Since Bradford streaming their games our crowds have increased, the viewing figures have been impressive with proper sport. Is it proof it works. No. Isnit worth carrying it on and as a sport for once why don't we work together and try help the sport grow. I want Workington to increase their crowds.
Crowds are plummeting, sky viewing figures are plummeting, participation levels are at an all time low. Lets keep doing what we're always doing now though and hoping for different results.
BTW i thought the tone of our statement was poor. But i believe the decision by Workington to ban the steam is the reason we're a small time sport at the moment.'"
Or dodgy boxes are increasing.  |

Bradford as arrogant as ever.'"
Leigh owner Derek Beaumont didn't want Premier Sports to be able to show Leigh v Toronto. A lot of pubs in Leigh were 'showing the game' and advertising it to the max. In the end, for whatever reason it did get televised, and with a crowd of over 5K it didn't matter in the end. It's Workington's right to refuse live streaming at their ground, and 'fair play' to them. No need for Chalmers to spit his dummy out. Sounded like an exciting game, but what would have Town got out of it, allowing live coverage. A BIG FAT ZERO. |

Not something you say often with your own adopted country's travelling support |

The 'viewing figures' are meaningless - if a video plays for a few seconds on Facebook it's counted as a view. There's no way in this world that the numbers being claimed are anywhere near the numbers who actually watch(ed) the games. |

Worky have done Bradford a favour. Before this spat barely anyone was aware that BB streamed their games - certainly not the purported potential national audience that some are claiming would have tuned in.

Fair play to Bradford for at least trying to show league one games, although a poor stream on the laptop isn't going to do much other than maybe try to entice stay away fans to come back. Though I do think they should ask each club for permission if they haven't done so?

I wonder why all the players are getting released is it by choice or are Toronto getting reddy for super league |

BBC Bristol reporting that Ashton Gate will bid for a World Cup game. To be fair to the team in Bristol they did a great job of promoting the last World Cup game at the Memorial Ground, getting 7k in midweek for an unattractive USA-Cook Islands game put some of the heartlands marketing efforts to shame. Ashton Gate is much bigger and has also recently had 2 new stands.
