| They already have gate receipts from the 8000 or so season ticket holders.. May as well get some sky money and get the fixtures out of the way

True. However, there are also monies from other match day incomes not coming into the club.
Also, throw in that most clubs will probably have to look to reimburse supporters through a discount for the 2021 season and you can see they are going to have a hole in their already fragile budgets.

| I've lost the will to live, and decided to watch the NRL.
It's the only live sport (bar horse racing) to watch. All games are on a certain channel, if you go looking
It's still the same, very attritional, but beggars can't be choosers

Given up, after an hour. It's woeful.

| You did well to last that long. It is a sport that lends itself to highlight packages. After rummaging around I have found all my Season Review dvd's. Do you remember them?. Interesting stuff for reminiscing and a smile.

Sky have already paid for their SuperLeague games up-front via their contract.
The clubs do not receive any further payment if their home game is chosen by Sky as the televised game.

It would be nice if the bbc opened up the last decade or so of cup finals for us to watch in this difficult time maybe even add the semis as well. Sky on the other hand can keep their grand finals from this period to themselves.

| We could watch the closest we got to winning a GF, when Trent Waterhouse dropped the ball a couple of metres from the line against Leeds. If he had scored, I'm certain we would have won.

Crazy you've just said this as i was about to message on here to see if anybody knew where i could pick up our season review DVD's from 2005 onwards?
I've just bought the 2004 season review i found on Ebay. I used to have them all but over time they've slowly vabished or been damaged

| The option is to approach sky for a short term contract...who are of course desperate for some live sport to keep subscribers up to £200k..?, over the standard £40k per game in a close stadium.
They get to be economical with a show... 4 hours and perhaps repeats.
Season ticket holders are to be given a £20’ish voucher to either redeem at the club later or exchange for accredited account on choice.
We may as well suck up and except that otherwise games will be lost any how and season ticket holders will still probably receive game refund credits wether the game is played closed or not at all.

| Talking of matches you want to watch again - mine was the CC semi at Widnes when we beat Wigan and then went on to beat Hudds. I forgot to record it at the time and have never seen it since.

| The highlights are on the CC final DVD when Monaghan took charge and made Feka look like he was stood still and kept running straight round him

| Spot on. That was the genius of Tony Smith to single out Feka as his fitness and mobility were open to question. I remember that set of six when we ran at him for almost every tackle. It was a cracking game and I did rather enjoy Chris Hicks late try to seal the win. Great memories.

I believe that was a plan devised by Michael Monghan during training in the week leading up to the game.

You may be right. I just remember understanding that TS did the game plans. Not surprising if Monas had input or even the ideas itself, he was a clever rugby player.

whoever came up with it... it was a brilliant plan.
I think that was my favourite ever game of RL.. it had everything.... the Hicks try was the perfect end to the game.

| Going back to the 60s, the legendary film This Sporting Life is on Talking Pictures tv channel this Saturday about 9pm.
A kitchen sink drama, that British cinema was excellent at, about Rugby League .

| I've not seen that one for a long while. Richard Harris and Wakefield Trinity, from memory. I don't think there's any Wire references in the film, but it was a while ago when I saw it.

That's a good enough reason to watch BBC.
