On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

You won't be an embarrassment to the game, but I doubt you’ll change anything. RL is becoming more and more marginalized in Britain. We used to have a very good national profile, before the Super League era. I think, with the advent of Professional RU, the media have decided there is only room for coverage of one pro-Rugby code. That was always going to be a code with a better national and international footprint.
I think, at some point, our top RL clubs may end up having to make a very unpleasant decision – whether to stay in RL at all at a pro level and jump in bed with RU instead. If RL's status and profile drops any more, I cannot see BSkyB broadcasting it for much longer.
That is why I hope you’re successful.

I promise to look after it and return it. My email address is in the first posting above. Although the comments in response to my request have been mildly ridiculed here I genuinely have had a lot of people email me direct with words of encouragement.'"
Being seen in possession of Hunslet and Widnes flags only increases your embarrassment.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

Super League represents one of Sky's biggest rating sports, picked up fairly cheap. Why on earth would they stop broadcasting it? Why on earth would RL clubs move to RU when their fans, who still represent the vast majority of their income streams, would be almost uniformally against it?
Crazy talk - and dangerous if it reflects the misbeliefs of more than a tiny sliver of RL fans, which I fear it does.

Good luck with this - an innovative approach, fingers crossed for you. This thread is currently right next to another on the forum entitled "Still no Sponsor for Super League".... the sport's flagship competition, and we can't get a sponsor.... surely in part due to the lack of mainstream media coverage. The media hype up any old crhap these days, and make it 'popular'..... but refuse to touch Rugby League - which was for years the nations second spectator (team) sport.
Look forward to hearing how you get on.

| Good luck to you Stuart. I can't think of a single picket that's changed anything of late, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Having said that, there are many ways to skin a cat, and this would seem to me one of the least likely to achieve what you're after here.
Still, any publicity you can get is all good for the Life Dept.

| I see the Daily Telegraph's sports section has a brand new sport added to the top section today.
But no, the protest achieves nothing does it?
Great achievement, well done! I don't expect the volume of reporting will go through the roof but I'd settle for the columns bashing us from union journalists to be removed as they are just uncalled for.

| Well done Stuart.
I just happened to catch your interview on BBC Radio Manchester the other day regarding your campaign.
Well done and thank your for your endeavours.
The media have long been dismissive of our great game. Mainly due to what used to be called 'class bias'.
Your campaign will show that we RL fans are not happy with the mass media, and how they ignore/treat our sport.
'Fight the good fight' my lad !

I'm assuming it's the fact that there is now a link for Rugby League at the top of the main sports page, along with the other major ones. Last time I looked at the Telegraph web pages it was a bugger to find the RL stuff as there was no direct link to it.
It could have been put there in the three weeks or so since I last looked but I think it was as a result of this protest.
