I’m with Chalmers 100% and it just goes to highlight one of the reasons I fell out with the sport I once loved more than anything.

Clubs generally show no passion or any interest in growing the game. Look at Wigan and Leeds in the early days of Summer Rugby and SL.

This season the live streams have given me some of the spark back - so much so I may find myself stepping foot back in Odsal (and away grounds) for the first time in over 10 years. This type of penny pinching does the sport no favours as my momentum needs to be maintained and having to check whether clubs are saying yes or no to the streams won’t help.

I could understand to a point if Workington was round the corner but no one thinking about travelling all that way would be put off by a live or delayed stream surely? This stance by Workington will likely cost them more fans than the stream.

You really couldn’t make it up - most sports kill for any kind of exposure. RL clubs seem to love to kill the exposure!!!

Thanks for the Utube upload. When do the Bulls Ladies team start their season? Just been told maybe my daughter could be playing for them. If so, I can join the gang of parents who's offspring are representing the Bulls. So Proud (if its true)

I see it that, when the fixtures come out people will decide then which away matches they can make, for what ever reason.

Cant imagine streaming the game will have a massive affect on the clubs, those in cumbria/london/wales are a long slog to get to so id think the diehards would be going but most would rather stay home and listen on radio.

The Stream makes no difference to me if i go or not, its nice to have it but isnt the overriding factor in my decision, id attended the games which take about an hour to get to, so greater Manchester and west Yorkshire (donc is probably the farthest but that is also due to me having friends who live there also) anything further a field i wouldn't bother.

The stream is a good idea an if the quality improves id be all for paying for it, that said, if we are promoted and the majority of games are within my travel distance i would probably watch it live instead. It does allow for great exposure to the lower league which RL is lacking, freesports showing the NCL games is also a great idea.

Quote: Nothus "So something has obviously changed between what was originally said in our statement on Saturday and now because the full game is up to watch on the proper sport facebook page.

I'm confused, our statement definitely said that even a delayed showing was not allowed?

Perhaps Mick can provide some insight if he reads this?'"


Yes, there was but I'm not entirely sure what. Having not gone to the game (my son plays junior rugby on Sundays so it prevented me from making the trip up) I'm reliant on a family member's account of what they told me. This is a second hand account of what I have been told and is NOT my own personal account...

Supposedly, it was planned to be streamed right up to Friday when Blade Access sent a crane up to Workington in preparation for the stream. On arrival Workington claimed to have never agreed to this and denied the club permission, cue a lot of media slanging between chairman and supporters.

On the day of the game, I am told that Mick and John Keyes were initially refused access to the ground before being allowed in. Also the club video analysis team "lost" some kit which was being used for post game analysis (not sure if they got it back).

Inside the ground, in the stand it was suggested a long standing Bulls supporter was physically attacked (face clawed) by a Workington Town players mother.

My said relative also spoke with a member of the Workington Town club who said there had also been reports of fan trouble outside the ground (not sure what this would amount to).

All in all, usually the trip up to Cumbria is one that I would usually look forward to. However after what I'm hearing someone somewhere is playing some games and has decided to stir up some e. Think its ended up costing Workington though as I don't think many bought food/drink etc from the ground.

Really is sad that it has come to this. I don't think AC helped matters by releasing the statement he did and Kear didn't look best pleased either. Think we should have took the moral high ground and kept mouths shut as it was bound to stoke a response.

Come on Mick... give us your side of the story!!!

Guys. I'm going to lock this now since I think we're sailing a little close to the wind with posting rumours and accounts that are second hand.

Mick was acting in a club capacity so is unable to comment further.
