Mattrhino Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We only get Saturday SKY games because Catalan have a TV deal with bein sports which SKY piggy back the feed. Get rid of Catalan then we have no game on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damp squib Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You've certainly found yourself a niche with that pro-London, anti-Catalans position. Usually it's 2-for-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexRL Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 5 hours ago, John Drake said: Here's some perspective. It was the fourth best attended Rugby League match in the world last year. 1. 82,259 (Origin II) 2. 79,722 (NRL Grand Final) 3. 72,827 (Super League Grand Final) 4. 68,525 (Challenge Cup Final) 5. 52,540 (Origin III) 6. 50,390 (Origin I) This against a backdrop of Rugby League folk constantly running it down and calling for it to be scrapped. Imagine what could be achieved if we talked it up occasionally! Sure, there are always different ways of doing things, opportunities to tweak what happens before the final itself, but scrapping the Challenge Cup altogether would be an act of gross self harm by Rugby League IMO. Worth remembering that the awful travel problems in the NW reduced Wigan fans attending. I think actually the CC is on the up. The BBC screening every round has created loads of interest. For the first time this Saturday I’m off to a round one match. In football the FA Cup dipped in popularity a few years ago. Of course it’s almost certain a SL team will win (upsets are possible earlier on) but it remains a great day out and last year at the final I sat next to Skolars, Broncos, Leeds, Castleford and Halifax fans as well as Hull. The cost of getting and staying in London is an issue but, no, no, no! Keep it going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Terrible idea taking away our only high profile game in the capital and stopping live games on free to air tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RNRL webpage has had a good piece about this fixture for a number of days, and the extraordinary fact that this is the fourth time the Navy and Normanton have met in the challenge cup; the previous three had winning margins of two points twice and four points once. Select 'News and Calendar' on the drop-down menu at the top of the home page. By the way, it is 2pm at the United Services ground in Burnaby Road, Portsmouth. "As always all spectators service or civilian are welcome to the game and admission is free with bar facilities available from 1.30pm." I would have gone, but have a choral commitment in Salisbury that day, and don't want to let anybody down over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredgie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Do apologise Dragon & to the RNRL, I obviously missed that although in my defence I tend to look under fixtures to find out when a game is taking place! I shall pop down and take in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
