Premier Sports are certainly producing the goods now. The presentation team Dave Woods, Brian Noble with John Stankevich on the touch line did a great job. The game itself was entertaining.

it is, but you have to wonder how long they can last it's all very setanta like and still no advertisements.

And one thing more Setanta had was the Virgin Media audience.

I like the Premier Sports coverage, and I hope they focus their games on the third tier this year because the 4 promotion spots makes it more interesting.

I watched all todays game and look forward to the promotion battle with eager anticipation. It is a shame there is no promotion to SL with 4 spots up for grabs. The second tier would be absolutely great then. m not that interested in the second tier games this year due to the closed shop aspect. I hope Prem Sports can persuade the RFL to bring back onthepitch promotion to SL. I would pay a bit extra for this -conversley if the RFL continues with its current approach I dint think I'll renew next year as 8 quid is still a lot of money if there is no promotion. I certainly wont be renewing sky sports intil it is brought back

Why are they bothering, its a dying contest for a bunch of waster clubs. Surely you shouldn't be a paying to a company that is just stealing the relics available from a dying game.

Really enjoyed the Welsh derby. Premier's coverage is a bit rough round the edges, but a good game of RL is always worth watching. Looked like a pretty decent crowd as well - certainly for Championship 1.

The main reason I pay for it is because my club is in these leagues, but like many fans of nonSL pro clubs, I am deeply unhappy with the situation (another factor that should be considered with attendances). I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, because not renewing prem sports is a lose situation

Irony - it's like goldy and steely only made of iron.

I think steely might be made (mostly) of iron, too.

What makes you come on these boards you miserable g-t.I enjoy watching these games here in NZ.

[deluded pom?]

It looks like they don't do irony, steely or goldy in New Zealand!

They get their money from subscriptions, any revenue from advertisements is a bonus. They are well into their second year now so they will have got passed the initial startup costs. As long as they keep away from the Premier League they will do fine.

Very entertained by the Welsh Derby and glad I subscribed

[timhammonds]

The Welsh derby passed me by, was it advertised at the end of fridays match? I missed the end of that too as it over ran the schedule due to delays for treating onfield injuries. Twice already this season I have joined the game 5 minutes in as the schedule slot is not accurate.
