Tommygilf Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It's a shame these matches couldn't be packaged up for Sky or another main broadcaster (like the old finals day was sort of), but I'm glad the Sportsman are picking them up and hope all clubs really push the accessibility on their marketing channels. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorky Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 This is great to see. I have really enjoyed the sportsman's coverage of games this season, knowledgeable commentary and its great to see some teams and grounds outside the superleague. Whoever picks their games to show in the challenge cup really has a talent, almost every game they showed was a real 50/50 battle. Just a shame their coverage is so sporadic, it seems months since they last showed a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogledd Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Great game at Cougar Park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Yes, it was a good game and the camera work, replays etc. are excellent on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. Commentary excellent - Hendo always a very astute observer of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Sportsman backed by Fred Done is a great advert for the lower divisions other broadcasters won't touch because there is nowt in it for them.Although a Man United supporter Fred comes from close to Salford and i am sure Rugby League is in his veins.His second betting shop was in Swinton not far from Station Road.And he often presents trophy's and medals on Betfred sponsored events.The Sportsman do Rugby League well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northamptoncougar Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 The game was genuinely better quality / commentary than the Superleague + games I’ve seen. Whoever puts these games together @ the Sportsman thank you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopie Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 It is nice for me to be able to watch the playoffs for free on youtube, but is it good for the clubs involved for their games to be given away for free, and how do the sportsman make any money off showing them, I don't get it?

JohnM Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 It's good that these games are on YouTube foc. The clubs ( marketing, players etc )can use their social media skills, capabilities and reach to encourage current fans, returning fans, lapsed fans, players "friends" and YouTube surfers to watch and to share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Betfred didn't sponsor the competitions, The Sportsman wouldn't be covering them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I think Fred Done has stepped down as a director of the Sportsman, although presumably he still owns it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
