I couldn't agree more about using the web. I even mentioned to Paul Kimberley of the RFL that YouTube the second largest search engine in the world, are actively looking to promote sport as a vertical that they are concentrating on. The response I got was that YouTube would have the opportunity to bid like anyone else. I tried to let him know that since YouTube and the sports marketing position is based in the US that they probably haven't even heard of our sport. They just don't seem to get it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the RFU pro actively approach YouTube and get their brand even more widespread.

I get that a lot too... Most of the time it's people wanting to talk RL but who don't follow any particular team themselves but do pay attention when they notice coverage on the TV and/or Radio.
The CEO and COO of my company were talking to me in the office kitchen yesterday (dress down day, wearing my wire "Johns" polo shirt), and were surprisingly knowledgable about RL and were also quite keen to talk about the '54 cup final replay and the crowd that day. Very bizarre conversation.

That's pretty good! I've got my Warrington 2009 Wembley scarf pinned above my desk and I'm surprised at how many people have spotted in and just wandered over (I work over in Calderdale, so there's no shortage of RL enthusiasts, which is good).

You're either doing missionary work, or we're a massive club
Can definitely see the point though. If I saw someone in a RL shirt on a train and especially on holiday etc then I certainly wouldn't hesitate in a passing comment about their team/RL in general. I remember the first time I went on a foreign holiday about 13-14 years ago and getting a load of comments about my Leigh shirt (funnily enough, a lot of those turned out to be Leythers as well!!). I've also lost count of the amount of times I've been in Wigan Asda when wearing a Leigh RL jacket and ending up being stopped by a random pie eater to have a chat about the sport.
