Seems unlikely. Hope Sky get it. Much better coverage IMO even with Tweedledum & Tweedledee commentating.'"
I think you're missing the point. Yes, Sky's coverage is better but that is not the only factor. As Grimmy says, the cc needs to be on a free-to-view channel as there are a lot of people who cannot afford Sky let alone the extra a month for Sky Sports. It's going to get less coverage for Joe Bloggs to see and so it's appeal will narrow further and we will lose even more ground to RU.
I guess ITV would be a good substitute just to see how they handle it. They've already got the rights to the Guinness Prem so I wouldn't mind seeing how they get on with RL. As long as they get rid of that Craig Doyle bloke Plus I was starting to like the RL team the bbc had with Claire Balding, Nobby and Dave Woods (that Welsh get Davies can go and take a long walk off a short pier for all i care )

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

For me this is why the challenge cup suffers, people get excited about it and then all of a sudden it's forgotten about because of the large periods between rounds.
Three weeks is about right for gaps between rounds.
Until the RFL shorten the gaps it'll always spoil it for me, it's my number one gripe.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Stupid IMO, nothing wrong with big gaps early on but surely between quarter finals and semis there should be 4 weeks max! 9 is way too many.

Good point I hadn't thought of. Would be a way of getting teams/coaches to stop, in my best Sky jargon, '[ibuilding up to the business end of the season[/i'

Aye, plus I'm sure having the CC final, the SL final and the Internationals all close together must adversely affect attendances.
