| The answer to the original question is no. It is a very good additional feature for Hull KR fans but away fans will not pay £35 for a delayed streaming of an away game at Hull KR several days later. I doubt many RL fans would pay that amount of money for live broadcasting of the Grand Final in SKY HD if it was only available on a pay-per-view basis for £35. I certainly would not pay £35 to watch a game I could not attend from the comfort of my own living room, I simply go without check the scores, watch the tries on Boots & All etc or my clubs own short highlights package etc. I accept under the Hullkrtv subscription they would have the facility to watch probably a single camera view of all of Hull KR's other games but I do not think fans of other clubs would get much use out of that. You could turn the question around would an Hull KR fan who is a season ticket holder or regular pay at the gate supporter pay a £35 subscription if they were to miss one home game due to work or holidays etc? Probably not.

| HKRs away support is well over 1.5 million, so a few might be put off. The M62 might be a little less busier too.

Wow absolutely hilarious!
I've signed up to the service, only cost me 30 as I was one of the first to sign up for this season. For Rovers fans who can't get to many games it is a fantastic service

| Thanks for the answers I guess when you look at the fact you've already seen all the tries and highlights by the Wednesday night you're probably not that fussed with seeing the rest of the game especially if you don't support that team. With it being around £50 per away game, per person with fuel, food, ticket, parking...etc even if you don't go to one game as a HKR fan it is worth it but as you say just for one away game it's probably pointless and most could live without it.
I'd still think landlords would be interested as it could probably get a fair number of people in on a generally quiet night.

| If it is going to have any negative effect on attendances, whilst it will be minimal - it could detract the fair-weather fan who goes to three or four a season and tunes into the radio.
