Eddie Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I haven’t seen this posted anywhere else but apologies if it has been. However Sky have confirmed this year’s Bash will be televised in full again - great news. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/56394/sky-sports-to-broadcast-summer-bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Good for some of these clubs to get TV exposure and some good games in prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 What’s the point of the Bash? I’m not just knocking lower league RL but I don’t really get it. I say that as someone who likes Magic from a fans point of view but I’m not certain on the purpose of that either, though I can see how people will try and say it’s helping the game in the North East, but I’m not sure the games in Blackpool are anything more than something for the fans. Does it make money? Do clubs make any money from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives a cheap opportunity for TV coverage of the Championship , it probably covers it's costs , and gives the fans who attend a weekend or day ' on the pop ' I don't like Blackpool but I enjoy the Bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheap mini holiday in cheesy Blackpool which is set up for nights out after If the fans like it then that's enough surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing a double header with Leeds/Catalan in Tolouse on the same weekend Makes absolutely no sense to me and I would much rather we were doing the Bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it make money? Do clubs make any money from it? TV, TV, TV! Having all the clubs in one place means Sky are willing to cover all the games live at little extra cost. The alternative is... not having the games on TV, so a no brainer really. If Sky ever decide that the weekend is not worth covering regardless, then they start to look in doubt. Especially Bash.

Its also a money spinner for the game. Me and the mrs go every year, wouldnt miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfred Mann Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Sky should also provide coverage of the mouth watering Championship clash London vs Toulouse in Toulouse that weekend. Why is that important top of the table clash not being televised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
