RS50 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Anyway. Who would trust the BBC with rugby league? Just looked at their teletext service. According to them, the world cup fixtures are being played. Hope they are not spending our license fee sending camera crews etc there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned they're spending our license fee on keeping teletext going. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that 'teletext' carries the same data as the website/app, then the World Cup fixtures are on there but are marked as postponed or cancelled. But that doesn't quite work for the beeb bashing.

How would you relegate clubs based on their attendance to capacity ratio? One way to solve your problem would be to convert all SL grounds into 1,000 capacity stadiums, they‘d all be full and it would look ace on tv.

Teletext is no more it went when ITV stopped doing it. BBC do Ceefax and also want rid of it to save money but it's a godsend to many people so they have kept it -for now at least.

And again if you bothered to read the thread I already said I want weaker teams gone to be replaced by stronger teams to enhance the product. That 'ask a question they already answered if I bothered to read' isnt as enlightenning as you perceive it to be. Which team outside SL is stronger than Salford ?

Rugby League is a sport, played on a pitch by 13 (17) players. I don't know what it is that you're doing, it appears to be some sort of God plays Rugby League structures. But it's not sport and deciding clubs' futures based entirely on how "damaging to the product" you think they are would be deeply damaging to the sport's interests. On topic, the disappointment of the BBC pulling out so promptly is that there is less likely to be any sort of bidding war if C4 are interested. Which may involve it being provided FOC which would be a disappointing result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
