Not been funny but how many welsh people are actually bothered about super league?

Well, let me think. This is, like, a whole country, tht until recently, the odd token gesture apart, hasn't had ANY rugby league in it to speak of. And you were expecting a whole nation to be aching for SL?

I applaud the likes of you and the other Celtic fans who turn up (and especially the handful that were shown on sky on Friday - they must have taken time off work to get there) and I hope you attract more fans.

No you don't, you're patronisingly taking the pis.s out of them, and telling them they're mad to waste their time, while you knowingly shake your head.

The south of France has always had an interst in league, but Wa;es in general is a RU hot bed,

Always? What, even before they had any teams? Wow! That's good, that is. Just one thing - how do you know this? Because it sounds like meaningless crapola to me.

I hope the tables turn but I just can't see it happening.

You actually have no clue what is being done in Wales, have you? Still, when a Wakey fan can't see that over time tables can indeed turn, no further commentary is required. Or was Wakey being reduced from one of the leading RL clubs, happily located in the middle of a "rugby league hotbed' to a skint, rubbish basket case not a case of "tables turning"?

Isn't their recovery in very recent years to at least something like, another example of "tables turning"?

Or are you so young or naive that you think 5 years is a long time?

You'd think BBC Wales would show it now we're actually in SL though.

Especially as there is incredible amounts of interest in RL throughout the whole of Wales now Celtic are in SL.

Snide dig from a supporter of a club so submerged by interest that for their last Super League home game that they attracted a crowd of 2,088.

What criteria do the BBC use to decide who does and doesn't get the SLS automatically?
