What is the situation with Aston's appeal? Has it happened? If not when it is scheduled? If it has taken place, what was the outcome?

A giraffe at full back to catch the high ball.

Watched a game in a pub Friday. Number of times they cut away from live action convinced me I am correct in no longer paying for Sky. It feels to me, that whoever is in charge of the broadcasting, has a large budget, plenty of cameras, and new technology, which they feel they must use, and don't care if it spoils it for the viewers.

I got so fed up of watching RL on sky as it seemed so " fragmented", approx 40 seconds of live RL, followed by either a reply, or a crowd shot (or something similar).

Hi, yes I made a complaint some time ago. Have not kept the reply, but from memory, they pointed out the most of the cameras are following live action. Not very helpful, as I do not get to choose whether they broadcast live action, or something else. I found it so annoying that I no longer subscribe to sky sports.

Didn't something like this happen a few years ago? Seem to remember an incident on BBC, where a fan got hold of a referee ( Stuart Cummins? maybe). May have been a cup match when Sheffield were in the top flight. Ended when a player got hold of the fan, and handed him over to the Police.

Would have thought Catalans would want all the money they can get, to cover all the traveling costs, for away teams next year.

IMO happen too often, and reduce my enjoyment of the game.

Yes to all three points.

Yes, most sports like this. Doesn't mean I like it. Decided to ditch a bit ago. Frustration was getting the better of me, season was just ending and Sky wanted to increase my subscription by around 70%. Also my home town club Sheffield playing in home city so will spend time money going to a live game.

Well sorry took so long for me to reply. See the thread I just started, Why I ditched Sky.

On another thread I was asked why I am no longer prepared to pay for Sky. Rather than taking that thread off topic, I have started another. When I watch a game, I want to see the match continuously, and in full, but this is not possible when watching Sky. I doubt if Sky ever shows a full minute of live action. Examples of what I mean. Every time possession of the ball goes to the other team, every time a penalty is awarded, live action stops being broadcast, and we get shown, what happened a few seconds ago. A big tackle is made, we have to see a repeat (to satisfy certain commentators lust for brutality). Showing crowd scenes or team coaches when live action is ongoing. All this just spoils the experience of a live game for me. Would like to hear what others think on this subject. Thanks.

When I wanted to watch a match on the Sportsman I connected my laptop to TV using a. HDMI connector.

Yes I've heard about suggestions to extend tram route to that area, but would probably take ages to plan, and even longer to construct.

None, got so fed up of the way Sky Sports broadcast rugby league, I cancelled my subscription.
