Who knows. What is clear is that he's a boring p r I c k, and that he's never once demonstrated any understanding of the intricacies of the game thats played on the field. No, instead his prowess lies in winding up a bunch of strangers on a message board, we can only dream of being such an inspirational figure. |

1. Do not take any notice of any official viewing figures presented by BARB. Their figures are fudged, agenda-driven, incomplete and based on an extremely small and biased sample set. Their viewing figures intentionally portray rugby league in the most negative light possible whilst artificially boosting rugby union viewing figures on BT Sport. In conclusion, BARB are not to be trusted as an organisation because they must really hate rugby league.
'"
Nope, no one's said anything of the sort. As usual you're just making stuff up, which is a bit sad really.
Quote: William Eve "
2. Viewing figures issued by the RFL (via their partners at Sky) are the only viewing figures to display incredible accuracy and potency. They shall always guide you towards the real truth. They also prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Super League is far more popular than **darts. As for rugby union viewing figures on BT Sport? Hahahahahaha - according to Sky's incredibly accurate findings on their hugely more popular TV platform.
'"
See above.
Quote: William Eve "
3. The highest ever, record breaking, box office smashing viewing figures for the opening game of Super League as announced by the RFL (via their Sky partners) were in 2012 (Widnes V Wakefield) and 2014 (Wigan V Hudds) and these are incontrovertible facts! It is mere coincidence that both those opening games produced astronomical Sky viewing figures which just happened to coincide with recent fanfare announcements of fantastically brand new Sky deals to televise the game from 2012-2016 and then extend it from 2017-2021 respectively. '"
Why would they need to lie (which is what you're saying) and make figures up *AFTER* a deal's been signed & announced?
Have some straws to grasp..

To be fair to young bill, this thread was designed to wind him up, yet has backfired spectacularly with the publication of the industry standard figures showing up the RFL's overuse of knock down Nigel's bumper book of spin! |

To be fair I agree, they're just as daft and as boring as he is. |

You can keep repeating that BARB are the industry standard, ill keep telling you that Sky have their own far more accurate figures from about 86% of boxes rather than about 30;000 BARB recorders, and a panel of 500'000 interview panel rather than 5100 for BARB. |

Is it 86% or about 86%?
Sky may well have a high percentage of their viewing figures down pat, but it doesn't make the barb website obsolete or their figures any less relevant....the RFL quoted other stations figures in their releases.....where did they take those figures from? |

It does. There is a reason why Sky set up a business to what BARB does. Because they can do it much better. |

Really? I disagree.
Given you and the Bradford Massive are currently throwing doubt on the % of my stats that are either accurate, inaccurate or just made up, I think it's a very valid question!
Quote: SmokeyTA " 86% of their boxes are connected to the internet and providing instant data about viewing.'"
Quote: SmokeyTA " figures from about 86% of boxes '"
I repeat....which is it. 86% or about 86%  |

so what you're saying is it's probably about 86% but you don't know for sure?
As for my use of the BARB figures, did you g=have an answer as to where the RFL got their Darts and Union figures for their press release? |
