1. Big sponsorship.
2. Sky or even the BBC need to want this to happen and back it and televise it.
3. The club's need to take it seriously.
4. A suitable venue backed by both the owner of the stadium and the local city/boroughs at said venue.
5. Political will from the RFL.

Or
You're actually happy to pay full price but just like anyone else in their right mind would, you took advantage of a cheap deal on offer?
Either way they both sound very familiar to me ![]()
You appear unable to separate two entirely different issues...
1) An unwillingness to pay full price for tickets to attend RL games.
2) An unwillingness to pay full price for subscription TV channels.
In the case of 1) above, any committed, self-respecting fan of the game of RL would surely be prepared to pay full price for admission? In order to benefit the financial health of the game along with the club you support. In your case? Clearly not, as evidenced by your own admission regarding a cultural attachment to the purchase of heavily discounted season tickets along with promo coded £5 tickets for the RLWC.
In the case of 2) above, I've never ever pretended to be a committed, self-respecting fan of Sky or Premier Sports or any other TV subscription service. I don't give a jot about any of them, how healthy their business is, what their turnover is or what their profits/share prices are. I'm not Rupert Murdoch's biggest fan either. If they want my custom, they either deal me a sizeable discount on a subscription package or they lose me completely.
Comprendez?
No?
Thought not.

Careful.
Or you'll spill all those apples and oranges. |

He's been trying to backtrack for 2-3 pages 
Can't wait for him to start slagging SL in the next few weeks as according to him, people who don't go to matches aren't allowed an opinion (see numerous WC/NRL threads). This from the bloke who hasn't been to a SL match in over 3 years (although he will watch it via heavily discounted TV subscription packages). |
