Who the hell is going to travel up from Bristol to watch a game no matter how turned on they are. However you may raise the interest in an an entire family in Harrogate who may decide to give say Leeds a go, or re awaken an interest in someone from Salford. Far more likely to succeed both short and long term. Maximise you earnings were you are strong first and when you have use it to spread the word. Truth is RL is still not as strong as it should be in it's own back yard.
When there are 14 SL teams all in modern stadiums and all selling out then it's time to spread the game. This
Which Australia is this? The one which expanded to take in the Warriors? The one which subsidises the strategic expansion club Melbourne Storm? The one which has taken games to expansion areas like Perth, Adelaide, Wellington, Waikato, which are literally thousands of miles from their home grounds? The one which took in teams from Adelaide, Perth, Auckland, Melbourne, Canberra? The one which deliberately targeted certain TV markets for new clubs? or the one which is talking about admitting a team from 2000miles away from Sydney in Perth or 1700miles away in Port Moresby?
interest in the NRL sydney isnt 'at breaking point' it is massively over-catered for, its why so many Sydney Clubs are in so much financial difficulty. That is why the NRL is needing to expand, and its why it almost certainly wont be in Sydney

| I can totally see why the RFL are putting their eggs into the two broadcast areas rather than national, as has been said above, their are no teams outside of them barring London.
Whilst I think the RFL haven't helped the London cause in any way shape or form it would be a waste of money (at this moment in time) investing to broadcast to the London regions purely on the basis that getting possibles to travel 1-2 hours to a 'home' game when the team itself is in flux/about to move and hasn't performed for a good many years isn't a good starting point.
Similarly the North East regions, too far away from a SL club for it to make any impact, even more so in these depressed times.
However, if the RFL were to get clubs to play 'on the road' games in marketed areas it might at least raise interest not just for watching SL on the box but getting more local interest in the amateur game, having two local teams play a warm up beforehand.
For instance London play Hull or Leeds at a football club in the Herts/North London area, then get Hemel to play Scholars. Maybe have Saints/Wigan at the Ricoh with Coventry Bears v?
Both Challenge cup semis on the same day at a strategic football ground away from the heartlands would be an idea. I wouldn't mind seeing the CC final at somewhere like the Emirates but parking is shocking .
I think we certainly need more brand awareness, but small steps before taking big ones is the way to go.

| Quote: bramleyrhino "Completely agree.
A previous poster used Harrogate as an example. This is a town with no RL presence and is (or should) be right in the battleground for the likes of Leeds, Bradford and York.'"
York is a battleground for York when it comes to Leeds Rhinos!

Slightly wrong ITV HD Granada is only shown in Northern regions so it will be shown in Border and Tyne Tees

some people cant do wrong for doing right!!!!!!!'"
What a lame duck answer designed to appease the constantly self congratulating drones who populate these boards.
It was a good inquiry. I suspect the answer is cold hard cash but it's a point worth making.

| Quote: CM Punk "Considering Wigan have run numerous adverts in similar slots on Granada, I'm disappointed that the RFL didn't try to expand just slightly to the Midlands or North East.'"
Exactly, Midlands would be the first area I would have targeted. Also the Cardiff and Bristol regions for the advert as well, it would have been a feeder advert for the world cup matches being played down there. Maybe we should change the M5 signs to read the M62.
