deluded pom? Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is great except for one thing. When I initially registered I was asked to validate my membership via an email that was sent to me. The only problem is I never received an email. They ask me to resend my email if the original one didn't arrive but still I never received an email. I gave up in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakkers Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Fantastic news. Are these games available to watch after the event if you are otherwise engaged during the live broadcast, or is it a case of live or nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like it, but a Smart TV should have a web browser which you can use to log in and watch. Or you may be able to cast the stream to the TV.

Also jesting aside fair play to the RFL for doing it and getting some League 1 rugby some airtime. Even as a Bulls fan its easy to see York have been the most cohesive side to watch this year. Plus Workington have had a great season and are a force at home. Can see why they have chosen to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a new RFL initiative it seems and one I hope becomes a regular feature past this season to increase exposure of the league in general from a central source .

Futtocks Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 It is excellent news, and I hope this is just a taster for at least one match per week over the whole season to be streamed next year.

If they build up a big enough free subscription base, they can start adding premium content with greater effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adeybull Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The live streaming of Bulls games this season (other than at Town, who banned it) has been absolutely excellent. Great to see the approach being taken up on a wider scale - I suspect it will go down reallly well. I would very much urge supporters of clubs in the higher leagues to take the opportunity of watching some of the L1 games - especially those involving teams like the match being streamed. I suspect more than a few might be a bit surprised at just how entertaining they are. The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts. Bury your memories; bury your friends. Leave it alone for a year or two. Till the stories grow hazy, and the legends come true. Then do it again - some things never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I wonder if the commentators will be neutral or as biased as the clowns who commentate on the Bradford games? Them 2 are shocking and embarrass themselves every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I have been impressed with the objectivity - even if Mick was telling us things about our lot we would rather not hear. And, given that the streaming is a BRADFORD initiative, even if the commentators WERE partisan, so bloody what? If you want impartial commentary, go pay for it yourself! Although I note that most supporters of opposition teams have expressed surprise at the objectivity of the commentary, and at how clued up the commentary was about the players of the opposition team.

Dave T Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 13 minutes ago, Johnoco said: There's probably more on this game than the one against Bradford earlier in the season, so why aren't Workington afraid of losing punters now? Seems a bit inconsistent. In fairness this now sounds like a joined up approach from the league, who knows, they may have even agreed compensation for televised games - rather than one club wanting to pitch up with their camera and broadcast away games to their fans. Either way, this is a good solution, and I expect the Bulls taking the lead on this has shown that there is a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't see the confusion: Scenario 1 - Game streamed by the Bulls, with no potential revenue to Workington, with one-eyed Bulls commentary and presentation. Scenario 2 - Game streamed by the league, with potential compensation / revenue for Workington, with impartial commentary / presentation. Anyway, this is a really good development and the most interesting thing to emerge on Our League yet. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
