"... still going strong ..."
Terrible phrasing. I can't imagine anything more defeatist.

OK. Somebody else suggested that wording a while ago and I thought you'd picked it up from that.

I'm pretty sure we beat Wigan in the first game, I think the score was 24 - 5.

Was Wigan according to Wiki!

"Nearly 10,000 curious fans turned up for the opening game at Craven Cottage, most of whom were watching their first ever live Rugby League match. The newly formed side surprisingly beat highly regarded Wigan 24-5. Fulham RL went on to win promotion at the end of their inaugural season."

Shame we can't find a few more of those "curious" fans
