Dave T Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just now, GUBRATS said: But no mention of away games , who will they send to London , and Newcastle ? Yes, that could be a challenge for. Some fans, but if we are talking financial impact we are referring to the hosts. Hopefully there will be some pragmatism and an aim for Variety. For example if you are going to show Newcastle on a Monday you choose either the most local geographically or a team where the away following would be tiny anyway, therefore impacting a small number of people.

You know my opinions on what I believe the Championship clubs need to focus on , fans through the door , both home and away to create the atmosphere , to make the games and competition feel vibrant Monday nights with reduced fans from both will make the games lacklustre IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this piece... https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/championship-tv-deal-premier-sports-21839529?utm_source=leeds_live_newsletter&utm_campaign=rugby_league_lve_newsletter&utm_medium=email&pure360.trackingid={~TrackingId~}&fbclid=IwAR07lzzdseQwlOQ-GveGJ-1M8CloaoZlsstztQgC-BfxhtrzfhVG-IadHOI The maximum cap of games per team is four. Most teams will have fewer - 26 weekly rounds divided by 14 teams suggests most teams will have two, with a few 'top teams' getting three and a similar number having one.

crashmon Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 London hopefully will only have one home game (vs Sheffield probably)... Although the one London away game will probably be newcastle or Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct I think I had in mind home games, as a lot of the discussion was around the number of home games on the Season Ticket that would be affected. Speaking personally, I'd be more than delighted if our (Bulls) away game at Workington (or Haven or Barrow) gets chosen for the Monday night match. Less so for a home game against Featherstone or Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Visually, the budget will also be used to enhance the matchday experience. Flame cannons and fireworks are among the features that should be expected at games in an attempt to improve the product to audiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed , will it financially benefit the clubs ? , Not really Will it enhance and improve the visibility of the competition ? , Not really Will it result in a huge detrimental affect on attendances overall ? , Not really Will it inconvenience loyal fans who currently attend most home and away games ? , Not really , unless your club ends up playing 5 times away on a Monday night at clubs too far away to realistically attend So essentially " we've got a deal " , said in a squeaky ' love island ' type voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
