Someone on the terrace says preimer sport will be showing some games next season, who are they?

They're a Sky channel who currently show NRL matches and Student Rugby League.

It just shows that the RFL couldn't care less about what goes on outside Super League, they should be fanatically marketing The Championship to counteract the effects of the franchise system. If we want The Championship to be taken seriously then it needs to be televised. Hopefully someone will take it over and market it properly instead of just shoving it on Sky Sports 8 extra red button channel deep down the list in order to put some naff sport on the main sports channels and forgetting about it, sky never took it seriously.

additional subscription required I believe

Indeed. Tenner a month (I think), though that's no different to ESPN.

Sky and the franchise system will kill our game. I have said it from day one.

Don't like the Thursday night matches so won't miss those and if it means having to pay extra for another package I won't be doing that either ,pay enough as it is ,think Fred will be getting more orders if it happens

I must be in a pretty small minority who isn't just getting used to the Thursday games, but quite enjoying having them and still leaving the weekend free.

Do you know if its on virgin media?.

Cancel Sky sports etc and get this new channel - simples and £40 better off.

It could be a good thing if it is shown on Premier Sports. You never know they may start to sponsor The Championship. I will certainly cancel my Sky Sports and get Premier Sports.

Be good if they helped us to break away from Sooper Dooper League and SKY. I can dream , because SKY and RFL are intentionally killing our teams off.

Thats because you are always on the tv Matt.
