Robin Evans Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do we get a backhander from sky if they're showing the game? "I love our club, absolutely love it". (Overton, M 2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grinder Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 And no Friday night games which is a bonus: Our fixtures in full are:- LEEDS RHINOS (H) Saturday 6th August KO 3pm HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS (A) Sunday 14th August KO 3pm LEIGH CENTURIONS (H) Sunday 21st August KO 3pm BATLEY BULLDOGS (A) Sunday 4th September KO 3pm SALFORD RED DEVILS (A) Sunday 11th September KO 3pm HULL KR (H) Sunday 18th September KO 3pm LONDON BRONCOS (A) Sunday 25th September KO 3pm I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do we get a backhander from sky if they're showing the game? Last year I seem to remember Leigh complaining about this after they were featured a few times in the middle 8s, so I suspect the answer is still no. AFAIK, the set-up is that Sky pay a big wad of money and then choose to show (or not show, in the case of the Champiosnhips) whatever they want, whenever they want with no further payments. The combination of Saturday televised fixtures and people inevitably being away on holidays meant that last year some of the crowds in the middle 8s were a bit lower than might have been expected. Leigh reported 7,000 for their home league game against us but didn't report a single 5,000 crowd (assuming those figures are correct) in any of their 4 home middle 8 games. So we might not get quite the bumper crowds you'd expect, but one thing's for sure, it will still be more than the 1k or so we'd have probably attracted to our home games if we were in the Shield.

I certainly think we have got the rub of the green with our home fixture though. All three Leeds Leigh and HullKR have all got good away followings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So who from Leeds will be playing for us seeing that we are playing them? The team selection will be interesting as some of the Leeds lads might have opted to play for us. Depending on that who is eligible for the other games? Any info received yet about the DR players decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three Leeds Leigh and HullKR have all got good away followingsif we had the choice and could pick the three.... i think those are what id pick from a fiscal point of view.Batley is my fav away day so nice to go to the mount as i missed the spectacle a couple of weeks back "I love our club, absolutely love it".
