[Beaussie]

Wow, we get more fans in Australia to a home and away game than an International Rugby League test match/final can muster in London with a population 4 times the size of Australia. Real popular game that throwball eh.

[borgidiom]

if you ever watch any of these games on tv you will see Australia is more supported than England as well. 90% of the crowd is made up of ex-pats.

I have noticed that too on the odd occasion I have tuned in or watched highlights on the sports report. Like the majority of Australians the people of the UK are not fans of Rugby League either. It's clear they much prefer Soccer and Rugby Union. Much like how we Aussies prefer Australian Football over all other sports.

Good to see you enjoy a game of RL. Good story telling though. =D>

Sounds alot like a swans or Lions crowd

tell me ... were there any poms at the Challenge Cup Final ?
or at the ESL Grand Final

were they all expats too
do you feel like a complete knob right now .. cos you sure look like one

& anyway when flogball dares venture outside of Australia .. we can be quite certain of one thing
100% of the crowd being ex pats
every .. single ... spectator being aussie n coming from the Sthn States of Australia

how sad
