Just cancelled my Sky Subscription can you get Premier via Freeview ?

No.

I'll be having some of that, and a tenner goes to the Dons as well!

I won't be subscribing to Sky sports again. This is far better value for better rugby.

At least with the Championship and NRL you probably won't know who's going to win. SL is a very over hyped predictable product in my opinion.

Any progress re Premier being available to Virgin customers?

What is a Sky platform user ?

If u still have a skybox, sky dishand a viewing card (even if inactive) u can subscribe

Thanks.

sounds like a good offer ,considering that the majority of our away games means a lot of traveling so if they televise some of our away games it means we would get the chance to see the team in action from our armchairs, thinking of games at such as south wales and the cumbrian teams,lets hope its our last season in championship 2

Championship 1 please !

It was obvious from round 1 that Leeds would beat Saints in the GF.

That's what has happened on most occasions in recent history.

Not many. I would imagine most of the games will be Championship as they were on Sky.

Championships games - 32 (inc NRC)



Looks like they are just trailing the Championships for the first year as NRL was only shown 40times in the First Premier Sports season and now they are up to about 160games being shown, 4 times the original slot.

I don't have good vibes about this new arrangement with Premier Sports.



When Championship rugby was with Sky, the lower leagues would pick up interest from Super League fans, and the general profile of lower league rugby was raised somewhat. This probably won't happen now. I can't imagine many Super League fans signing up to Premier Sports to watch Championship rugby.



I suspect viewing figures will be considerably less with Premier Sports. We're all having to pay the equivalent of around 75% of our Dons season ticket to view the games, which would have been included in most people's normal Sky Sports subscription. The lower viewing figures, and lack of exposure on Sky, will mean Championship rugby is less attractive to potential club sponsors.



If Premier Sports was available on Freeview, or Virgin, it may have opened the doors to potential new viewers. It's not available on either - which means it is Sky Sports customers mainly who will be joining up.



I hope the RFL have thought this through properly or else we could find that Premier Sports coverage flops, and Sky don't want us back.



I'll be signing up to Premier Sports. I wish them every success and hope their coverage does the games justice. I still have my doubts as to whether this is a good move for Championship clubs though.

I was going to sign up with premier in any case this season just for the NRL games but adding the CC games has made it even more of a good deal. 170 NRL games sounds good to me.

I am not interested in NRL games and I am not going to pay for 32 Championship games, since we are not even in that division.

As a Sky Sports customer who got Championship games thrown in with my package last year, I am not best pleased.



I watched championship games out of curiosity more than desperately wanting to anyway, so I am not that bothered.

I think Stand-Offish's view is very much in line with what a lot of people will think.



I'm not into the NFL and have no interest in that. I enjoy watching the Championship on Thursday night which is why I'll cough up the dosh ... but I'd rather it be part of the Sky package I already pay for.

I am quite amazed at the apathy people have to watching the Australian NRL. It is the premier RL competion in the world, miles ahead of Super League. I will be going with Premier but not bother with Skysports. I suppose it's whatever takes your fancy.

Clubs outside of Super League spent years campaigning to be able to break away from the Sky deal and to be able to negotiate their own, now we have got that we're not happy!

Premier Sports aren't exactly going to set the rugby world on fire with their "vast" viewing figures.



It seems like a backward step unless there are things that we don't know about.



Did Sky offer to cover games but the Championship chose Premier Sports because they thought they were a better option, or were Premier Sports the only company interested in covering us?



Does anyone have any inside info on this?

Just one fine point if I may make so bold.

Clubs are not individual viewers are they.

If I want to view this as an individual as well as have my Superleague, I have to pay more.

I don't see that as progress from a purely selfish point of view.

So I won't pay more and that is one less viewer.



If I was a NRL fan (yawn), I would think it a cracking deal, but I'm not, so I don't.



If the clubs (going back to what you referred to) get more revenue from this then fine, good luck to them.

But I can't see many ragging in Sky and the Superleague for this package, nor do I see many paying dual subscriptions.

Some will of course, we will see how successful it will be.

My opinion is it will appeal to a niche market only. But there are many NRL fans out there, so who knows.

i watched nrl when premier was part of sky package but havent watched it now for nearly 2 years i think it got more predictable than sl ok there was some big hits but it was more about defence and forcing other team to make mistakes than creative flare which is why i wasnt bothered apart from state of origin which is prob the best compitition in rugby! but thats shown on sky so ill stick with sky
