Hela Wigmen Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I thought 2005 was better than 2003 and I’d rather see that one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meast Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This can't be right surely? The BBC hates RL and has some agenda against it doesn't it? Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Mark Champman is a great presenter (by BBC standards), does anyone know if he’s actually a RL fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always assumed he was because of his presenting style. According to his Wiki page he's an Hull FC fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Chapman_(broadcaster) 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's primarily a Football fan, but also got into RL while studying at the University of Hull. He certainly enjoys the game.

bazzzz65 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I went to all those finals The Wigan v Hull was the best in my opinion. Also in reply to another thread. Whatever happened to Mornflake Oats and John Bull beer kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The difference in atmosphere between the last two games is amazing, is that the difference between all seater stadium and standing? I've no idea! Maybe the BBC don't film the crowd as much now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound can make a huge difference to the perceived atmosphere. A great set of finals, topped off with a tribute to Frank Myler.
