Hehe. Maybe start a separate one purely for that? :P
I used to try get under the screen at Headingley (mainly out of vanity so i could see myself as it went to the Video ref) but the screen is a distraction at times, and besides, if you're right underneath it you can't really see whats going on anyway. Trust me, for atmosphere and singing the scoreboard is the best place to go.

Hope you guys enjoyed the day, irrespective of the result.

We did. Fantastic game to watch, even though we lost. He thoroughly enjoyed his first game
We did go and stand under the score board. I didn't stop singing all game! Once he knew the words to a few of our songs, he started joining in, but I walked away with my throat killing, a few octaves lower than usual! And once the fight broke out.... brilliant lol

Yup, it was awesome! Great first game for me to go to! Its just a pitty I live down in London/Loughborough all year otherwise I'd go to more haha.
Yeah its way too costly and time consuming for me to go during the holidays. Not sure what it'd be like during term time from Loughborough though..
I might try to make a few 'quins games next summer, much more convenient. I dont really support anyone but I'd say I'm interested in Saints and Quinns, so watching either of them play would be good for me =)
I must admit, I went to watch a few Harlequins games whilst I was down there. The Quins fans are very firendly and very welcoming and the team play some attractive Rugby at times. Its great that you can turn up to a neutral RL game wearing a shirt representing neither of the two teams playing and have no trouble whatsoever.
Are you hoping to get to one of the playoff games?

I would do but I doubt any of them are being played down south? It could be quite costly getting up to any of the others, with also the issue of having to find somewhere to stay (I dont currently drive).
You can always crash on someones sofa if you need to.

I'm from West Sussex and make it up about 4 or 5 times a season. Have met up with the exiles and they are very friendly and welcoming bunch.
I stopped smoking and my brother called me a quitter
Southern Saint let us know when your coming up again mate!
I travel up for games from Shrewsbury, would be good to meet up with other exiles for a pint of pop!!
