I can understand the homesickness, being a Wire in London. Never really had it myself but the lack of people who talked about rugby or even heard of 'league' did get me down did get me down a bit.
Watched Quins plenty of times and as much as i love watching the rugby at the Stoop it's not the same atmosphere, saying that 3 empty stands does that. Maybe it is the same for the players, they just don't get the same intensity.

I hope Quins can sort it out though

Quote nottinghamtiger="nottinghamtiger"Perhaps he feels the need to get away from people like this eh, Damo? www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1GfnmDGFr8'" He’s coming back up North for people and times like me. The thing is with London although I’ve never been it does seem to be pretty dull. Well that’s when I’ve seen it on Christmas day with the Queens speech.

good grief

I can see why London might be more attractive than up North, you can go anywhere without being recognised, just go out to the shops without signing autographs, and as others have said, being comparatively rich and young in london would be sweet!

Being from the shire you will feel right at home in a stadium with a small crowd, underperforming team and no atmosphere! You might struggle to find aussie flag to drape yourself in and a Lebanese to beat up though to make you feel like your really back in Cronulla!
