Isle of Man Rugby League supporters : Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:33 pm  

On the ferry back to the Isle of Man after the 2008 Grand Final a group of us decided it'd be a good idea to try to start up a supporters group for Rugby League fans who live here and also to try to promote the game a bit more over here. As a starting point to this we have arranged with the Welbeck Hotel in Douglas to let us use their function room on Friday nights to watch the Super League games on the big screen (subject to it not being pre-booked by paying guests). This will also be a useful time and place for us all to meet up. Our first meeting / match to watch will be Saints v Warrington next Friday (13 Feb), and then hopefully every Friday after that. If anyone on here lives in the Isle of Man, or if you have friends here who might be interested then please let me know. Please contact Stephen (email - abu447@talk21.com) for further details.

I still have trouble believing that he isn't an alias. I want to believe it, most of the time, but I just can't.
