you believe that?

Don't viewing figures show it's second only to football? One-offs might skew the figures, but I'm sure I've seen weekly figures that show RL right up there

I'd be surprised, would have thought cricket and cycling would both be bigger?

Cricket maybe but not sure about cycling.



Tried to find the weekly viewing figures for Sky sports events, but no luck so far. Someone put figures up previously I think. Certainly RL gets more than RU

Test cricket probably does, but I think the figures are only about the domestic game, and no one watches County Cricket really, even cricket fans don't bother!



And cycling might be a big participation sport but do people really watch it?

I know a lot of people that watch cycling when it's on. F1 will probably be bigger as well??

I'll take your word on the cycling thing, but I'd still be surprised if its viewing figures are higher than Rugby League's



F1 will probably overtake RL when it comes on, but that's hardly something to be ashamed of, the amount of money Sky have put into its F1 coverage, it's even going to have it's own channel!

Taken off the VT.
