Not by posters on this thread listening through my window, although Futtocks may be able to clarify if I'm mistaken. That seems a bit unrealistic. 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...

I am not sure what the most watched (millions/v) sporting occasions on TV are in the UK, but I expect all of them are on the BBC or ITV rather than SKY. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandOffHalf Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 22 hours ago, Just Browny said: I'm sad about the cup. I think as a game we committed an act of self-sabotage by only bringing the SL clubs in at the last 16 round, and it is poor that even that round is now going to be hidden away from view. It's particularly annoying when a broadcaster owns the rights to something but won't show it (don't tell me it is on the red button, only the hard-core RL fans will find it there). I also feel for the people who made and watched the Super League Show. It was always on at an awkward time, and only available several days after the main games, so I can see why it has gone. But I always found it to be a decent watchable show and I think things could have been done to make it more watched (mostly around scheduling). Another nail in the coffin to the CC IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean better in terms of exposure, or better in terms of the coverage? You're probably right if it's the first, but I liked the tone on 4.

You're probably right if it's the first, but I liked the tone on 4. Exposure, visibility, longevity. I did like the tone of the C4 coverage and felt it raised the bar a lot on what could be done. 5 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

There are millions of people employed to spy on their neighbours and jot down what they're watching. In fact at any one time half the country are involved in this endeavour. Then there's a shift change and they themselves get spied on by the other half. Maybe there's a better way but we just don't know. 6 I was born to run a club like this.

JohnM Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Really great piece on the new SL season on BBC Breakfast TV this morning, with big focus on Sam Burgess. Could this be Warrington's year? . . . Worth looking at it on iPlayer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Gordon Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 19 minutes ago, Gooleboy said: In what way? I think I caught BBC Sport at a bad time. It was the morning of HFC-HKR and their lead RL story was about tramadol misuse. I've been pretty impressed since. All games have highlights up and some have comments opened.

Will be interesting to see if they do any kind of release on overall figures for the weekend. It would be great if we could hit 1m+ viewers for weekends like this when we have a BBC game.
