If you that the Rugby League coverage is bad on the BBC now, wait and see what happens when London is cut from Super League.

Is Wimbledon on? Wouldn't know it was on without the Beeb.

Expected nothing less from the BBC and their "reporters".

Amateur organisation with a penchant for concealing pedophiles from the public for years.

Quote: SmokeyTA "Maybe if we as fans supported our game a bit more, other people and groups would aswell?

You want to make the BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and every major newspaper and media outlet sit up and take notice of us? Buy as many tickets as you can to the world cup, take as many friends as you can to the world cup, get them to buy as many tickets as they can. If we have a world cup played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us. If we follow that up with a season of SL games played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us.'"

Noticed aswell that the comments section hasn't been opened for the report into the game last night, yet it was when we slapped 80 on London a few weeks ago.

Seems like the Beeb are only interested in the "negative" aspects of Rugby League.

Pedophile harbouring tosspots.

Considering that the BBC is now based in Salford the majority of the sports reporting is still Southern based, unless it concewrns Man U or Man C.

Complaint emailed. First time I've ever complained to them (BBC that is).

Wall to wall coverage of tennis, every match from the "Confederation divers competion Cup" and no Super League Fulltime tipped the balance for me.

Oh and no Pointless either, it's a disgrace.

Lets hope they promote the world cup as much as promote Wimbledon Tennis.

Gary Richardson's "Sportsweek' radio show every Sunday morning on 5live.....It is supposed to discuss ALL the big sporting news of the week...we'd better get some decent coverage on that for the World Cup.

Not holding my breath though....as we don't employ Sir Clive Woodward.

Quote: bramleyrhino "The BBC isn't our PR agency.

Let's be honest here, the only tennis major held in this country is much more newsworthy than a Super League game (one which large sections of the supporter base consider to be "meaningless"icon_wink.gif played in front of 14,000 people in a small northern town.

When RL does something newsworthy, it'll attract news coverage.'"

It is a license fee funded broadcaster and as such is supposed to cater to a true cross section of society. The ridiculously expensive vanity project that is MediaCity was supposed to remedy the corporation's north/south divide, but in reality it has done very little.

Quick word on the printed press, the big games often struggle to get coverage in the nationals due to 8pm kick offs running too close to the submission deadline.

You can bet your bottom dollar no-one at the RFL has said anything to the BBC in the last 20 years regarding lack of coverage/reporting & promotion of specific events etc

Because they still have their heads stuck in the 1950's .......

If you look at the changes to SL ownership in the last few years, the RFL had better up their game or lose control of it.

The financial clout available to Wigan & Leeds is being matched after takeovers by very successful businessmen at Warrington, Huddersfield, Widnes, and now Bradford & Salford. How long do you think they will be held back in promoting their clubs (and curtailing the potential incomes) by the "we can't leave the traditional clubs behind" attitude held by the RFL? And that includes shying away from shouting loudly at the BBC over lack of coverage.

But for a betting or drug scandal ? They'd have cleared the back page.

And they say there's no agenda.
