| SKY do not give one hoot about the size of the crowd, every SKY Monday crowd will be down on the same fixture last year between the clubs,its a shame as on tv it looks like our game is dying on its feet.Im worried about the size of the crowd at Widnes in a couple of weeks when they play Cas could be below 4k.

Thats bang on, Sky are not interested in RL. They are only interested in SKY and having something to show to folk sat at home, or in the pub on a Monday night.
Of course as a sport we enjoy the cash that they give to us but we are no longer masters of our own destiny, we dance to Mr Murdoch's tune

| I think Monday night sky games will effect crowds to be honest.So no big deal, and i think Huddersfield will lose a few fans due to performances recently.

| Hudds must have a serious PR problem in the town. Big population, good team, good stadium. Desperate crowds really.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

No, we're not masters of our own destiny because we are a regional sport and any additional exposure we get is a GOOD thing.
Monday night football is one of Sky's big crowd pullers. As such, there's good advertising revenue to be made. Between May and Aug, Sky have a gap there due to no football. So the fact they picked RL to go into that slot suggests that, far from Sky NOT being interested in RL, they feel that RL will attract a good number of viewers to keep that Monday night slot profitable.
So here's the thing, if we as a sport are helping Sky make more money, when the contracts come up for renewal next time the sport has an additional bargaining chip to play because the only way the sport will grow is for there to be an increase in the money invested in the game.
And to get back on topic Huddersfield have terrible crowds blah blah blah. It's a disgrace blah, blah, blah.

| slightly off subect
Im fairly sure its not been purposly planed like this but
With England football On FRiday night and this being the normal SL spot for 2 or 3 games a week (at least the big telly game )
Its seems well lets say a lucky stroke with it been the Exiles game this week on Sky on Saturday as I do feel more crowds other than just a Hudds - HKR game on a monday would be effected

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

Actually I think it probably has... people suppose the RFL are a blundering bunch of incompetents but they're really not.

Indeed. When a rugby game clashes with a big soccer game, we get the, 'Why oh why have Red Hall done this?' brigade complaining of incompetence, but when they quite clearly avoid a clash it's because of some sort of accident.

The point is that SKY dont care about clubs getting low crowds at games, as long as they have something to show on their sports channel.
Poor ko times are something we have to put up with, to keep our paymasters happy.

8pm on a Monday night is not a poor kick-off time.
Midweek games were much more common during the 'good old days'.
I can understand Hull KR fans not bothering, no excuses for Huddersfield.

I beg to differ, 8pm on any weekday is not good for travelling to away games, with the exception of Derby matches.
The M62 is horrendous on all evenings of the week and London / Catalan nigh on impossible.
Some people do still have jobs to go to (no excuse for the home fans of course)

Almost, but he said 8 oclock on Monday was not a poor kick off time.
Beraring in mind there is a 50/50 chance of a yorks/ lancs game (or worse still London), then it does become harder for the true fans (those who go to the games), to manage to watch their team.
