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

The Tv figures are amazing, considering the first game had a 1hour build up. I'd imagine the match average would have been 350K+.
The thing that always annoys me is the play offs. There needs to be a reduced price ticket deal offered.

Quote ="SaintsFan"Sky made a commercial decision three years ago to include the Championships in their screening package. They were not interested this time around, apparently claiming that the Championship did not add value. Therefore, they have made another commercial decision, this time to stop screening the Championships. Nobody else was interested in taking up the Championships other than Premier Sports, and they wouldn't pay (except £10 to a club of your choice if you paid a year's subscription up front). That would suggest that rather than the RFL giving something for nothing, nothing was what was being offered in the first place. Whether league fans like it or not - and I certainly don't like it - Championship rugby league is not worth much in commercial terms and subscription TV companies in particular will make decisions based solely upon commercial value. Therefore, if Championship rugby league was to get any exposure at all, it was Premier Sports for £10 a shot, or ">nothing.'"
So nothing it should have been, the ' exposure ' isn't worth the costs to the clubs
