Yep, even live PL football got a rude awakening when it tried its PPV model last season, which was hastily rejected by fans

They were trying to charge for individual games on top of subscriptions though. If we gave a % of games to Amazon Prime for example, I don't think we would have many issues.

Well, apart from RL fans will moan about anything and everything.

DZNE have bought BT sport, and seem to be wanting to expand, so they they could be another option in the future.
I actually wouldn't mind if Amazon ended up showing SL games. It's far cheaper than sky.

This, at least looks like a way of The Championship securing some revenue, which, if the rumor's are correct, may not be certain when the new SL deal comes into force.
Like other posters, Monday nights seem a bit of a strange one but, I dont suppose that there are too many options.

Quote shinymcshine="shinymcshine"There's an interesting article regarding RU Premiership attendances being down over their opening weekends, plus the loss of their Ch5 highlights programme. Seems no matter how passionate a supporter base might feel, it just doesn't grasp a wider viewing audience in significant numbers, and therefore, in context with Championship RL, you can see how hard it might be to squeeze much money out of a broadcasting deal: https://inews.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/b ... id-1226592'" Interesting to see RU premiership still looking for a terrestrial broadcaster to pick up the 5 live games on offer. Suggests that Super League will have same difficulty.

Moaning…..RL fans…..no way????

DAZN are in talks with BT sport. No deal has been agreed yet.

Deal done for £200k. £6k for each club per year.

So, if each club had just 200 fans signed up for a streaming service at £10/mth (for a 6 mth season) they'd probably, once accounting for overheads, make more money than the TV deal.

Boring old Mondays, Now we have a chance to watch RL on a monday without having to give up much else. Do for me...

As a supporter of a super league club I am interested in this. The more games outside of the SL I can watch the better & the cost seems reasonable. Monday nights to me are OK as I don’t follow Wendy ball.
At least the Championship clubs are getting some money from outside their own ground takings. It would be great if we had free to air coverage but then why should people get our sport without paying when most of us pay on the gate?
