We are. Just and have a look at the parks on a Saturday and Sunday morning and see what the kids are playing.
At my lad's age group, there were 7 divisions of football (11 a side). Granted there are quite a few out of town teams but there were many more Warrington based football teams than Rugby teams.
Growing up in the late 80's/early 90's, my age group had two football leagues. When I started playing Rugby, there was a choice of two teams and they ended up merging as one team folded.
In my 20's, I was playing Saturday and Sunday league football. Again there were enough teams to support five or six leagues and only a handful or RL teams.
I also find that if I'm talking to people out and about, at work or in pubs, there are a lot more football fans than rugby fans.
