apologies...comment about the merseyside teams i don't understand. i was a liverpool season ticket holder throughout the 80's and never saw or heard any racial abuse...my earlier comment was wrong and i apologise !..town still smells though!


Fair do's, my friend.

I seem to remember that John Barnes was the first black player Liverpool signed, and there was some disquiet about that. The fact that he turned out to be a fan favourite helped enormously, but I remember some disquiet at his signing. Having said that, Everton waited even longer, I think.

Huddersfield is lacking in many other ways, and therefore I have no issue with your view that it is a generally sub-standard town that props a team that is undeserving of the town's affection. :D

Just while we are on the issue of diversity, I do think that this is one area that the rugby league ought to target. We are not and have never been a racist sport. The game is big (I think) in the former Soviet Union states, the inhabitants of which are making communities in England. There must be a market there.

Disgraceful comment.

In rugby league, we have the greatest sporting spectacle in the world, and it is a shame that we have not been able to make inroads into the communities that populate many of the so-called heartland towns and cities. If someone is prepared to cross that white line with a rugby ball in their hand, I salute you, regardless of level, ethinicity, religion, etc. To post anything that suggests that someone from a non-white background is unwelcome at a rugby league event shows a lack of knowledge of a game that has always ignored colour prejudices, that was fielding black players decades before the Merseyside football teams were able to applaud themselves for not throwing banana skins onto the pitch for doing the same, and was the first Great Britain team to have a non-white captain in Ellery Hanley. And this comment came from someone who supports a team that has played in a ground that has been in a diverse neighbourhood for decades that has rarely objected to our presence and disruption that we cause.
I lived in St Catherine Street in the early 1970's, and it was as diverse then as it is now, and so shame on you.



Rant over.
