| Quote: scrum "After supporting the Comics for 60 plus years if there's one thing I have learned about this club is don't take all that's said and printed as FACT. Our present owner should be congratulated on the success he has brought to the club that has put the town back on the Rugby League map in the short time he has been in charge. I have never met him and I don't know him but as far as the Rugby Club in concerned he's the best owner we have had for a long long time.
Running late going to miss my train to Newcastle?'"
Good on ya, Scrum, agree with all of the above although you do keep messing with Bongser's head with your climactic question marks (you're doing it deliberately now)?
Don't change at York and catch The Flying Scotsman, pay only for the "Sprinter" from Manc - Magic is in May. Have a beltin' 61+th (?) year.
Up The Comics! ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

How many Leigh fans would not be happy ? In fact how many RL fans would not be happy given that Premier has lost the NRL which is the main draw for subscriptions ?
I certainly would not subscribe to Premier just to watch T.W v Leigh !!!

Premier also put a number of Toronto matches on their other channel Freesports number 95 on ordinary TV hoping they show it on there if not will have to find a pub/club with the pay channel.

They don't receive central funding,so are entitled to create their own broadcasting rights.

Leigh have already been paid for the game to be televised via Sly. Sly have to state how many games they are willing to broadcast in the Championship,even though they own the rights to them all.
We know they will show Summer Bash along with the 8's,so that leaves all other league fixtures vacant. Under EU law,if they are approached by another broadcaster who are willing to fill the vacant fixture,they have to accommodate them.

That certainly is news to me - and with the sound of it a lot more on here
Thanx for that

It also opens a whole new can of worms too
Example:
if they get into S.L. they then can show a live game "away" if SKY were not showing it - Same example yea?

Example
Toronto at home in SL would fall into the same category as Catalans. beIN SPORTS broadcast Catalans home games not Sly.Toronto would be the same with Premier,although I think Premier only have a two year contract with Toronto,this being the final year.
If they reach SL before 2021 then they'll receive central funding,so their away games as with Catalans will be covered by Sly.

Its been the demise of the game hasn’t it! The word “exposure” works in conjunction with the word “expansion”…
Championship clubs have their arm twisted up their back. Take your pocket money and follow the rules. The rules being we pay you pocket money to not give you “exposure” which effectively will not give you any “expansion”…
You can always try and market your games better with the “exposure” we give you and should have major sponsors along with investors queuing at your door.
If all fails we can always expand to North America and you’ll reap the benefits from there in four years time, but until then we will continue to reap benefits for you and give you your pocket money.
