Who are you really?

Neils:
Good idea.

Neils is actually Neil surprise surprise. I too am from North of the border but from a far better place!! Actually an Edinburgh fan and find myself strangely cheering on Cockers after years of him being the devil. Lovely man now. Rarely get to see them live these days. Wasps STH from Adams Park days. Started out in the glory days taking my two boys to the family stand and good to say both still go to watch live when their jobs allow. Was sold on Coventry by talking to Nick (and cheekily asking for dog kennels) at Marlow and decided to give it a go. Been enjoyable so far!
Our journey from Essex's Capital City is generally only half an hour more than Wycombe but constant roadworks always knacker us - currently A14 and M6. Been down here for nearly 33 years.
Played rugby for a number of years up there and realised my limitations when facing a coming back from injury Andy Irvine - couldn't get anywhere near the B#%$&#d.
I worked in security for the government based in Whitehall and am glad to be rid of it.
We happily sit in the West Stand in A under the press seats which can be interesting. My wife has twice told Farrell junior to shut up and sit down.

Raggs:
I'm Karl. Spent 11 years in Israel, now back in the UK, whilst there started watching more rugby, decided to start following club rugby and picked a club that had some fun exciting players and played an attractive style. That was 2012 I believe. Been supporting Wasps since.

Been to the Ricoh a few times, and hope to keep making visits, but it's a bit of a journey, and fairly costly, especially as it really does need to be accompanied with a night in a hotel. Doubly so when I was in Israel!

Work from home now. Loving working from home, normally start around 7.30/8am, and do a clearout at around 10/11pm, but that gives me a huge amount of flexibility during the day itself, which really suits me.

bargepole:
I'm David, and started watching Wasps at Sudbury in 1964. I'd play my school rugby match on a Saturday morning, then get on the tube to Sudbury Town, then home to Harrow from there. After leaving school at 18, I played for Wasps colts and then the senior sides, once making the Second XV during a flu epidemic.

After a bad leg break, I gave up playing for a few years, got married, moved to High Wycombe, and took up playing again when my son started in Mini Rugby and I attended RFU coaching courses. He went to the RGS, and played at Twickenham in the Daily Mail Schools Cup U15 final in 1998, a proud moment for me.

I didn't go to many games at the soulless Loftus Road, but when they moved to Adams Park, went to most home games there. The Ricoh is a big chunk of time commitment including travelling time, so I now only do 2 or 3 home games a season, and go to the away games at Sarries and Quins, and TW2 if we're playing there. Subscribing to BT Sport is generally much easier and cheaper.

Brandnewtorugby:
I'm Martin and live in Knowle. I grew up in Molesey and lived in Twickenham and then Hersham before moving to Knowle about ten years ago. I knew several Wasps supporters when I lived in the London area so perhaps that's where my interest started, but my first game was a loss to Cardiff Blues in the Anglo Welsh Cup at the Ricoh.

I first went with my lad and some friends from Round Table, all of us were  new to rugby at he time. Went to the next game with my whole family and we all just kept going back and then became season ticket holders. My lad started playing not long after we started watching and I think watching it has helped him a lot.

I mostly work from home writing chemical safety data sheets. I have a german shepherd dog and recently I have placed a deposit on a Street Twin motorbike, but collect it in a week or so and look forward to going for a bumble around and a coffee with Trevor / Nelly at some point.

Harry the wasp:
I'm Spartacus and so is my wife.
