I'm sure the Beeb moving to the North West will benefit RL.

Indeed it will. Pity the RFL couldn't get a base in Manchester either.

RFL too close and cosy with Red Light area in Reds, they don't know where it is in Manchester

White City BBC London is 6 miles from the stoop and has had No effect on the Union bias of the sports staff there. Hope You have more luck.

what a load of s**t.

BBC sport moving to salford.

Salford RL club playing in a brand new stadium before big crowds.

Result - increased RL coverage for the sport.

if salford get their ground it will be massive not just for them but for RL.

Jeremy was met at the airport by Head Coach Shaun McRae and a camera crew from the BBC who will be following Salford’s progress throughout the season on North West Tonight. You can see Jeremy’s arrival from the balmy 30 degree Sydney climate to -3 in Salford on Friday night’s show.

I think that quite simply the fact that BBC journos will be taken away from their Public School and London bubble they will get a better pciture of what people are interested in ourtside of their previous shell. In the North West, RL is a comfortable second behind football in terms of people watching and cultural/community significance so it can only help the sport.

the way they push union is a joke.

if RL got a fair treatment by guys like these it would be a massive boost for the game.

thats why salford could be a big thing for RL, but the new ground is crucial.

The move to Salford has already had one impact Roger Mosey BBC's head of sport will not be taking up his position in the north and is moving to pastures new. http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/84605 ... ndon-2012/ A new head of sport is required.

Why are the BBc creating a whole new department just to cover one sporting event? how much will this cost us?
Are not the Olympics Sport so therefore lie with the remit of the head of sport.
There will be nothing to do until 2011 DEcember at the earliest because most of the stadia will not be ready until after then, so camera and Tv boxes positions can only be planned after they open.
It looks to me like a lot of the sports staff don't want to move north and this will be the reason, the BBC will in effect have two sports departments and hence double the cost because southern jessies are too scared to come North.
