Yes one of my close friends from radio worked for Bronco and when I ended my connections with BARLA as a Lancashire & Great Britain Youth selector I sponsored many of their players until I retired, I have never hidden that! Again one friend's son played for Warrington & Wigan, yes I went to many of his games, I am not parochial, I love the game itself, not just one club,as I did as a youngster at Knowsley Road, that is not hypocrisy, it's being honest!
Again and I have mentioned it here on a thread I finished regularly watching Saints in my early 20's, I ran a St Helens Amateur RL Club, with an Under 16 and Under 18 side, at that time St Helens had a minimum of 8 Under 16's team in The North West Counties League, Andy Platt played for us when at West Park. Then the St Helens Board decided to start their own team as a The Crusaders, we debated it with the Saints board many times what this would do the the local game,but they did not agree, and within a season it was down to just two local Under 16's teams! interesting no other professional side choose this path? It was then I was asked to become a BARLA Lancashire Youth Selector and two years later a Great Britain Youth Selector, so weekends were taken being sent to watch players to assess them, and was not able to watch as much live professional matches. I was born in the town and never moved out except working in London for a short six month period to set up a new radio station so of course my home town club interests me.
I stated clearly I do not agree with Our Countries Courts & Laws being controlled by The EU, I will never change from that.
Eamon? indifferent, no one upsets me!
