Blind side johnny Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Only after the Sky deal ends though, so don't hold your breath. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthegasman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Channel 4 in fairness do a good job with sport.They were very good when they had Test Match Cricket.I think they have rugby union and I think they have women’s rugby union and when I last watched them cover it,they did a very good job.And if memory serves me correct they once had American Football and that has helped it gain some popularity here(not my cup of tea I admit)to a degree that it will be played at Spurs new ground. I for one hope Channel 4 do join up with us as I think they would be a perfect partner and being free to air as opposed to a very expensive monthly fee with Sky or BT it will give Championship clubs(it will be that the Championship and Championship 1 merge)the exposure needed. And Channel 4 have often championed the underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least the RFL are relocating to Manchester. No doubt the lower costs of taking the trophies to the winners' grounds will save a bit.
