Quote: Roofs "No I honestly just don't feel that Crusaders in SL makes/will make a significant difference to the number of Sky subscriptions in Wales. £40-£60 for a Sky subscription is a lot of cash, so when Crusaders are on Sky away from home, I would guess more people would be likely to watch it in their local (which might cost a tenner for a few beers) compared to a monthly subscription, just my opinion though.

Re London I feel the same - maybe with football and RU it might be the case, but for Quins in SL I just doubt it makes much difference.'"


You flipping tool.
Either read up on the post you're talking about or don't bother.
this FACT has been established over the last week, go and do some reading, Sky want the Crusaders in and have basically bent the RFL over and done them up the rear.

Quote: Starbug "I disagree , they need at least a million a year , but i'd still give it them'"


But be upfront about it! Same as putting them in SL! If they were honest and upfront I'd respect them but the constant rule bending and inaccurate press releases in things is a disgrace IMO!

It is far from being a FACT. It is an assertion made in a local paper. It is not outside the realms of possibility that it is completely wrong.

Quote: dally messenger "theres a quote by a vic wakeling who said that very thing. having a welsh SL side was apparently very attractive to sky.

maybe when you get a job working as head of sports for sky you can just ignore wales.

until then ....'"


I strongly suspect that you have greatly distorted what he said. I would be very surprised if he did say anything along the lines of "Crusaders add value to the TV contract".

Prepare for legal challenges in 2012 from either a team that loses it's SL place or a team denied a spot.

You cant.
Get over it.
They can try but they would lose their RFL membership.
Enjoy visiting Barla grounds from then on.

Lastly on what grounds you tool

Roofs there are "village politics and National politics"-Stick to baking cakes for the village hall.
Your views appear very simplistic! Keep sweeping the roads leave the decisions to those with a brain.

the comment was made 10 years ago well before the crusaders were thought of

he basically said they werent very interested in a french club because sky cant sell more dishes there but a welsh sl club would be a welcome addition to SL.

clubs all signed onto the current regime so i doubt they can mount a legal challenge

and secondly wakey cant afford to pay their taxes on time, where are they going to find the funds to mount a costly legal challenge

"Welcome addition" doesn't imply that they are prepared to increase the funding.

Signing a disclaimer doesnt waive your legal rights.
But you try ever, and i mean ever playing any form of professional rugby in the town this challenge comes from. Well, the locals might as well take up union

They could if there are grounds for thinking that the RFL haven't followed the criteria that the clubs agreed to.

If your relying on a trip to your local pub to watching rugby league here in Wales, best check that there isn't any football games being televised, any league at all or a union games on or you'll be going home disappointed to watch it on your own television!

On the grounds that the process is supposed to be fair and transparent. On the basis that people's livelihoods are at stake on the whim decision of a few weighed with an agenda.

Surely we all would acknowledge that it would be unfair for Castleford and Wakefield to be removed whilst a club that has failed in each of the last two seasons is granted yet another stay of execution.
