Rugby League is a vibrant and engrossing sport that is simple to understand when both spectating or participating. The Challenge Cup is one of those iconic competitions that describes what the BBC represents world wide. If they lose this type of television entertainment, they run the risk of losing their brand identity and soul.

We rely on the BBC to advertise the great game of Rugby League free to assist in our recruitment of youngsters to our Club.

Our Club sits in a very deprived area and is certainly not one where paid for TV channels are likley to be the norm.

One cannot help feeling that there is a general media bias against this sport due to narrow socio-economic pool the typical media type is drawn from. Furthermore, I often detect a fear that giving Rugby Leage fair coverage would in some way disadvantage their prefered sport of Rugby Union, a view that is both rediculous and unacceptable.

This competition well deserves top status amongst other sports in this country.
