Maybe Stephen Jones was on the hunt for the board's biggest pedant......

You are RLFANS' biggest pedant and I claim my £5

Depends how you define counties, as if you want to go on the current administrative subdivisions you'll find huge numbers don't play rugby league, you can't use the 1974-96 counties. But if you want to exclude Westmorland then you have to at least include Isle of Wight.

But yes I'd like to see evidence of rugby league in those counties, as champions schools certainly isn't universal, in the midlands I think it's 'just' based on Telford, Redditch, Coventry, Birmingham, Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield and Northampton and maybe surrounding areas. Certainly there's nothing in Herefordshire or Rutland, so that in itself proves the statement a lie

Does make you laugh when folk say rugby league is confined to the M62 corridor.
Afetr you've pointed out the obvious ones like Cumbria, London and South Wales you point them to the Summer Conference

32 posts since Saturday and you've commented on Aussie players in SL, North/south devide(sic) & football/rl ground shares.

Are you the anti-Albert?
