| If there is a simple answer as to who represents the supporters, then would someone please let me know?
I have been involved with WiSCA, the Wildcats Supporters Club; Wildcats Squadbuilder and, for the past 5 years, SWAG - the Stadium Wakefield Action Group. In that time I have yet to come across a single group which has galvanised us, the moaning and groaning supporters of our game, into a representative body who can lobby on behalf of our sport in any numbers.
So, for now, we all come on here and complain about the BBC coverage, the Sky commentry team, the lack of any decent media coverage and the imbalance between League and Union etc etc...! Why we even take issue with our games administrators on countless occasions, only to lack the cohesive voice.
What we have done with SWAG is to create a focal point, so that when we meet with politicians etc they understand that we represent a large body of people - and that seems to get results.
My apologies if anyone is already doing this job - if you are, then I would like to support you. However, in the absense of anyone doing it, is this not something that we can find through these pages - after all, there are plenty on here with strong enough opinions!
I must emphasise that what I am looking for is game-wide support - and nothing to benefit the individual clubs - at least not at the expense of any other fellow club.
Just a thought!

Fair enough - but why do we hear so little of them and what they are doing? I followed the link on here to their site and the pages were dated 2005???
There is so much going on in our game - and perhaps with the rise of club RU, we face some of the biggest challenges - just to hold onto what little we have, let alone make gains.
The RFL can do so much, but they will be seen as a company, whereby a group of supporters can sometimes be more influential - as we have little to lose!

| I've written to the director of bbc sports and head of programming asking various 'coverage' questions and the move to salford hopefully increasing our presence on the organisation. As yet no reply.

I guess so - it just seems that as individuals it is difficult to get heard. But with 50k plus people turning up each week, and many more interested, we should have more of a voice.
Starting to think it's just me though!

Well get something started then to draw people in otherwise your just as bad as the people who lay down their opinions on here but don’t do anything about it.
I recommend a weebly website to start things off. Then once things get on the move make it into in to an official .com website. RLFans may even let you be a part of their network if what you put forward is good. Even Bradford Bulls fans have a place on this network…
Your main agenda would be to give fans a bigger voice. Once you put it together let us know and I’ll write about it in my RLFANs southstander.com weekly column encouraging people to join. Here is a good example of my column here - leeds.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1290
I might even able to get my local MP to back it. He’s been willing to back stuff of mine before..
Now off to take some LSD.
Good luck!

| Was one of the original starters off the RLSA hence my online name ,,,,was one of the original 12 who met at a pub in Criddling Stubbs after a International match in Doncaster. We then went and set up the original get together of fans in Headingley where the RLSA was then formed with the first "conference" at the George in Huddersfield. Was a national committee member and did a lot towards the original ground survey which seems to have led to the RL doing the minimum requirements for Superleague grounds. Myself and a few like minded people set up the East Yorkshire branch which held meetings monthly in the Hull and surrounding areas(no other area did this). But like many other of this branch we resigned from the RLSA when they as a group without consulting the branch backed the Rugby League over merges in the original Super League talks.
