| Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"It is a good illustration of the "damned if you do..." aphorism, as RFL are crticised (rightly IMHO) for a TV deal giving the rights to broadcast the Championship to a company that does not intend to broadcast it; yet if they Do manage to get someone to broadcast Championship games, others complain about that.
I don't understand the "hit ticket sales" objection. Talk about glass half empty. If the commercial at the club can't make some money out of advertising at a televised fixture then they should all be sacked.
And if televising killed the numbers attending, what happened at the darts, which was broaqdcast wall to wall, yet is always packed out?
The answer is of course that it's NOT the televising, it's how the game is marketed. Darts have the great advantage of being the current home of the Hearns. If only they would switch to RL as their next interest.'"
Perhaps the example that York set in actually seeking to sell the fixture (others may have done as well) and had a bigger crowd than they have had for a good number of years. |

| Quote ="luke ShipleyRed"It is reported in league Express, that several championship clubs have expressed there concern to the RFL after it has emerged that they were unaware of a deal that premier sports had agreed with the games governing body to broadcast Toronto games from there grounds in 2018. A number of clubs raised their concern about a failure to be consulted by any party.
There is also confusion at why premier are being allowed to Broadcast from there ground at no cost.
And at the fact that Sky own the rights to the Championship (though they refuse for some reason to show any games apart from summer Bash).
Does anyone at the RFL actually know what they're doing. This is basic stuff, get in touch with the clubs and sky. And come to some sort of agreement (it's not hard).
And this is who we entrust to take the game forward, or even look after the game?
God help us.'"
I think they tend to 'forget' that RL exists outside of the Super League and the expansion teams... |

Or, Beaumont agrees to live coverage of the game, after dialogue with the opposition, the RFL and the broadcaster. That's really the way it should have been done in the first place, surely?
Coincidentally, at the same time, Toulouse have announced that their home game with Leigh has been switched to Albi - 'only' 75km from Toulouse - with no consultation with the Leigh club, whose supporters have been told that 'there is a good train service between the towns'!
Apparently, Leigh are waiting until nearer the date of the home fixture with Toulouse, to advise them that the venue is being switched from LSV, to New York, as a promotional exercise!
