This news is obvisouly great, but it does highlight some massive shortfallings elsewhere in our sport, mainly the sponsorship problem.
If SL and RL is so well received by the viewing public, why have we had problems securing sponsors and why are the sponsorship deals generally lower than those at our nearest sporting comparison?
Also, if the TV audience does so well, and the World cup was so well attended, why are we struggling to get crowds through the gates at many clubs?

| Quote William Eve="William Eve"Given the absence of a comparative Super League attendance thread on this forum in 2014, it's fantastic news that it is to be replaced by a SL TV audience thread oozing in weekly positivity. I am confident that such a thread shall prove attractive to all those who found it emotionally difficult to cope with the prospect of another SL attendance thread

Bitter much? You could always spit your dummy out and vow never to return (again)
Maybe all this positivity is a direct result of the WC Legacy you were so proudly ridiculing barely 2 weeks after the tournament ended.

It is also fantastic news that the RFL are back in business again reporting the news on TV audiences for SL. It is to be hoped they are also back in business reporting news on SL attendances this season because they were conspicuous by their absence last year.

What sport anywhere in the world makes announcements when attendance figures drop? |

I take your point re RU being over 4 years. Still a better deal than RL despite the later being a more popular on tv. I guess RU have learned that it helps to speak to more than on tv company. When the RFL get a CEO /board who understand this principle our game will be better served.'"
Eh?
Union TV deal = £152m for 4 years = £38m per year
League TV deal = £200m for 5 years = £40m per year
How is the Union one a better deal? |

Doesn't the SL deal also include the Challenge Cup and all internationals after 2017? |

It apparently includes some Challenge Cup games and internationals, as did the previous tv deal, whether it's all of them I've no idea.
What does the Union TV deal include, William? |

Or you could do it the Gutterfax and AP way by taking just one of the figures and then dividing it by 4. Since some tv viewers will have watched more than one game! |

Which Challenge Cup games and internationals are not being shown on Sky from 2017 onwards?
Quote Him="Him"What does the Union TV deal include, William?'"
No idea... enlighten me.
Does it include all other RU cup competitions and internationals?
Has terrestrial TV been shut out, as is the case with RL? |

Has anyone explained yet how the RFL's TV audience figure of 353,000 for last weeks game is only 38% higher than last years opening televised SL fixture which was 188,000 according to the BARB figures?

Not really sure what your point is, are you insinuating the RFL are making up the 353,000 or that someone in the press office made a mistake working out a percentage? |

Try dropping an email to the RFL press office and see if they can explain it, as this might give the answer, alternatively we can continue to debate without ever actually uncovering anything like the truth. |
