And if you looked at Saturdays Telegraph they had a decent bit on the game itself. However in an article on the list of big sporting events over the next ten years in this country there was no mention of the 2013 RL World Cup. Criclet and RU however weren't omitted.
As expected really

To be honest the international game has been a mess for years, and we can't expect that bad publicity to change overnight.
games like last week at Wembley (which had the most coverage for an England/GB game for years) and last nights great atmosphere at Hull are what will get the media/general public interested again...but it will take several years to make an impact.

| Quote Beverley red="Beverley red"What still suprises me is that folk on here are still suprised. We could smash Australia next week & there would still be no recognition at all. The plain facts are that League is seen as having no value to the real powers in sport & by the real powers I mean the advertising executives who are the reason the press & broadcasting companies exist. We just dont fit the profile that they want to sell thier goods to that is the reason we get no coverage. The day we can sell out Wembly with people who will pay £50 for the cheapest tickets a buy new BMW & have £50k to spend on luxury goods then we will have the press all over us. Soccer is an exception as the sheer numbers make it worth while. Just look at the coverage Union is getting today, yesterday I had the choice of three live games, the reason is that they are watched by the kind of people who the avertisers are aiming at. We have will just have to carry on, but at least we know what we have & at least we dont have to pay £50 a ticket(& pray we can get one)'"
nailed it right here!! |

2012 olympics in London, 2014 commonwealth's in Edinburgh, 2015 Rugby World cup and 2019 Cricket world cup. |

The only sports the 'mass media' are interested in in the UK, apart from boring footie, are the boring middle class sports of golf,tennis,cricket and rugby union. What the spectators do at these gatherings I have no idea. I do know that at cricket the spectators only go for a snooze, I have seen them there at Old Trafford and Lords.

Interesting theory, although I would say it has more to do with the number of copies of the Daily Telegraph they sell to whippet owning, pigoen fancying redundant miners along the M62 myself.....nothing like a bit of unsubstantiated stereotyping is there Mintball  |
