mixing and chatting with both sets of fans.
Now the atmosphere is dreadful, i'll pop to probably a game(Wire) possibly two a season, occasionally i'll only come to meet up with my mate a Broncos youth coach the game is just an aside.
The Stoop is soulless, the rugby is dire.
