Quote: Redscat "I would agree Pop, but the point I was making was that RL IS a minority sport but probably attracts more spectators on a week by week basis than tennis yet, on this particular quiz show the amount of questions about tennis is out of all proprtion. It's probably a class thing.

You are absolutely right but, in fairness, with Andy Murray as world #1, "everyone" now has an interest in the sport.
Plus, the BBC show Wimbledon every day for 2 weeks of the year and this gives massive exposure to the sport, plus
almost 500,000 (actual 494,000) people attended the Wimbledon fortnight and 13.3 million people watched the final alone.
These are gob smacking figures and the reason that tennis receives more media attention than RL
