Wigan Warriors - The Yankees of NW England

On Friday, Andrew, his son James and I went to a home game of the Wigan Warriors, the most famous rugby league team in the UK. Please note that there are two types of rugby play, Union and League. Union is considered more posh and technically oriented while League is about getting down to brass tacks. JJB Stadium is where the home matches are held and it's a short 25 minute walk from our flat. The stadium is big enough to be exciting but small enough to see everything up close. And the game is great fun to watch (love the skimpy uniforms)! Interestingly though, I got to see a whole new side of Andrew. Let's just say he's one notch up (or is it down?) from a face painter!!
