........and there you have it. Simple when you think about it really.....the fact that 1 guy has complained is admirable, but that only. It will make no difference to the content of the nearly 600,000 copies they sell every day at ₤1.20.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



I would suggest if RL fans are unhappy with the coverage given to RL in the DT , the simplest way of showing that unhappiness would be not to buy it , that's how it works

What would be the opinion of the posters on this thread , if I was to do a one person ' picket ' outside Red Hall to show my displeasure at the way the Championships are treated by the RFL ?

Would I see messages of support on these boards ? , or would I be considered a ' nutter ' ?

You'd get a mixed response as usual although I can at least agree that there is something worth complaining about and I'm sure others feel the same.

Quote: gutterfax "ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT?
Seriously....alternative to what? 1 Bloke having a whine?

I have pointed out the link between paid advertising and editorial coverage and just because you choose to ignore it doesn't mean I didn't post it. If you have an axe to grind with me and my standpoint, then fine, but to continue with the "patronising" rubbish is simply inane.

There is no conspiracy against Rugby League by the Media and anyone who says there is needs their bumps looking at. This is the 21st Century.......there is a global financial meltdown taking place and Media bosses will dig up their dead grandmothers and sell them for revenue. If RL represented an opportunity to "turn coin" then Adrian Morley would be on every front page in the country......but it isn't and a bloke from up north standing outside the offices of the DT will not make 1 jot of difference.

RL and in most cases, RL Fans, need to ask themselves what it is they want for TGG. Firstly, I would suggest that all clubs, especially the one I follow, concentrate on filling their own stadiums. That costs money........no 2 ways about it. IL has worked wonders at Wigan, the guys at Hull FC have cracked it too and Bradford are on the right track.....

The opening round of SL in 2012 has a potential capacity crowd of 130,000 (and change).....fill the grounds and repeat that and the Media will have to sit up and pay attention.

BTW, the bits in RED BOLD are an alternative to one guy who has already dropped off everyones radar except on here...HTH
What alternatives are there for the fans to do? Write a letter to the RFL demanding they be more effective at publicising our game? Wear their replicas to work? I think that the fact that one man was passionate enough to actually go and do what he did may have at least reminded the editor of our plight. ATEOTD - we all know that RL gets approx 0% coverage in the capital and unless people actually do anything about it, the game will not be in the southern based medias conciousness if you like.

Did you read the bit in red in my previous post? FANS CAN ATTEND GAMES......Fill stadiums and the papers will pay attention.
As for him reminding the editor of "our plight"...WTF d040.gif Rugby League is not a friggin' charity and shouldn't have to go cap in hand to anyone.
Southern media bias blah blah blah....show them some coin, or at least an audience and they will write about it.....but 3,000 at the Stoop, 4,000 at Salford or 10,000 for an international in Leigh isn't going to float their boat.

42,000 for the RL International RL Double Header featuring the worlds best 3 teams....Saracens got that for a Heineken Cup match recently......was it because the Daily Telegraph wrote about it....or could it have been the advertising the club placed in and around the area, as well as in the London Press? Saracens average about 6k at normal games, but they spend monsy, advertise and low and behold.....they get 7 times their normal crowd.....
I am sure if they got a disgruntled fan to stand outside the offices of the DT they would have filled the place icon_lol.gif

You are being rather melodramatic you make it sound like a large scale refugee camp stuck in the middle of a war zone with no food or water. Exactly what dreadful danger or risk are we talking about here?

Quote: TrinityIHC " ATEOTD - we all know that RL gets approx 0% coverage in the capital and unless pe[ople actually do anything about it, the game will not be in the southern based medias conciousness if you like.'"

The paper in question before "the picket" had 28 articles (excluding blogs) during the 4 nations tournament purely about that tournament, this clearly is not 0% coverage and seems fairly good representation for a tournament that generates the level of interest that it does. London version of the Metro covers most of Quins/Broncos games and is on a par with most other sports except football, even the likes of the Mail and the Evenening Standard regularly have articles on RL. Radio London broadcasts most Quins/Broncos game live and a regular RL discussion program. Talk Sport regularly covers and mentions RL. BBC when based in London renewed rights to the Challenge Cup. Sky has been very generous to RL over the years.

Show me some major media outlets based in London covering sport that provides 0% coverage. You are clearly speaking from a position of ignorance, please check the facts.
