You got my point entirely wrong. My point is that it is better to repeatedly and methodically expose somewhere to the sport, rather than a casual occasional gesture.

The sport's problem more than anything is surely our relative lack of national exposure. If you live in places like Brum, you're not likely to take an interest in RL unless someone brings it to you, and makes an event of it.

Exactly. Excellent post. I still think some games in a large untapped urban area not too far from the heartland would be worth a go as well, though.
