Well they promote the sport slot through social media, they support different concepts and levels and have s great app showing free games
But I think here is one of the problems, people feel,it's the rfls sole job to raise attendances, what are the clubs doing to promote their club? A club does well they get pat on the back, a club does poorly the rfl get blamed
Point is, clubs should take some responsibility also, the brand is the club, the players are the assets, we should make more of this as a whole, not simply blame one part of the jigsaw
What wire have been doing is excellent but has brought criticism from some, why is promoting our sport and games a negative?
And people,have said that for years! Did you go blackbrook on Sunday? Brilliant finals day
Championship attendances up 30%, extended sponsor for SL with increased income, woman's game growing with SL, GB Lions brand is back
You lot can sink into dispair and woe, I'll continue enjoying this great game and point out all the pluses our fantastic sport has, and it has lots to be happy about
Again, just enjoy the game
I had to do a job for my nan at her house otherwise I would have. Would have taken my girlfriend as well.
I just think if you ask fans what they think against mine & your thoughts, most would be in line with me. There's already a thread on the Hull board about the state of the game. And believe me, the vast majority of that lot bleed rugby league. They know their stuff
I do t think it's anywhere near as bad as people claim, it's a case of empowers clothes, if enough people say it's rubbish, refs haven't a clue, rfl are useless and the games dead it will have an affect on the mentality of most and more likely to become true
I would ask everyone to take a step back, ignore all the negative comments to about fines, a ban, not enough posters promoting game etc and just think about what the sport brings to them , why they watched it or played it, what it means to those proud players pulling on the jersey and just watched it with a positive mindset not looking for reasons to be disgusted and I'm sure you will enjoy it more
It's a great game, always has been, still is, yes it's different but nothing stays the same forever, it's still great tough sportspeople enjoying chasing an odd shaped ball around, just enjoy it
I have many many days like that, all brilliant, that's why we love the sport
If you stood by s group who praised the sport, applauded the great skills, cheers their teams you would enjoy an identical game far more than if you surrounded yourself with negative people who complain, shout at the ref, say the games finished every few minutes I am convinced
Separate yourself from negative people, try to influence other fans positively, imo you will enjoy it slot more
Fully agree it's brilliant, yet some still find reason to be negative, if we balanced our frustrations with all the things we love about the game we would remember we really enjoy it
I tell anyone who will listen how great the game is, in fact I also tell those who wont listen
I see. My other half is quite exotic. She's from Leigh
Firmly behind you on this one. The RFL ARE driving fans away from the game, irrespective of what one other poster thinks.
I really think it's time for SL to consider breaking away from RFL like Premiership football did.
I really think that unless something radical happens, the game is sadly in terminal decline and for someone who's been a RL fan for well over 50 years, that's hard to say......
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
