Quote: Riderofthepalehorse "I also love Test cricket, county cricket, one day internationals, and even a bit of T20, but each to his own I suppose, I just find The Hundred a little too gimmicky, and the organisers are gilding th Lilly, a step too far for me.
In a different era in our game, we managed the floodlit trophy, the John Player, the premiership trophy, and still played Rovers twice, no crappy loop fixtures, contrived Magic weekends , good competitions which generated cash and a fervour to watch our game, sorry I’m on the wrong thread, but AP concerns of changing direction regarding private investment should be heeded.'"
I agree we have to change direction but AP apart from Private investment he has mentioned nothing he would do to enhance the game.
I have mentioned before that Sky is a noose round the neck of R/L and all the game does is dance to the tune of Sky.
we need terrestrial TV and if it comes at the expense of Sky and we have to take two steps backwards in TV revenue to build the game nationally then so be it.
Whatever happens we need to get rid of Thursday matches and most Friday matches so that Sunday afternoon once again becomes the day of Rugby League
Sunday games also gives the opportunity to get more families into the stadium and fans from all teams are more likely to travel to away games on a Sunday given they are unlikely to be delayed on the motorways.
