Perhaps we, the menbers of RLFANS should band together in a effort to see the profile of our sport raised in the media?
We could engage in a campaign of mass emails and letters to the various publications and local/national news programmes.
According to the tool bar at the top, there are 2016 registered users of this site currently online. If we all write a letter a week to a publication/production company, they'll take notice. Even if its just to grananda tonight to give us more RL stories on a daily basis - team news, transfer rumours etc.
So why don't we do that ? Or we could just moan amongst ourselves that no one takes any notice of us.
Football's success over the last 20 years means that you can't goanywhere without names of players and teams being mentioned, its stable polite converstion between men and that breeds interest.
The more we could get RL talked about, the more others willtake an interest.
Let's startwith the North West
Quote You can contact the Granada news team in the following ways:
Telephone: 0161 952 6073
Email: granada.reports@itv.com
Text: 63332, start your message with the word "Granada"
Facebook: facebook.com/granadareports
Twitter: @GranadaReports'"
I'm going to email, text and facebook GT to ask them to make sure they show some extended highlights of last night's great game. I'll not twitter as it still baffles me slightly and if I ring, people might figure out I'mnotdoing any work.
For goodness sake, Salford is like a circus at the moment. Granada Tonight could have a daily piece on the Dr's senaneghans. It would surely help boost interest in Salford amongst the manchester crowd, if they knew that an exciting new team was being built. |

OK, Facebook is denying me, but I've sent an email and a text asking for some highlights and match reaction from last night's game.
Who else has done the same !?

Maybe if we as fans supported our game a bit more, other people and groups would aswell?
You want to make the BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and every major newspaper and media outlet sit up and take notice of us? Buy as many tickets as you can to the world cup, take as many friends as you can to the world cup, get them to buy as many tickets as they can. If we have a world cup played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us. If we follow that up with a season of SL games played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us.

There were plenty of 'high profile' tweets about last night's game.

On the sports report on BBC Breakfast just after 6.30am, the game was mentioned before GB&I Lions game against the Melbourne Storm! even though it was the Rebels they were playing.

| Quote ="wrencat1873"Is this the same BBC that were moving to Salford, making it more important than ever to have a SL team in Manchester ?
We have to face facts, the BBC doesn't give one, about RL and their reporting, as always doesn't cater for "regional" sports.'"
Why do we need a team in Manchester when the BBC are in Salford?
Anyhoo, it got a mention on the 7:30 sports bulletin on the Today programme (that's Radio 4 for you young whippersnappers). |

There's usually a substantial bias in BBC sports reporting towards things that they have exclusive live rights to (such as Wimbledon, or Diamond League athletics, or Six Nations rugby union). Same reason Sky Sports News is full of Premier League football and England cricket.
What passes for sports "news" these days on the BBC is often little more than a trailer for what live sport they have coming up either on TV or on 5 Live.

If you that the Rugby League coverage is bad on the BBC now, wait and see what happens when London is cut from Super League.

Expected nothing less from the BBC and their "reporters".
Amateur organisation with a penchant for concealing pedophiles from the public for years.

Noticed aswell that the comments section hasn't been opened for the report into the game last night, yet it was when we slapped 80 on London a few weeks ago.
Seems like the Beeb are only interested in the "negative" aspects of Rugby League.
Pedophile harbouring tosspots.

Considering that the BBC is now based in Salford the majority of the sports reporting is still Southern based, unless it concewrns Man U or Man C.

Complaint emailed. First time I've ever complained to them (BBC that is).
Wall to wall coverage of tennis, every match from the "Confederation divers competion Cup" and no Super League Fulltime tipped the balance for me.
Oh and no Pointless either, it's a disgrace.

Lets hope they promote the world cup as much as promote Wimbledon Tennis. |

Gary Richardson's "Sportsweek' radio show every Sunday morning on 5live.....It is supposed to discuss ALL the big sporting news of the week...we'd better get some decent coverage on that for the World Cup.
Not holding my breath though....as we don't employ Sir Clive Woodward.

| Quote ="bramleyrhino"The BBC isn't our PR agency.
Let's be honest here, the only tennis major held in this country is much more newsworthy than a Super League game (one which large sections of the supporter base consider to be "meaningless"icon_wink.gif played in front of 14,000 people in a small northern town.
When RL does something newsworthy, it'll attract news coverage.'"
It is a license fee funded broadcaster and as such is supposed to cater to a true cross section of society. The ridiculously expensive vanity project that is MediaCity was supposed to remedy the corporation's north/south divide, but in reality it has done very little.
Quick word on the printed press, the big games often struggle to get coverage in the nationals due to 8pm kick offs running too close to the submission deadline. |

You can bet your bottom dollar no-one at the RFL has said anything to the BBC in the last 20 years regarding lack of coverage/reporting & promotion of specific events etc

Because they still have their heads stuck in the 1950's .......
If you look at the changes to SL ownership in the last few years, the RFL had better up their game or lose control of it.
The financial clout available to Wigan & Leeds is being matched after takeovers by very successful businessmen at Warrington, Huddersfield, Widnes, and now Bradford & Salford. How long do you think they will be held back in promoting their clubs (and curtailing the potential incomes) by the "we can't leave the traditional clubs behind" attitude held by the RFL? And that includes shying away from shouting loudly at the BBC over lack of coverage. |
