| Quote: pmarrow "I personally feel the millennium magic should host challenge cup fixtures. Say like the quarter finals to eliminate most of the most sided games we are seeing in the challenge cup.
Sell all the games to the BBC and have a huge annual event which could bring in thousands if marketed correctly. IMO it would be worth a try, I just don't like the idea of all teams not equally playing each other twice. Its not fair especially if they use derby games early in the season which does have a knock on effect on the derby games come Easter time.'"
I'd go with that. Good time of year and should be some good games too. Could do the event in one day and offer all sorts of competitions and prizes to those who attend. |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

Great idea, but here lies the problem. The BBC does not have 4 sports channels, that could handle a full two day event, like Sky. It is very unlikely the the BBC would accept this package. If it did, it would probably be on the red button, which means that it wouldn't be seen by many non-RL watchers and sponsors wouldn't like that either. |

But would definitely be an improvement. There's always BBC4 as well. |

Maybe if we actually give them something to show they might start early. |

They could always start the season with 2 triple-headers and let Sky use that instead? Just alternate whose home game it counts as each season. Doesn't have to be derbies as it's already pretty local.
Something like:
Yorkshire TH @ Bramall Lane
Leeds vs Wakey, Hull vs Bradford, Rovers vs Cas
North West TH @ Anfield/Goodison Park
Wigan vs Salford, Saints vs Widnes, Wire vs Hudds
Expansion on-the-road game anywhere
London vs Catalans
Still spreads the game. Still starts with a bang. Doesn't take the derbies away. |

Something like
The problem with that is that no football club will allow 3 RL matches on their pitch in February.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

On a technical note, BBC3 and BBC4 share the same satellite transponders as CBeebies and CBBC, it's just that they use different EPG numbers - which is why they don't start broadcasting until 7 p.m. |

Draw the teams out like a lottery an hour before each kick off.
Creates a bit of suspense and excitement atleast.'"
Sounds good to me, gather in the bars and pubs around Cardiff for a breakfast and the draw live on Sky Sports News. Bottom half of the 2011 table play Sat and the top half Sun. |

Knew there'd be some reason it started at 7! |
