Great idea... When they started selling the Salfird game on DVD last year I was quite happy to pay £5 for selected games so £2.50 per month is great value for money.

As others have said, U16's and U19's would be good as well. They were definitely showing highlights of them last year on the odd occasion so I would assume they would show them.

One would assume that they will tell us what they intend to show in order to attract subscriptions??

To show highlights you have to record the full match anyway, so I guess there is little cost involved, other than a small increase in download time and even that is mitigated by not having to edit it before putting it out.

In terms of the monthly charge, we need to know just what the plans are for the off-season as Bulls' TV has pretty much closed during this period up to now.

I asked this via Twitter

Re Bulls TV subs will that include any Sky shown games and also the Super 8's and MPG? and will there be a 12 month option?

And the reply

Yes, all those game are included. You'll have the option to pay monthly or for 12 months

The cost is an annual cost so if BullsTV goes dormant in the off-season that isn't really a bad thing, we all need a break to refresh our appetites.

Highlights of all games are a must as it's sometimes not easy to find an hour and a half time or the inclination to sit through a whole (say) U19s match, and if I've been to a good game then it's great to watch the highlights but I won't often watch the whole of all but the best or more controversial games from end to end. What with Sky, Bulls, NRL, there is only so much time I can eke out of a week to sit and watch RL

I agree about the 'dormancy' thing - it's just that, from the early posts, it appeared as though it was only going to be available via a monthly subscription, and if that had been the case it would have impacted on the returns as people probably wouldn't pay during the off-season.

With any luck, money raised form this will go towards improving BCB's coverage!

That said, I do like JP and Hobbo's passion.

BCB was comical at times last week, but you had to feel sorry for poor Mr Gledhill and Hobbo trying to broadcast over a 3G connection because Whitehaven haven't really moved into the information age yet. No internet link for them to use to broadcast, so presumably one of them had to tether their phone and it kept dropping off.

Hobbo I tend to find difficult to listen to at times. Especially when he gets a bee in his bonnet about something (the referee and Caro's defence last week) and doesn't shut up about it. But I didn't mind JP's commentary and actually thought Mick did a good job last week under the circumstances.

It's a more difficult job than it appears.

Bit like refereeing.

I've just watched the 2004 WWC on bulls TV but it stopped on 76:20!!!

Let's hope that doesn't happen when we're paying for it

Looking forward to seeing the whole game. All the times I abuse the ref will be proved correct.

I didn't realise it was BCB doing the commentaries as I've never listened to their radio stuff. Mainly due to me always being at games, if at all possible and miles away from Bradford if I'm not! Find it fine, to be fair.

I asked in the office today [Wed] about the TV and was told that the 'trial' has been extended and the subscription put back a week due to problems setting up the payments on the website.

Website problems;payment problems? Surely not.
