Now that's dedication

Not what you would call a Part time Supporter!!!

Well done.

More like a part time postman.

He's just another one of these bandwagon fans...

That is absolutely outstanding.

Impressive commitment. Bit sad in another respect but fair play to him.

works loan?

So the taxpayer has paid for his trip to Aus. Bloody hell, public sector workers get everything!

Wonder if hes in 1st class or 2nd class?

Well, clearly the public sector isn't paying for the trip, as that isn't what a loan is. Still, it's a very generous package so he's been lucky.

Been in this mans company on more than one occasion post match in Wilkies.

Top supporter.

Now i like watching wire home and away,but for me this is bit sad.I mean to spend all that money traveling all that distance.Just to watch a game of rugby.Not for me,will the club give him a medal saying the worlds biggest wire.I cant see the point if am being honest.

HI Craig its me kate, got a free day wills is away, anyway me and Pippa are lubed to the max, bored and nothing to do, any chance of us calling around yours.......err no can do girls, i know its -3 and hing down but on me way to watch the Wire at Barrow....................if Carling done rugby league fans.

I've known Craig since he was a wee boy, and its fair to say that he's more committed to his rugby than any woman, if you get my drift...



Yes, it may seem a bit sad to those of us who consider that we have lives, with partners and kids and all the trappings that come with that, but each to their own, he is enjoying himself and isn't harming anybody...

Great Shout..

Craig is an unassuming supporter who cringes at being labelled a “Superfan” or the suggestion that he should be rewarded by the club for his commitment. He never, ever mentions his feat to anyone and will only talk about it if repeatedly badgered to do so.

It’s inevitable that he will be labelled “sad” by some, but if you think that a home game demands three hours, and the average away game, about five or six hours of your week, and Wires play for only eight months of the year, I dare say that many other people spend far more time, on average, spouting their opinions on internet rugby league forums, which by the way, is something Craig never does. Who’s the sadder?

It’s the same with the “Awww, bless him” attitudes, which intimate that a more rewarding and socially acceptable use of 20+ years of one’s life is to get married and raise a family. They should note that there are many who view these lifestyle commitments with reciprocal sympathetic bemusement….”Can’t do anything interesting with your day because you’ve got entertain the kids – aww bless.”

He’s got a bird, by the way. Non-feathered.

good luck to the lad,he works as a postie not a dole scrounger so he pays his wack.what he does with his own time is up to him and obviously watching the wire is something that he loves doing,he`s not harming anyone at all in fact having known craig for many a year he defo would`nt harm anyone..those who are having a pop by saying its sad wanna take a look at their own lives or is it pure jealousey...well done craig by the way

If i could do that, and live a happy productive mortgage paying life too, i would.

Craig.

The loan is coming from the public coffers.

What chances your employer would give you a company loan, whilst taking three-plus weeks leave?

Correct!

Your dad and your Uncle Paul used to go all over the place watching Warrington.Pre season aswell.

Craig has got a loan off his work, which he will pay back plus interest. His 3 weeks away comes off his holiday entitlement, personally, I don't have a problem with employees doing what they want with their holidays.

As for getting the loan off his workplace, it used to be a common practice, though very few companies still do it. A lot of companies used to also pay ( without payback) a course at college/ university that had nothing at all to do with their job,( I did one) it was called investing in people ims, again, it is very rarely done nowadays.

You enjoy your hols Craig, and bring me back a Koala.
ps/ Keep away from Kings Cross.

They did, I'm sure. I think the thing is though that this is a preseason game in Australia. I would have enjoyed to go, but I think it's spending a lot of money for one preseason game. Had this been the WCC or some other proper game then I wouldn't comment on it. Fair play to him for the rest of the games, it's a great achievement, but for me this is one step too far.

Just a question about the 1000 games, it's ofer 27 years, which is about 37/38 games a season. Is he including all preseason games and others? Obviously I've not been watching all that time, so was their more trophies which got this value right up?
