I like watching RL on Sky yes. 1 game, in the comfort of my own living room, probably relaxing with a beer. Not sitting in a half empty stadium, in the cold watching several matches, drinking expensive beer and rip off, horrible food, and having to get a bus if I want to reach civilization again.

| Bah Humbug.
Now let's see. If we all decided next time we are on Sky at home to all sit at home rather than in a 25% full stadium, a 10 minute walk to public transport, expensive food and (not very good) ale - where would we be in a years time

Which parts are inaccurate? I know you are the number 1 MM apologist determined to defend EVERYTHING to do with the event, so I think i'll have a long wait for an answer.

| Where's all this it's cold stuff come from. I came back with a suntan. 3.50 a pint? Pretty normal and much prefer freshly pulled pints than a can. Stadium food rules. And if people are too (stick your own reason here) not to go to what's the best event in RL then there's nowt you can do about the fan numbers but spreading out with your legs on the seats in front of you supping an ice cold beer with your arms stretched out in the sun, watching live RL doesn't float yet boat then what the he'll are you doing on a website called rlfans?

If you are happy to sit there drinking awful lager for £3.50, eating over-priced stadium food in a half empty stadium then thats up to you
I had a great time watching select matches on the TV and will be looking forward to watching live RL in the form of a home match
Oh and can't wait until Wembley in August, a proper event, history, passion and excitement, something those at Murrayfield could only dream of

Cold - We managed to go a large part of both days in short sleeves, we even got sunburnt.
Food - Some of the best catering at a large venue, plenty of choice, it was hot fresh and edible, the burgers were pricey but everything else was on a par with events of a similar size.
Beer - Belhaven or Tenants, cold and fizzy, yes it was expensive but as a beer was only 50p cheaper in the pub over the road, not that much of a rip off. How much is the ale at The Stoop now? £3 a pint?
Middle of nowhere? Hardly, a 10 min walk in either direction took you to areas with several pubs, restaurants and takeaways.
See I tend to base things on my experiences not those of others.
So you don't like the idea, we get that. What I don't understand is your determination that others shouldn't have the chance of enjoying a weekend away. You are beginning to get like Mugwump, can survive 10 minutes without being in an arm chair or a Weatherspoons...

The irony of that coming from Mr Stayaway himself
Was MM your first game of the season?

No need to check in (although not seen you this season, having been to all but 2 of our fixtures) just interesting how you get all high and mighty when you decide to actually watch the team you claim to support after swerving the majority of the fixture list yourself

Where have I done this? I understand you don't want to go to an event, fair enough but to have such an opinion on it without experiencing it? But hey, knock yourself out, if all you are bothered about is the number of games we've both seen this season you ain't worth the effort.

So I assume by that logic you can't have an opinion on the set up and concept of any event if you haven't been?

How can you assume that? Your opinions weren't on the concept, you were judging the ale, weather and food quality with even being in the same country
But hey you keep having you willy measuring competition over the number of games you've seen, you'll get your superfan medal one day

Again, nothing I posted was inaccurate, and I have posted plenty about the concept of it on this thread, but feel free to keep playing the "you weren't there so you don't know" card, if you do, you ain't worth the effort.

Yawn. Your pathetic attempts to turn this into a debate of how many games we get to is laughable. You are just showing your insecurities, I don't care how many games i get to, it doesn't make me any less a fan than you.

I asked you to point out the inaccuracies in my third hand reports. You actually succeeded in confirming them. Nice one. Enjoy the half empty stadium and drinking £3.50 beer all day? Cool.

Yes I am very insecure indeed I've been beside myself since I missed the magificent event in Edinburgh. I haven't known where to turn so I took my agressions out on you.
Maybe next time re-consider your attempts at using an "armchair" dig as being the best way forward, you'll make less of a fool of yourself
