Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

No, neither can I to be honest.
It's impossible to even try to guess just what the finances of running Odsal will be, though we were told it was totally unsustainable just over 12 months back and I really don't have a clue just how much the stocks/speedway input will add to the overall position.
As for the streaming service, I've only seen a couple of games from previous seasons and the quality from ourleague was actually pretty good, obviously not as good as being there, but it is what it is for the forseeable. I'm not really one to be too pessimistic but I'm coming to the conclusion that we'll probably see more games streamed than at the ground. Even when fans are allowed I can't see it being, in any way, 'normal'.

They usually video the game with copies for both Team Coachs and of course the RFL Disciplinary Committee and also the Refs Management. If live streaming is not a viable option a replay on the Bulls Tv should be doable.
I remember someone saying we are lining up a championship centre and I see Menzie Yere isn't at Sheffield anymore. I know he's getting on abit but he's always played well against us and would be awesome inside any of our wingers
The problem I see with streaming is that you really need to tie in the customer with a package so the money is guaranteed. If it is per game people will gett out of the habbit of going to games and then they will also get into the habbit of not paying for a game and then all of a sudden you have lost them completely. Once they decide not to pay for a game and that game turned out to be a poor one they think twice about paying again. A season ticket streaming price would be better all round.
