Rugby League can't be considered in the same breath. Culturally, our prevalence is weak. And so how people perceive League matters a great deal. Kids these days - and I'm talking about in the heartlands, too - are growing up on football, in some households League might matter a bit, but generally, it unfortunately doesn't. The big problem is failing to keep hold of kids in the transition stage, that stage between primary school and adulthood. Rugby does it, because rugby is the sport of the establishment... we aren't, and we aren't going to become one any time soon. So what's needed is, more than anything, an attractive image. We must be, and I hate myself for using this word, 'hip'. If we're serious about expanding, that is.

I know what you mean. I work in St. Helens and all the lads in their 20's and thirties may show a passing interest in the Saints but seem to be much more interested in Manchester United. The main topic of conversation is soccer, Rugby League comes second.
Maybe what the clubs should do is try to get lads between the ages of about 12-15 down to the grounds with a gang of mates as something to do with their time on Friday evenings/Sunday afternoons. Get them spending their pocket money. Charge £5 to get in (on the gate to make it easy). Boosts the crowds and hopefully some of them will continue watching for life. £14 (at Wigan) is a lot of money for juniors to pay. |
