Aye, I realise I could never aspire to the greatness of some of the reactionary rants that grace the Wakey forum. I could only ever seek to provide a pale imitation. Your argument is irrefutable.

| Nothing! I merely humbly acknowledge that, as you rightly observe, I am a rank amateur when it comes to anti-RFL rantmanship (contrived or for real) compared with some of the real pros over your way! As we saw the other week!  |

Not always - only in the context of describing something that is, or pertains to, iron.
In this case, the irony wasn't entirely lost on me, but turning it into a lengthy pro-RFL rant, or an anti-anti-RFL rant, diluted the message.
Anyhow - those viewing figures are pretty impressive; well done to all the teams involved for providing an entertaining showcase for the new SL season.

When issuing [i'record breaking'[/i statements claiming that SL is more popular than ever, it often helps to back up such statements with a statistical analysis which compares like for like. Claiming that Round 1 average attendances in 2012 is a 12% increase on last season’s average attendance across Super League is not comparing like for like.
FACT: The Round 1 average attendance in 2012 was surpassed in 7 out of the last 8 seasons where like for like comparisons can be made!
On the subject of Sky viewing figures, I'd be very interested in a comparative breakdown year by year as a whole, comparative Round 1 televised fixtures by Round 1 televised fixtures, etc, because once again, a statement claiming the Widnes V Wakefield fixture had viewing figures which were 75% up on the average weekly TV audience last season is not comparing like for like and is a spurious statement to make at best.

The sky is certainly dark over these parts, do you think we may also be touched by the RFL's golden wand, so that we may also see the way forward

...as was intended, to parody the way the real-life rantathons likewise do. If I'd have had time, I'd have rambled it on a lot longer still, so that even the most hardened readers would have given up even earlier. Like they do with some of the wilder real-life rantathons. |

| Quote: Keith Swiftcorn "FACT
I'm assuming your "like for like" comparisons mean that all these 8 years of first round fixtures had the same horrendous weather conditions with decisions on whether the matches would even take place being made on the day in many instances?
Otherwise, they aren't really "like for like" at all, are they?

FACT
Have we had 14 teams in Superleague for the last 8 seasons? if not, how are they like for like comparisons?
