Quote Riderofthepalehorse="Riderofthepalehorse"I think the travelling fans of rugby league are against these mad Thursday fixtures, Sky do not seem to care about supporters logistical problems, empty grounds, disheartened supporters, no problem as long as the Sky subscribers keep forking out.'"
So Thursday fixtures broaden the wider television viewing audience on a night where RL does not compete with any other main stream sporting event.
Sky money has kept the game we love sustainable and enabled it on the whole to go full time in the summer era.
Isn't free or subsidised travel for away fans also offered?
But you're right Sky doesn't care.
Hate to think where our game would be if these subscribers didn't fork out showing interest and support for our sport.
I subscribe to Sky sports for the rugby alone.
Why not try looking at the broader spectrum before jumping to narrow minded conclusions.
