But moaning about it being on a thursday night when that is the ' Deal ' is pointless

I wish Leigh were in the NRC semi final on thursday night TV :wink:


Ah right, I see what you meant now.

Yes, that's the point I've been trying to get across.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

Sky and the RFL have an agreement to show one of the NRC semi-finals on a Thursday night, when it is deemed championship/NRC games would get maximum exposure.

Move both games to Sunday then it will break the agreed contract. Either that or the Championship/NRC should not be shown on TV until the final of both.

So no, it's far from simple.


It is simple, but the RFL and Sky don't give a shiny sh*te about anything aside from their contracts, hence the problem.

You're not really taking on board the point I'm making, are you?

Never mind, carry on, it's all good for the game, yadda, yadda...

You have no point. You've just been digging yourself deeper and deeper onto a hole.

Yes we are , you are saying that not enough notice is given of these matches , but this match was announced at the start of the 2008 season

Is that enough notice ?

We have a TV deal , it is for thursday nights only , we either want it or we dont

personally after 3 years I dont think it is of any benifit to us , and I would drop it as soon as we can

As an alternative I would be asking for a Monday night ' Highlights ' programme featuring a game from both divisions of the championship instead

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

It is though, on a Saturday or Sunday we would have taken a good 3 - 400 for the importance of the game and now we will probably scrape together getting 50.

I agree with Rover 83, the scheduling could be improved, but not much more. Its great that we are on tv every now and again, gives the club to get extra sponsorship on board.

It should do as more people will see the sponsors (hoardings/shirts).

Or doesn't it?
