[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 438062, member: 34990"] I support two teams: Sale Sharks and Catalans Dragons (and then I follow several more, the main being USAP in the Top 14) Sale Sharks: I probably should support Leicester Tigers as they're the closest team to where I grew up, but even they weren't [I]that [/I]close (about an hour away) so they're not exactly a "home town" to me. My Dad's from up north (Lytham St Annes) and L.St.A's team is Fylde which has links to Sale - However he didn't really get me into Sale, it was more of a coincidence that they happened to be from where he's from. Though they're not my 'local' team I do love Sale, and everyone should support them because we're great, and that's it really. Our stadium is rubbish, Stockport isn't exactly great, but the team itself is vaguely solid (at times), the fans are great, and we've had some good players through the books in our time (including Jason 'best ever' Robinson :p ) - Also one of very few to win the Premiership, and one of only two to top the table and win the playoffs, and the first team to do so Not Union, but my other supported team is Catalans Dragons: Again, not exactly my local team, but where I grew up there is no rugby league at all, so none of the teams would be local. My parents moved to a village near Perpignan a few years ago, and it happened to be the village where Catalans Dragons house their foreign players when they first move to France, so I've seen the team training on the beach a lot, and the village is mad on them (signed shirts in windows etc.), so it seemed the logical choice to me :p USAP because of my parents living near Perpignan too [/QUOTE]
