They are showing NHL which clashes with most of the 2nd day. All the games from Saturday will be shown on delay on Sunday.

Either way they both sound very familiar to me
You appear unable to separate two entirely different issues...
1) An unwillingness to pay full price for tickets to attend RL games.
2) An unwillingness to pay full price for subscription TV channels.
In the case of 1) above, any committed, self-respecting fan of the game of RL would surely be prepared to pay full price for admission? In order to benefit the financial health of the game along with the club you support. In your case? Clearly not, as evidenced by your own admission regarding a cultural attachment to the purchase of heavily discounted season tickets along with promo coded £5 tickets for the RLWC.
In the case of 2) above, I've never ever pretended to be a committed, self-respecting fan of Sky or Premier Sports or any other TV subscription service. I don't give a jot about any of them, how healthy their business is, what their turnover is or what their profits/share prices are. I'm not Rupert Murdoch's biggest fan either. If they want my custom, they either deal me a sizeable discount on a subscription package or they lose me completely.
Comprendez?
No?
Thought not.

Careful.
Or you'll spill all those apples and oranges.

He's been trying to backtrack for 2-3 pages
Can't wait for him to start slagging SL in the next few weeks as according to him, people who don't go to matches aren't allowed an opinion (see numerous WC/NRL threads). This from the bloke who hasn't been to a SL match in over 3 years (although he will watch it via heavily discounted TV subscription packages).
