[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 728451, member: 53362"] Strange I always found football fans etc think themselves superior to any sport. This tends to show itself quite acutely when the subject of ground sharing comes along. Listening to radio phone ins etc it's clear that when rugby and football clubs share grounds the football fans always feel like the senior partners and demand they should always take priority. Remember the problem sale had with Stockport county and Nottingham had with notts county. Wasps brought the richo and the Coventry fans went mad at work . How dare a bunch of egg chasers own their ground. That should have been given to Coventry city ! I did point out to them that they had the chance to buy it and if Coventry city had managed themselves better they would have been in position to buy it but they look at you like you have a second head, they honestly cannot comprehend why the world shouldn't revolve around them. Also a few years ago several of us went to a pub in Nottingham for a bit of an all day affair and there happened to be sevens on the tv. We were sat watching it enjoying a pint when 3 football fans came in and demanded not asked demanded the barman changed the channel because some game was on. The bar man who we had been having a laugh with refused saying that group of rugby players over there were watching it. One of them turned round and actually said "turning this **** off lads there's a proper game on" to which our tight head prop suggested that he might want to leave the pub while he still had a head on his shoulders, again they honestly believed the whole world revolved around there sport. It's very arrogant and gets right up my nose. [/QUOTE]
