My point with golf is I have met a whole stack of people over the years and we often discuss how people have lost interest in RL.
- That must come down to who we associate with because i find RL conversations easy to find amongst people. Sometimes surprisingly more than i expected.
Maybe I associate with a lot of older people who have lost interest because of perceived changed to the rules of the game e.g. RL cleaning up of the game with the Gagai/Brooks incident highlighting what many people would see as an unnecessary intervention by a judiciary'
Drove a country school bus for a year and the kids only interest was 'oh, my dad used follow them'. Surprisingly, the kids, girls and boys loved soccer or netball.
Put that down to the NRL and their lack of interest/investment into expansion.
From what we saw just recently, with the Vlander ascension, NRL has invested in an whole lot of things.
Where in England are you referring? Because I've spent time in Yorkshire and RL is bigger than soccer in many parts that I've been to. I went there to support Leeds United and came away supporting Leeds Rhinos.
Cheshire, just a stones throw from Yorkshire. I really find it hard to believe that Rugby of any description is more popular than football anywhere in England, actually I first met up with an hotel full of pomms in Turkey. They were from all over England, I can only recall total interest when mentioning RL.
So there is interest in the game?Otherwise, sponsors wouldn't invest their money into it.
Yep, ten million for RL one billion for AFL wasn't it.
Sorry for taking so long to reply.
