Kayakman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 All of the Toronto games must be televised (home and away)...this is a must and should not up for negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Wolfpack are in the process of arranging a broadcast deal with a major sports network in Canada, but need to tie up some loose ends from previous seasons as part of the terms.

Only by the grace of those SL teams can Toronto fulfil their fixtures, I imagine the conversation goes a little like "we cannot use our our own ground, and in this big sporting metropolis we live in there is no one who will help us out with letting TWP use theirs, so can we please use yours Mr SL Chairman" Perhaps they should be a little more forceful!

Every team can only fulfil their fixtures because of the other teams. It’s sensible for them to play the early games over here when it’s too cold to play at Lamport.

It’s an advantage to the away team certainly, but that’s Toronto’s problem and they accept it. It also makes the loop fixtures fairer as each team only has to travel to Canada once.

I dont think we have created the most value when it comes to overseas teams, even les Catalans, whilst their home games have a slot the away ones are sporadic and largely not broadcast The TWP home games are currently scheduled for Saturdays 6.30pm UK time, which isn't a great slot as it could clash with Catalans. Hopefully they would be able to put Catalans at 4.30pm if they were to secure two TV deals for these where there is a clash. I think Catalans away games are broadcast pretty much as much as other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 6 minutes ago, scotchy1 said: It would be rugby league in a nutshell to schedule them overlapping then wonder why no-one was buying. There is a very easy package here for them to try and from what Sky have done before would think they.would either be interest in buying them or allowing them to be broadcast in another way. Les Catalans st 5:30, toronto at 7:30. Home and away. I haven't checked to see how many clashes there are, maybe we are being unfair and they have already planned this and have them at home on alternative weeks. That was a little joke.

I'd like them to try for alternative weeks where possible, so that we have a constant stream of 3 games per week, instead of 4 some weeks and 2 on others.

Dave T Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just now, scotchy1 said: Should be 4 every week. Toronto and Les Catalans need to be screened home and away. We are never going to realise the value of those markets while only half the games are really in anyway accessible. Les Catalans and toronto, 5:30 and 7:30 home and away. Well maybe, but that is more one for the new contract, which would hopefully have every game broadcast. But as things stand, Sky won't be going to Perpignan or Toronto so broadcasting those games via a 3rd party and Sky picking up the feeds is a no-brainer.
