I am picketing the offices of the Daily Telegraph in London next Thursday 1 December. You can see a video of me explaining why I am doing this herehttps://www.thelifedept.co.uk/livelonger/footer-featured-c/the-daily-telegraphs-coverage-of-the-rugby-league/rl

There will be two or three of us in attendance with other London based fans saying they’ll try and bob over for a while.
I have already had a quite a few messages critical of media coverage and I am going to print them off and display them outside their offices. This will show that many people are fed up with the shameful coverage our sport gets. If you have something you want to say to staff at the Daily Telegraph please email me at rl

This makes me wonder how many complaints the Telegraph is getting but more to the point why it does nothing improve? Another fan has pointed out that Telegraph.co.uk does not list rugby league in its sports section in the toolbar unlike other newspapers websites. Convenient for saying you don’t get many people looking at rugby league stories online and justifying little coverage in the paper? Ignorance or, as some think, malice?

If you live in the north west I could possibly collect your team flag or banner, further afield you’d need to post it to me. I will return everything of course (but make sure I have your address). Drop me an email to the address above. As you’ll see from today’s blog I already have a Hunslet flag. Thanks very much Pat, it will be an honour and privilege to display the pride of Leeds at 111 Buckingham Palace Road Thursday next. I hope it serves to educate and enlighten the workers at the UK’s supposedly leading quality newspaper.

Thank you to those fans that have emailed me their best wishes.

I think I might send an email to the DT congratulating them on their new stance. I used to buy the DT fairly regularly and this might might make my switch back.

Good work mate, you've made a difference and brought our coverage plight directly to the attention of one of the biggest newspapers in the country. Compare that with the 100's on here who sit and angrily type about the lack of coverage and do nothing - a fine job.

nb - I would also like to echo the sentiment that Lister and IWTID's criticism is pathetic.

Great stuff.

Begs the question whether employees of the RFL take the trouble to pressurise the media into covering the game better.
