| Did anyone watch tipping point Monday?A question was asked "what sport do the London broncos play" after some thought the guy got it right.
As good as that was how many other pro sports teams from the London area would have taken a while to answer.
After all these years its depressing to think how small an impact we and RL have made.
The guy was a southerner BTW.

| Its nothing to do with the south, its a general thing with "our" sport, it is a minority sport remember. I have friends in Yorks and lancs who could not tell you what sport Salford red devils, or wakefield wildcats play!
I even got asked only last night from a northerner when the Rugby league season starts!!!!!!

My point was after all this time in super league we have gone nowhere,it underlined what a missed opportunity its been.I would expect a big % of people would know at least which sport the likes of Saracens,quins,,pro soccer clubs etc play.Of course its not a scientific experiment carried out under laboratory conditions but it just highlights what a pigs ear its been.

It proves nothing, my Mum wouldn't know what sport 'London' Wasps or 'London' Irish play and I bet there are 1000s of men and women in the south that don't. Club Rugby of either code is not mainstream in this country, that's not London Broncos fault.

1,000,000 1/2/3 generation Irish in London know exactly what game the exiles play...your mum aside, Saracens do hold a works record and I'd suspect there are a scary amount if England ru shirts in wardrobes across the country when compared to anything other than soccer. Your right........union is a tiny sport but it absolutely dwarfs league.....absolutely.

I take it that's a typo but Saracens definitely know how to work crowd figures.
I know someone who is a Saracens fan & he freely admits declared crowd figures for their Wembley games are complete BS.

Can I assume from your response that it was a multiple choice question and he got lucky ?
Unfortuntely I have never had the pleasure of watching Tipping Point so have no idea.
But here is a cheeky little multiple choice question for you:
Where will London Broncos will be playing in 2015
1) Wembley Stadium
2) They will be homeless !!!!!!!
3) The Hive
What do you reckon ?

I'd say fortunately myself.
Whoever decided a seaside arcade game would make a good basis for a quiz show is the Gus Mackay of TV programming.

Either at the hive as tenants paying rent or elsewhere.
They have a plan ..........but nothing has been agreed yet.

Interesting rant but it has no relevance to my point about CLUB rugby. CLUB rugby union and CLUB rugby league are not a big deal in this country and I hardly know anyone who has an active interest in specific CLUBS in either code in the south of England. It's got nothing to do with our pathetic excuse of a sports club.
