SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

They will when they come on line , yes the Championship TV deal is part of the SL deal , the RFL approached another broadcaster to cover the Championships and were told they would have to pay , SKY then apparently offered to do the coverage for free , this also then brought the CO OP to the table with a £ 4,000 per match offer as part of the league sponsorship deal [ I am assuming that Northern Rail are matching this for the 2 play off games that are now covered ] , the deal is for coverage of the Championships [ both divisions ]
The issue is , how much do the clubs benifit from this coverage ? , bearing in mind that all clubs dont get covered and many clubs lose money on the coverage
Personnally unless there is an actual cash benifit I dont see many positives for the competition being on live TV , a better idea would be for a highlights show [ possibly on a monday night as the O/P suggested ] covering one game from each division , meaning that all clubs get featured during the season at home on a day when they can make best use of that coverage

The Thursday night games seem to have considerably higher crowds and would CO OP have sponsored the comp without the coverage on SKY

Has it ? , why how do the clubs benifit ?
Do they ? , not if you take away the 200 family tickets the clubs are obliged to give out
Possibly not , but how much is that sponsorship worth ?

| What you hope is that the impressive ratings for the Championship thus far allow a better hand at the next negotiating table. One week recently the Championship outrated the Guiness Premiership.
No, it isn't going to get a multi million pound deal but from small seeds grow bigger plants

| The point of this subject is that if you are going to give up the ' live ' aspect of your sport , there must be some financial recompense , if there is not then you dont give it up , if as in Internationals you are able to sell over 75 % of your venues then it doesn't matter , the regular season matches should not be televised live

I would suggest that a magazine programme on a monday night showcasing 2 matches would pull in ratings just as good as a live thursday night game , it would have less impact on attendances , would show the championships in a better light as there would be more travelling support and also give a better fairer spread of coverage

| Let's get the RFL lobbying Sky, it would be a tonic for the Championship 1 teams in terms of publicity and national exposure. With teams from Gateshead, London and South Wales it would probably also help de-bunk the myth or RL being just a northern game.

That is part of my point , if those clubs were to play on their usual sunday slot they would be able [ with a little financial help ] to put on a better matchday experience that when carfully edited and then broadcast a day later could help them in attracting new support , a thursday match in most cases kills away support giving a low key atmosphere to some games , you also get situations like last thursday when a combination of bad weather and poor lighting makes the game seem dour and dark , when ' derby ' matches are featured attendanices generally suffer as many ' big game ' home and away fans will either stay at home or go to the pub to watch instead of attending
Plus good editing can make most games seem exciting , even low scoring or one sided games , football only gave up live matches for serious money , and even now there is more recorded coverage of the lower leagues than live
For play off or knock out games then live is the best option , regular season needs more coverage without affecting paying fans

From the other thread about a possible reduction in SKY , highly unlikely , no money , then drop the thursday game , get back to focusing on getting fans through the doors

No loads of other RL fans watch them all the time , including most SL club fans I talk to , but if there is no financial benifit to the clubs , dump them

Agreed, highlights package on Sky for C1 wouldn't be a bad idea. With C1 Play off games perhaps being shown live.
