sentoffagain2 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 When the current contract is up it may be the right time to ditch SKY.Their choice of presenters constantly jabbering on does nothing for the game.Premier Sports and Channel 4 show just how stale SKY has become.Time for a change as Sky content over the last few years has steadily gone down the pan with only a handful of channels worth watching.

Not good from sky is it, we’re being marginalised as a sport by them even more than ever before. Magic Weekend has an effect. Sky are only contracted for a specific amount of live games. If they are showing all 6 Magic games then something has to give elsewhere as they are effectively showing 3 weekends worth of games in 1. 3 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm right in remembering that the reduced contract allowed also for a reduced number of games covered by Sky rather than simply being lower price, same number of games.

Chris22 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) And there's three Super League matches on TV in two weeks, as there was in Rounds 1 and 5, which is why we have had reduced coverage for this week and last.

Tommygilf Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just now, meast said: @Tommygilfdo you not think that attracting people to Stadiums to put money into the sport and clubs is a good thing then? I'm yet to see evidence that a sport not being televised has led to any significant increase in funds to that club/sport by walk up. Last week's low attendances once again showing how not being on TV has no noticeable uplift in attendances. If Huddersfield vs Leeds was on TV, the number of people watching it would increase by 25 times at least. Modern world being a bit naff maybe, but that's just how the world is, and the TV deal pays a huge chunk of the bills. The chances are instead of going to a game, most people will just watch or do something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Dream on everyone there is currently one player in town SKY. Richard Lewis made the big mistake of peeing them off bringing IMG in for the negotiations.

Realistically that is LUFC, F1 and Leeds Rhinos tbh though: we used to watch a lot more RL not involving our team but have just found our interest waining in recent years. There's been more than 1 thursday night this year alone where both Leeds teams have been playing on Sky Sports at the same time too. I doubt we would keep Sky sports if it was just for RL or Leeds Rhinos though. Especially with live games, Now TV and the odd channel 4 game being available options too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
