Is this not still the same deal?

Channel 4 got the game for free whereas it was said the BBC are now paying.

It's disappointing not to be higher on the BBC Sport page but, annoyingly, given what's ahead of us, you can see why we're so low down. The BBC does, sometimes, give priority to what it is showing live whilst it's on but that seems hit and miss, and it's not just RL that doesn't get the benefit.

SL clubs look to reinstate Nigel Wood.

We used to mock the RU cone of silence whereby client journalists and favoured officers would just not draw attention to, or speak about, uncomfortable matters. And here we now are in RL. -

It can be a good indicator of the size of the operation. If you’re getting that up to date then you’ve probably (note: probably) got enough of a team covering the essential operational roles. -

It looks like nothing has changed because nothing has changed. -

It is. I still do think they’d not pass this weird test every time. And I am understanding it, right? The suggestion is that RL’s poor position is shown by the fact that it couldn’t easily move games around the country and guarantee an equivalent crowd? -

And if you moved Arsenal v Spurs to St James’s Park? -

What’s the list of English sports that could move a regular domestic club fixture away from the location of either of the participating clubs and draw an equivalent audience? Because I’m not convinced it even applies to football, really. -

From memory, it was this sort of loan which was the dagger for Rangers FC. Their last borrowing was against future season tickets which then did not increase by enough to cover that debt - let alone the others that they had accrued. -
About as long as you persist in creating a new identity to keep trolling? Or probably not, because no one normal could keep going for so long. Or, to be really obvious for the terminally stupid: 40,000 in the north is the same 40,000 who go to other games. 60,000 (ish) in the south will include thousands for whom this is there only direct connection. Therefore, the latter is more valuable if you wish to sustain and/or grow the game, the former is what someone who loves to contract the game would propose.

Spoken like a true believer that rugby league can never be bigger than it is now.

Not a cover version as such, but I just love watch musical people being creative for fun and revealing a little bit of how the magic works

I do see your point but it reminds me of our Australian friends before the first Vegas (before they’d twigged it was event for them not Americans) going on about how there was a collision sport market to be filled because the NFL season is over by February. There’s no evidence that’s really how sports or entertainment seekers see things.
