| As for interest in RLWC and the international game as a whole. I have said it before, RL fans generally are pretty apathetic towards the international game, supporting your local club is of interest. Thats why i dont think reducing the number of domestic games for benefit of international games is good for the fan.
RU has a totally 180 view of that, the international games in lots of fans eyes is more important than the club.
I get the point of tv money sponsors etc. And raising the profile of the game.
Amongst fans there is probably an increased interest in the international game during a World Cup not because of who is going to win it but more about watching players from teams in lower leagues getting to play for emerging nation teams, i would suggest who wins is irrelevent to most seeing entertaining rugby is what matters

Dont get me wrong, i would love to see RL teams established and succesful in Bristol, Birmingham, nottingham, London, Glasgow.
Reality is that aint happening any time in any future me or you will see. There is not the money and there are not the fans or the players

| Don’t think there is any fan base in Scarborough, their football team flourished for a while then vanished. Barcelona has greater attraction purely because it’s in Catalonia and might tap into regional pride etc . Unlikely to worry Barcelona FC, but expansion to Scarborough isn’t the answer to any question I am aware of having been asked.......

| There is probably more rugby league fans in scarborough than there are anywhere near bristol though. At least there is a reasonable community game around there as well. Sadly the SW still struggles to attract any real interest in the community game, and thus comes from someone who has played down there.
At least with barcelona its on the edges of the french league set up.

| I only mentioned Bristol as an example of a progressive city that likes sport, there are others of course.
Scarborough not likely to get anyone's pulse racing, least of all TV broadcasters but great if you want to be beside the seaside.
