Rugby League World on Coronation Street

[John Drake]

Can die happy now.

Gail's getting a Rugby League World subscription for Christmas. 

This was unexpected! A mention for @rlworld on the UK's biggest (and we would definitely now say best) soap Coronation Street tonight. We look forward to supplying Gail with that subscription when we're back next season! Thanks @itvcorrie pic.twitter.com/O501914Guw

I’d rather remove my own eyeballs with a spoon than watch Coronation Street, but that is superb.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. The wife was watching obviously

Oh no, not another Derby!

Good bit of publicity. But I'd rather go parachuting without a parachute than watch soaps. 

[Man of Kent]

Is it being published again, then?

Parachuting without a parachute, isn't parachuting.

However, if you want to parachute again, you do need a parachute

Corrie is still going? Wow. my gran loved this show, it was really popular in NZ when I was growing up, still remember Ena Sharpels and the like, same with the Scouse comedy Bread.

Nice of them to mention Rugby League World on Coronation Street, similar to post above my grandma watched Coronation street religiously... personally you would have to pay me some decent money bit to ever watch it

Removed after consultation

[Ramon Rojo]

Removed it Irish

Was unaware of the background 

No ulterior motive was intended 

[Barry Badrinath]

little disappointed that it wasn't a scene where someone was in the Kabin putting a copy of RL World on top of the Rah rah magazines.

 

not that i've ever done that in WH Smiths

No I thought it was clever (even if in bad taste) lol. I'm not offended and I didn't want to upset you either. I'll remove my reference to it also.

ITV showed Shortland Street for a while over here. I feel the same way about it that you do about Coronation Street. The reason I watched a few episodes was that one of the actors (think it was the bloke who starred in "Once Were Warriors") was wearing a Queensland Origin jersey.

RL sometimes features on Police Ten 7. A bit too often. Not all publicity is good publicity. I`d rather have a good laugh at the Wellington 7s high jinks.

There was a page in "Open Rugby" dedicated to listing in some detail any RL references in popular culture spotted in the preceding month. One early 90s entry was for an evanescent glimpse of a Swinton fixture list card on the wall of the Rovers Return.
