Iv asked on WIGAN site but not got the answer yet, but who where the teams in SKYS 1ST EVER game (not 1ST SL Game as that was PSG V Sheffield)

Oldham V Wigan at Boundary Park was the first SL game on British Soil covered by Sky
But with BSB squarial, it could of been Workington V Oldham ?

I answered it on the Wigan forum. Sky's First Game was a Premiership Trophy clash between Castleford and Leeds at Wheldon Road on 21st April 1991.

I think BSB's first match was Wakefield v Wigan from Belle Vue on 1st April 1990.

I remember the Leigh V Widnes game in 1989 was covered by the satellite cameras but did not actually go out onto TV. They recorded it as a trial. Think Leigh won a close game..

RL on ITV was good.

Especially on a Sunday afternoon

should be more RL available to terrestrial viewers - any publicity is good publicity IMO - surprised the RFL hasn't courted the beeb or ITV for Championship RL !

I remember Wire V Hull and you beat us 3-2.

When it wasnt on.

RL Live was on Saturday afternoons.

yeh,I've still got VHS tapes to prove it !

Was this programme was on was it presented by Clive Tyldesley and Rob McAffrey.

Defo a Saturday I remember that game really well. Cracking game even though it was only 3-2

Saturday 13th October 1990

though srumdown was on a sunday night

Scrumdown was but who mentioned Scrumdown?



Who said anything about Rugby League Live?

Now some of you whippersnappers may need to enquire of your fathers of even grandfathers but ITV used to show amateur rugby league games on a Sunday afternoon. The games usually involved the junior clubs affiliated to professional rugby league teams. This was in the late 60s / early 70s and I can remember seeing the likes of Roger Millward, Alan Hardisty etc playing on muddy, fog-bound fields.

One thing I hate is leary kids
