Yes I did. RL gets a token gesture every decade or so,scraps from the table if you will.It really does my head in thank you very much.

Wasn't St Helens the token gesture a few years back then?

Excactly that.Still pi$$es me right off though.

As long as the ‘Old School Tie’ brigade resides in the controlling positions at the Beeb then Rugby League will always be the poorer relation.

Doing away with the licence fee will in turn bring a commercially driven organisation which will require a dynamic change of management at Aunties house but whilst they have billions of unearned public pounds at their disposal they’ll continue with their ‘Jobs for the boys’ recruitment criteria.

I dislike the organisation with a passion and truly resent paying the Licence Fee.

Total Agreement LS16. My old man worked for auntie for 25 years and you wouldn't believe the money they pour down the drain. Mind you,at a local level I can't fault them,on the radio at least.

You sir are an utter & complete fool.
Do you really believe that ITV provides better broadcast fare than the BBC?
Do you really believe that ITV is free?
Are you prepared to pay Sky type subscriptions - in my case about £700 annually compared with £ 170 for the BBC?
The BBC is by no means perfect but it is better than most other providers across the globe that I've seen.
You clearly want a diet of crap reality shows & you probably deserve them.
Rant over.

BBC > ITV

The BBC is like the NHS, we should improve it not do away with it simply because its not perfect.

SPOTY over X factor anyday

Watching Paint dry> scratching my eyeballs out> SPOTY> setting my hair on fire> Death> X factor

SPOTY live from the Leeds arena 2012 anyone???

My opinion doesn’t make me a fool my friend. I’m forced by legislation, to purchase a T.V. licence. I have no choice, there is on consumer decision, there is no informed choice. I HAVE to buy a licence!

This means that the Been have no commercial pressure to produce quality programming, only an obligation which the continue to fail with.

Let’s take the Chris Moyles show on Radio 1. There is a staff of 14 to produce that particular show – 14. I have a friend that hosts a breakfast show on a commercial radio station which, in my opinion produces a quality output – this show has a staff of three.

Why does it take 14 people to produce one 3.5 hour show? Simple answer, it doesn’t but because there are no commercial constraints imposed they can continually be frivolous with my cash.

Their sport output is bordering on nonexistent and the little coverage they give to RL is poor by comparison.

You my friend are harping back to an era where there were only two channels and the BBC was outputting, by comparison, quality programming. Those days are long gone and Auntie needs to move with the times but, like yourself, they’re stuck in the past with absolutely no pressure to bring them into the 21st century.

Expecting to be nominated for team of the year for winning the league . How many thousands of teams have won their respective leagues across the country and not been nominated?

Wasnt expecting a nomination for the Rhinos , but the decision to give the award to the England cricket Team was a joke

Cmon admit it, was you suprised?

I wont be suprised when they're in the New Years honours list either.
