Rugby Fans Cheat, Footballers Play Fair
Extra-marital dating agency IllicitEncounters.com shows rugby fans are more likely to cheat than football fans.
London (PRWeb UK/PRWEB ) September 9, 2009 -- Rugby is often referred to by fans as 'a gentleman's game', but that could all be about change in light of new research from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK's largest extra-marital dating site. The website, which creates a non-judgmental platform for married people to conduct affairs, has shown that, of all those members interested in sport, rugby fans dominate the site.
Rugby fans more likely to play away
Figures were taken from over 200,000 sports fans on the site. Of those selected, 57,564 declared they were fans of rugby. However, only 30794 members were interested in football, despite it being one of the most popular sports in the UK. A league table of the most popular sports is printed below.

"Rugby is often considered 'The Thinking Man's Game", says Sara Hartley, site representative. "We have released figures previously that show our members are typically more cultured, more affluent. Their choice of sport reflects that. This is why activities like cricket and golf feature higher in the league table than football, pool and darts."
"This is not to say IE is elitist. The numbers are quite evenly spread, and certainly show that across the site there is a great deal of variation within member interests."
IllicitEncounters.com has in excess of 340,000 members, and has just launched a new 'Reach Out and Reward' scheme, which pays advertisers £40 for each person who signs up for Gold membership as a result of their recommendation.
