I'd prefer to loan Rachel Riley off Countdown if we're having a stint on C4.

Can't believe nobody's half interested in the financial side of the deal, maybe each club gets a free hollyoaks subscription lol

Whatever Ken Davy has agreed on the deal.
It gives SL more air time which has to be a positive.
Channel 4 has a record of innovation. It would be great
If SL could pioneer a 9s floodlit competition.

It's got to be a better deal than the free pizzas elstone negotiated

It's been muted before and I think it's inevitable it will happen and I would welcome it. It could be RL's version of 20/20 cricket. I'm not a big fan as such as I much prefer the longer game but appreciate that's it been incredibly successful and welcomed a new audience to the game.

What the format will be will take some planning. To alleviate pressure on the players I would scrap the dreaded loop games bin Magic and have a 9s competition mid summer.

Anyway it's a good news day for RL which in recent years is a rarity.

At last! Brilliant news more exposure more potential fans getting interested in the game and hopefully some much needed income as well. I found it hard to see how Sky had agreed to it (which they had to) but perhaps they see any new audience for the game as an in for them in getting more subscriptions, particularly in the way the Channel 4 access is structuted with a taster of the first two rounds then every month. . If that's the case its welcome foresight on their behalf. I'd really like a top notch weekly magazine programme as well. Get John Wilkin involved! Great news though particularly if Channel four do it as well as the do Union and who knows if it takes off then it could help the bidding for the next TV contract.
