| Quote Alffi_7="Alffi_7"14 is the ideal number for me, but as previously said, no way will the cubs reduce the money they take from Sky.
So unless we see France and/or North America add to the pot, or we see Sky up their funding considerably, I can't see it happening in the short term.'"
Very good post indeed. Not just the obvious fact that France and North America are supposed to justify their SL places with their own TV deals.......
But it's the case that SKY pay the money to allow us to provide them a league in which clubs can put professional quality sides on the pitch to provide entertainment. They obviously judge that what they pay is enough and if they pay more, so we can have a bigger rump of go nowhere clubs at the bottom of SL that won't sell many more SKY subscriptions..
Having said that they paid considerably more last time allowing the top championship clubs to put together decent sides to battle out the MPG play offs. The question is did SKY sell shedloads more subscriptions as a result??? |

The market has changed, RL is the most inferior offering of any sport, Darts, Cricket, Snooker etc. better managed an better presented. Sky do not sell subscriptions based on having RL, the NRL is a better product. |

 Thanks but no thanks.
Thousands buy subs to follow English Rugby League, £200M TV deal said so. Absolutely no need to reply thanks..... |

| Quote Ste100Centurions="Ste100Centurions"Maybe the question should be asked, if a current SL Club cannot survive & operate on a 1/14 split with gate receipts, ST's , Corporate & Sponsors then, are they fit to be in Super Dooper League ???'"
t's not that simple though, is it.
If each club currently gets £1.6 million and you cut this to £1.3million, they all have to find an extra £300k just to stand still.
I realise that in relation to The Championship or League 1, SL clubs have a relative fortune to spend on players but, the reality is somewhat different. |

Yeh, I noted this and asked you about it on the "future" thread. Is DB positioning himself for promotion NOW following this weekends deliberations whether to re-admit Toronto?
It's a long shot but to stay on topic could Leigh and Ottawa join SL and Toronto re-join to make up this much wished for 14 club league? |

Exactly.
And to think that some believe that Sky care that the 12th team should be English because they might pick up another dozen or so subscriptions. |

It's not about subscriptions, it's advertising that fills their pockets.
Sky wouldn't care if it was a side from Mars v Uranus all stars, just as long as they had something to broadcast.
Of course they need people to watch so that the adverts are viewed but, they aren't bothered what is shown.
Of course, if nobody tunes in, they have a problem.
The sport should be doing what is best for the game of RL (long term) and then "sell" the product to the broadcasters and they should be doing a little more to look after the paying fans (although this is difficult right now), without giving too much ground to Sky and their ilk. |

again, more myopic bullshine, sport is business, the days of philanthropy have long gone (if they ever existed), If I have a billion pounds I could give away a million, when I am scratching for pennies every pound is a prisoner.
RL has been ruined by the whippet front. |
