Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

I take your points on board Jono but lets look at the example of Quins/Fulham/London Broncos.

At one time,one of the most successful business men in Briton(Branson) owned them,even he couldn't get the team to take off!Their matches are still regularly covered on BBC radio in London but they find it impossible to attract decent crowds.I don't understand why?I don't understand why in South Manchester just a few miles from Warrington that nobody in a pub will even look at the screen when theres a big RL match on.And they only allow you to watch,if there is absolutely no other sport on TV.

I tend to think that RL diehards seem to think they are some sort of victim of a media conspiracy.A favourite phrase i've read on various message boards is 'we would be the number one sport in the country if we had wendy balls coverage'.

I don't know the answers,i just find it odd.How you can have a comparitive RL 'hotbed' in Warrington and no interest a few miles down the road.
