Inverdale comments cause a storm
The recent sporting questions event held at Spotland seems to have caused a storm over the comments made by John Inverdale.Mr Inverdale had happily taken a comment from the floor about Rugby League's inability to 'expand' - A member of the audience came back with the fact that NL2 has Gateshead and London Skolars in it; that NL 3 has teams like Birmingham and St Albans in it; that the Summer Conference has teams from Tyneside to South Wales and that new teams such as Bedford are coming through all the time.
John Inverdale's response was that '... with respect, Bedford's just thirteen blokes running round a field, it's not proper Rugby League'
