Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
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.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

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. |

Gateshead were shown at least twice last season and London once. If South Wales stay at the top of the table there is a good chance one of their games will be shown live later in the season.

I know. Gateshead were shown the previous season when they were promoted. Sky do show non heartland clubs when the games are worth showing. |
