Shaggy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Can someone check the BBC Sport website on their tablet or phone? A Winter Olympics tab has appeared and nudged out the tab of another sport on my device. 1. Guess which sport. 2. Is it just me?

Sports Prophet Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Can't say. The RL tab was dropped off international bbc.com websites the day before Manchester hosted the 2013 WC Final. Someone else should be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My version of the app doesn't look like that, but on mine RL still sits among the 'big seven' sports alongside football, golf, RU, cricket, tennis, and F1. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Usera Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I complained to the BBC about this at the time. Two weeks later they sent this reply: Thanks for getting in touch about the Rugby League link in the top navigation of the BBC Sport website. The reason Rugby League has been moved to the second level of navigation outside the UK is as a result of analysing almost two years' worth of audience data. For example, our Rugby League page is not in the top 10 most visited BBC Sport pages outside the UK. And in a global survey in which our audience were asked which sports they most liked to read about on the BBC Sport website, Rugby League was 13th. Rugby League is also the sport most removed by users in our customised mobile app navigation. That same research tells us that Cycling is the sport our international audience are most interested in after Football, Cricket, Tennis, Formula 1, Rugby Union, Golf and Athletics. For that reason, Cycling has been added to the top navigation. BBC Sport is committed to coverage of Rugby League on all its platforms as the recent World Cup showed. BBC were the rights holders of the Rugby League World Cup in the UK. We continue to cover international rugby league, the Super League and the Challenge Cup online. In the UK, the BBC airs Super League highlights and live Challenge Cup games on TV and radio. Rugby League is still very easy to find on the BBC Sport website in the 'More Sport' fly-out menu and will be regularly promoted on the BBC Sport homepage.

gingerjon Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If you use the BBC Sport app you can configure it so you have rugby league as the top menu.
