And the loan will be going back into public coffers in its entirety, presumably plus a bit of interest too. I'd have thought there would be no more secure an investment than a loan to an ordinary employee.

I can't believe we're going down the 'well it doesn't happen in my company' route again as a route to slagging off public sector workers, it's so dull. My employer would probably make itself a few quid and gain a better morale among its workers if it offered reasonably-priced loans to employees.

Bloody hell leave the lad alone, so much for Lupus non mordet lupum eh?

Plus One, there really are some s on here.

Seems you can't win either way, you don't go you're an arm chair supporter, go occassionally you're a bandwagoner go every game and you're sad. Fair play to the fella and great commitment well done

Absobloodylutely.

Absobloodylutely.

I'm guessing he was amongst the elite that went to see us against Catalans all those years ago? You know, when Briers (I think it was Briers) quoted the magic number of true fans.

To be honest I don't think there is much guess-work required. I suppose there is a clue soemewhere in the story to whether he went to that match or not.

go on i`ll play..i was once fully committed not so long ago,never been a bandwagoner,never lived in london and never ever will..and now im an arm chair fan but will be there for future finals(mini bandwagoner)..

Top bloke is Craig (formerly Fat Craig as he used to call himself). No better Wire fan than this guy.

fair play to the guy.... that's a tremendous bit of supporting.

The ones that say he's sad probably religiously watch X Factor and Big Brother... Fair play to Craig i've only ever managed to do 2 seasons without missing a game since i started going in 1989..

i think its an amazing achievement. ive travelled a bit to watch sport, and he will have an amazing time. the places where he is going are some of the best in the world, and to catch a wire game tops it.
for next years preseason i hope they come down my way!

p.s....is he the guy who used to sell the "house of pain" or was it "t,f and the wire" outside of wilderspool?

Craig did sell "The House Of Pain" & he also did some of the interviews in the magazine.
"The House Of Pain" was sold under the 5A bus stop at Wilderspool. Not sure if Craig still lives at Paddington.

I loved house of pain great Fanzine..

Top comment Monsieur Invisible. Craig is a great bloke and his knowledge and appreciation of the greatest game, surpasses his love for the Wire.

First class stamp increasing by two pence. I think it is fair to say, we all know where the increase is going.....

Good luck to the lad. It's a superb achievement. I bet he's not married and has kids to support though.

That's not derogatory just plain matter of fact. It's his life to live.

You'd be surprised....Whilst he isn't married, he is responsible for numerous fatherless children all along the M62 corridor....Those Sunday afternoons haven't just been about Rugby....

i'd like to point out i have taken great delight on a few occasions by threatening to make him miss a few matches by pretending to withdraw the offer of a lift right at the last minute just to watch him sweat! london always works!

last time i gave him a lift he drank 23 cans of carling there and back, he gave me petrol money and his last can out of the crate for driving!!!

Goes just for the rugby then

He's also a top postman who goes the extra mile for his customers. My mum thinks the world of him.

My postman seems to go the extra mile, that's why I get my post about twenty to four.

Can't help yourself can you.
