Well,

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Rebiz podcast and I'm joined by a man who's normally playing 10 for a rugby union side, but this week was just watching rugby league.

What's happened?

Well, Clodagh, it's...

It's simple.

You know, Richman played on Friday night.

I wasn't involved again for the team.

They went up to not him. Unfortunately lost by one point. Gutting. Still relegations then? Still near the bottom. Not relegation, mate. But they're doing it right. And I just thought, you know, life is about trying things. Yeah. And I'd never been to a rugby league game. And boy, it was an experience, mate.

I sort of went there, sort of trying to, I fly the flag for the Union.

Yeah, yeah.

For the Union boys, just show these rugby league guys, you know, what we're all about.

I told all my friends, when I just took two mates down, I said, look, don't call me Archie today.

Call me Lash Gordon. Right, okay. We got there and it was a spicy atmosphere. It was pretty loose. A lot of northerners. Right. Something I've not been around a lot in my life. Okay. How did you adapt? Um, it took a while. Luckily, I've been reading a few SAS booksAS books. So I just sort of kept my head down,

observed. And what I could tell, I just sort of said the odd thing, get ball, get ball out,

get ball out. But yeah, no, it was interesting. I would say hospitality really needs a bit of work on there. It's certainly no

Twikers. Why what happened? Well, I don't know. When you go to Twikers, there's a real buzz. You know,

you're just drinking warm Guinness. You're surrounded by other people wearing Gilles. That's

one thing I noticed. There weren't a lot of jolets there. Oh, God. The hospitality had the

vibe of a service station on the M1. A lot of people on their last legs, quite a lot of big wobbly chassis. And there wasn't a real budget. You couldn't get out. Security was tight. You couldn't go out. Can it back for a sickie? Well, no, because, you know, I do enjoy a dart. You love a stadium sick, don't you? I do enjoy a dart when I'm drinking. I do enjoy a dart when I'm drinking.

I mean, I know a lot of young kids watch this. I know dart's okay. It's a good look. Yeah, especially if you're a single guy. Yeah, just take a break, have a quick dart. So did you meet any northern? So seats were brilliant on the halfway line. England got pummeled. But the highlight of my whole experience was I sat next to a guy called Paul from Wigan and his son, Greg, who were both, his son was

14 years old, lovely guy. They were both chining rum and coax the whole way through. Both of them.

Yeah, yeah. And they had a wonderful father and son relationship where he'd send his son out to go and get him rum and coaxed. Even though he got braces on, he was getting served, which I thought was, which was lovely. And actually it added to the atmosphere of the stadium. Well, we're talking about sort of parent and son, parent-daughter relationships. We've got Halloween coming up. Are you celebrating? Ooh, spooky. You know what is the speaking fact, actually? I was sort of looking through my deal sheet this week, and I've realised that in the past five years, I've never not done a deal in Halloween week. Really? Ooh, Spooky. That should be...
