Talk up and promote the game. Be positive and enthusiastic, and get people to matches. And there we are, back to the beginning of the thread  |

Plus results are less proportionate to the relative skills of each team, underdogs have much more of a chance. In RL mostly the right team wins, often by a healthy margin. |

Yep, with a big effort and a bit of luck a Championship or even League One team can hold a Man Utd/Arsenal/Chelsea/Man City to a draw. |

In RL the winter weather used to be a good leveler. Maybe the 5m rule was also another parameter keeping things from getting out of hand? I remember games not being inevitable that a higher division side would automatically thrash a lower league team. But then, Saints did thrash Carlisle and Trafford Borough by 100+ points in the late 80s and early 90s. |

Yep I think you're right, but the the biggest thing that has widened the gap has been full time professionalism. There are only 14 full time pro RL clubs. In any sport there is a wide gap between the pro clubs and the semi-pro clubs, be it football, Union or RL. |

So WYSIWYG isnt WYSIWYG because WYSIWYG is Graham. So should it be WYSIMLG (What You See Is Most Likely Graham)? |

20 years of Premier league
Winners
Man Utd
Blackburn
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man City
5 teams in 20 years
Rugby League
16 years of Super (dooper*) league.
Saints
Bradford
Wigan
Leeds
4 teams in 16
I'm seeing the massive difference
*must add this when talking with fans of lower league teams who don't have an ounce of jealousy in them.

I'm sorry, are you wanting the details of an in-depth, fully costed, point by point, multi-year plan that involves all aspects of the sport? |

I would suggest its a better solution than constant, unnecessary, unmerited and unwarranted criticism such as blaming the RFL for how a private company words a positive article on the sport, or a thread proclaiming the sport has no credibility because of 2 50/50 ref's decisions in the cup final. |
