Another TV show based on a game - Fallout. It's very good. The opening 3-4 minutes is something!
Yes I'm enjoying it and also binged on the 3 Body Problem and can't wait for the next one.
Give up on Stephen Knights This Town on BBC as find the acting and actors dull and with no charisma and the tiny inaccuracies with Skinhead girl nose piercing and the Zulu Casuals mixing in a pub with Skinheads and Rude Boys in 1981 might of happened but i'm sure the Tacchini look didn't happen till a year or 2 later despite John McEnroe winning Wimbledon in 1981.

This is exactly it. It is easy to play, anyone, any age, any size can play it. Both boys and girls can play it together. There are so many different versions of the game that can be played from a full on match with 11 on each side to a couple of mates taking shots at each other in the park with a couple of jumpers or trees or something for goalposts. You can't really do this with RL. Football is a much, much more accessible game.
Well we got Touch and Tag Rugby now and that includes both boys and girls, adults, age, social or serious, club,park and beach.

Although Leeds had Leeds united in the 50s and I would say 60s it was a Rugby League city. Leeds ,Hunslet and Bramley all flourished.
Leeds played a cup round against Wigan 38000 whist although not on same day 8k . Leeds United did average crowds comparable to the 3 clubs together ,but they were unfashionable and the talking point was mainly about RL that made Leeds a RL town . All changed now it's now a football city
Well its needs to be changed back.

There are no 'rugby league' towns in England, in my view. In every one listed in this thread, I would wager that more people follow football than rugby league.
And bloody is that to boot.

I tend to think Hull could and possibly should be as big as Leeds, Saints and Wigan - yet they get it wrong again and again.
What could change ?

Yet they still only get about 1,000 in.
1,500-2000 average crowd it seems.

We have a couple of times but not many, we always have a period in the summer when the Eco Power isn't available and sometimes have to move home fixtures, it would make perfect sense to play there but we can't. I have heard it suggested the relationship between the two clubs isn't what it was, off the back of failing to agree a deal which would have allowed The Knights to use EcoPower of they had won promotion to Union's top flight
It looks a tidy little ground and maybe hopefully in the future.
Has Doncaster got 2 sets of fans for both Rugby codes or is there a small cross over.

1385 of the 2520 at Doncaster were Wakefield fans
Have Doncaster RL ever played out of Castle Park the home of Doncaster Rugby Union and is there any crossover support between both clubs as looking at results they get a few games with 2,000 plus.

It only holds about 19k now I believe due to restrictions on the hill.
There was great concern that due to Saint`s form that this game may have hindered our ability to break the round record, but ticket sales were strong early and most crowd followers were very pleased with the turn-out.
I thought it was great crowd and whats not to like about the stadium by the sea....I wish we had the same problem on the sea front of South Shields.

Plenty of 8000 crowds at Wollongong last season. If you exclude the games played at country venues (Cairns, Bundaberg, Mudgee etc) four of the ten lowest NRL crowds last season were at Wollongong and two more were at Kogarah.
Just looked on Rugby League/AFL Table crowd stats and you are right with the Gong crowds but maybe the that was do to with St.Merge winning 5 out of 27 games ?...love to see the game in Woooongong prosper.

Gold Coast who averaged over 19K home attendance last season? If you're picking a laggard in terms of attendances, St. George is clearly the one to go for, particularly home games in Wollongong, although Kogarah isn't much better.
I'm talking about this year and do hope the Gold Coast will get some better support....St.George at Kogarah yes your right but so wrong about St.George at Wollongong as 16,000 plus at Win at the weekend just need mire games in the Gong.

Do you think on their supporter forums people constantly call the figures into question? As in 'been to Brisbane games a few times and that was never over 45k. Reckon it was more like 44,650'...
Who cares the NRL is doing very well apart from Gold Coast.

Tim Tszyu lost on points to Sebastian Fundora in the WBO super welterweight title match that Fox has been publicising for weeks during NRL coverage. Fellow Aussies Liam Wilson and Michael Zerafa also lost their world titles over the weekend.
BLOODY tough fight.

Great to see so was the Mayfield v Watershed game played on a different day to the Oldham v Rochdale game ?

2,041 today for Oldham vs Rochdale.
And yesterday at the same venue, roughly the same for Rochdale Mayfield vs Waterhead.
How did this game get such a good crowd.

Oh and before that travelling the world with adverts with Clive James and was it Chris Tarrant before or after that I liked.

Completely this ....
I'd even say football has taken a hit in this too...along with boxing, darts and snooker
Losing the commonality if everyone reading the same papers and watching the same channels has caused this
We can look back on those days nostalgically but the lack of choice was pretty rubbish too .....e.g. I used to really look forward to Spitting image Sunday nights but after that there was never anything else on so I had to watch the South Bank Show....can't see those two audience demographics overlapping much these.days with so much more choice
I loved Friday nights after school with things like Cheers but then got dread of Sunday after Spitting Image with music of the South Bank Show.

I remember this one!
From a Donny point of view too many to mention.
However I remember a game at Hull KR when we won 30 nil. Straight after the game the Dons fans were surrounded by stewards for our protection. We were spat at, verbally abused and pelted with stuff. A lot of our younger fans in tears. It's taken a lot of years to forgive them. So yeah. My worst game ever.
I like to think us Rugby League fans are a bit different to Soccer fans...how to thses get into the game and why ?

Yeah multi-cultural round and all, 8000 unsold tickets, how about giving some freebies to some different cultural associations around the area to give them a first taste of live Rugby League maybe.
Do you not think we have set exceptions to high for the crowds as Parra's first 3 games last year was under 18,000 ?

That is some pretty poor reading for Newcastle last year. For a one team RL coty like that, I feel like the club is failing with anything under 35k members.
Lets kick the NRL while its having a boom time...and I can tell you after the Super League ###### the NRL has been doing very well since 2002 to present and long may it continue unlike the newer yet dead Super Rugby.

Did Sky say they’d be showing every NRL game?
The lady over the phone did but then I bet she didn't have a clue about what I was taking about.

Ohh what a shame ...reminds me of the excellent The Living and The Dead which was out on BBC back in 2016 and the stupid BBC didn't give it a 2nd chance :9
