  1. From the press release Sky Sports+ launches in August to give more choice to fans via live streams, app and new channel | Football News | Sky Sports Once live, customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won't need to do a thing; Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW. The revamped Sky Sports App will also become the ultimate home of sports streaming on mobile devices with Sky Sports+ streams accessible via event centres in the app. New personalisation features will help fans follow their favourite teams and competitions more easily. An improved multi-sports scores section will offer fixtures, live scores and an extended view beyond the usual seven-day football calendar. Refreshed design and navigation, including a much-requested dark mode will improve usability.
  2. I'm on Sky Stream so assuming for me it'll be just an app on my list like Netflix etc but will still interact with the main screen like most of the apps do
  3. Yeah - I guess SL+ would be the cheaper option of the two.
  4. Hope you lot who like it get a good show - never been my thing, doubt it ever will
  5. Watching Hull FC beat Warrington is enough entertainment for me
  6. This time clubs have been given enough time and information to know what they need to do, not like 1995 - look at what you could have won
  7. Most definitely. I remember Jim Mills (chairman at the time) walking amongst the crowd after the "soft" protest on the field talking to people with a smile on his face, saying Lindsay had re-assured him mergers were off and teams had a route to SL through the normal way. Nobody at that time imagined or knew it was a top 10 only thing - hence the bitterness afterwards. I'm more or less over it now - it was a massive move for the game and was not implemented as well as it could have been. If known about the top 10 qualifying at the start of the season I reckon we could have seen different teams at the start of Super League and given the stakes seen some bumper crowds as teams tried to get into the promised land, finding out after the fact was really poor
  8. Jeez. Can’t believe I have to do this Fact 1 - The top ten clubs of the season before the Centenary Season (1994/95) were chosen for SL (the centenary season being a stop gap season before SL started so there wasn’t too long a break before migrating from Winter to Summer rugby Fact 2 - London & Paris were added to those 10 as capital teams from England & France Fact 3 - No promotions from Division Two from the 1994/95 season or the centenary season into the top division All this is actually backed up on Wikipedia if you choose to use that as your source. I think what you’re struggling with was the decision on who was admitted to SL in the first place, which was a debate that went on and on on that season, the initial SL announcement was all about mergers don’t know the exact date but I do remember protests on the field for Widnes v Warrington on Good Friday of that season which was pretty late in the season, once merger's were off the decision to as to have the top ten teams - that was well after some teams had though they’d done enough to escape relegation from Division One and Keighley in Division Two thought they’d won promotion Now you can believe this or not, doesn’t really bother me, I am curious when and what you thought actually happened to determine the 10 clubs who got a SL place alongside London & Paris
  9. Having been around at the time I’m comfortable to know what happened. I’ve advised you as such, by your own admission are just going off league tables on Wikipedia- a lot happened over the course of the 1994/95 season from the initial mergers announcement to what happened with the chosen few. I’ve made my peace with it now. But will call out people speaking nonsense about it
  10. Dismissing as not relevant is a cop out, if you’re repeating misinformation
  11. Widnes finished outside of the agreed relegation places agreed at the start of that season (along with others) only at the end of the season the goal posts moved to allow the top 10 in super league along with London & Paris , and promotion from division 2 was blocked from he normal qualifying places
