Radio Five and Warrington Wolves

[JohnM]

On now, live. From Halliwell Jones. Rachel Burden long interview with injured young dcrum half.

Part of an event BBC are hosting there to talk to youngsters about phone and social media. 

Wonder why they chose that location - if it was Warrington Wolves selling the location to the BBC, well done.

Isn't Burden a through and through rah rah?

That's as maybe but she did the whole thing justice.

Burden , Nicky Campbell and Justin Webb ( Radio 4 )

All massive rah rah cheerleaders.

Must have broke her heart going into a RL stadium .

Burden probably scourged herself later to make herself feel better .

I have to admit, I was surprised to hear her as yes, she's a union fan But she did a goid job and didn't mention rugby union. For me, it was something good to hear rather than to moan about. She should be congratulated.  You should be able to hear the piece on BBC Sounds, if you are interested.

But that wasn't my point.  I wondered about the process that led to getting the BBC to host a programme at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and thought it a good idea that others might follow.

Based on what I've experienced from Rachel Burden, she is an RU fan, but not necessarily anti-RL. She's just a product of her upbringing with all the assumptions and ignorance that entails.
