That's why it was a bit disappointing for Robbie to say what he did but at least Mike Bushell corrected him.
For 'southern' enthusiasm you need to look no further than Clare Balding this afternoon

| Fair play to Robbie Paul, whose been on the media circuit for so little time. Hopefully he’ll learn from this mistake and stop been so ignorant about rugby league outside, lets face it - super league.
Spot on about Clare Balding.

Would be interesting to see some facts backing that up, not sure if it's ever been studied?

I can remember reading somewhere that Super league on skysports is the 3rd most watched sport (behind soccer and wwe) and has higher viewing figures down south then it does on the m62 corridor.

So the 2nd most watched sport then ............
I've also read that RL is one of the most watched sports on Sky, and I guess the fact that the largest viewing numbers are down south is due to the distribution of subscribers.

90,000 capacity
25,000 from L**ds
25,000 from Warrington
15-20,000 other Rugby fans from the heartlands
15, maybe 20,000 from "elsewhere"

I've seen that 3/5 to 2/5 South-North divide on the Sky viewing figures.
Good to see the BBC sports fella correcting what was a jokey throwaway comment from Robbie Paul at 7.30 in the morning.

| The Rugby League Challenge Cup at Wembley will almost certainly attract the weekends biggest attendance of any sporting event in the northern hemisphere and possibly the world (omitting F1).
It will be interesting to see if the media coverage measures up but I won't hold my breath.

It doesn't matter as when Boxing Day rolls around, the myth will be perpetuated that 'Sarries' and whoever have had the 'biggest club rugby crowd' at the new Wembley. Can guarantee that!
Wish I were there...will get the goosebumps as soon as Abide With Me comes one!

As expected, media coverage falls well short. Test cricket, plus alleged betting scandal over no balls, plus a full sleight of football matches... the mentions are there, but just not the prime slot that is deserves.

I've been on holiday to Cornwall over the last few years, a place with little RL heritage and no active RL teams to speak of. In fact, you couldn't get more of an RU area .... And loads of locals admit to watching the game on Sky.

Most of the professional clubs are from the North! But I'm seeing more and more southerns going every year, with as much pride and passion as anyone has.
