Slight side issue, but it was interesting to see that for the first time in a few years we kept our game against Leeds on a Sunday, rather than accomodate them with a Friday night fixture in line with their preference of home game. The result was a significantly higher attendance than last year and the latter our two fixtures of 2008. It certainly seemed like the Leeds fans came out in much bigger numbers for the Sunday game.

should the rfl push for a live game on sunday? i think this would give blanket tv coverage for the whole weekend = more TV money in the long run?

Sky+ it. You can fast forward the adverts and 'Elbows and Knees' Cullen when he's on at half time.

What about a late Tea Time Sunday Sky televised game? A 6pm ko?

Done years ago, may work.

At the end of the day, the Crusaders viewing figures was 350,000, much much higher than regular and i'd be willing to give this idea a try

Don't have Sky. I have a Telly Freeview Box 7 pvr. I watch plenty of Live Sky games but always at the Pub/Club or Gym . I am also a season ticket holder at York and regularly watch Leeds Rhino's.

Have none of em, just a TV Freeview Box and PVR. Always watch Sky Live games at the Pub/Club or Gym.

sounds good. especially during soccer season, a game following straight after suer sunday on Sky sports 1 could get a fairly larrge audience potentially

werent crowds really compromised last time?

I cant remember why they switched to saturday

And I don't spend my money on any of those because I'm at home with the family so we have Sky. In fact it strikes me that you have a lot of free time but want to dictate when you want to watch your rugby. You can't please everyone.

Also we had 3 other Friday night games up against the live Sky game last week, why do Sky put up with it, and more to the point why don't the RFL realise they are knocking up to 30,000 off their own viewing figuers, the very viewing figuers that will help determine the next Sky deal for RL. Doh!!!

So are you seriously trying to tell me that when Sky have a live Super Sunday game on at 4pm there is never any other game taking in place in the Premier League at the same time?



Or that when Sky televise Pro40 or T20 cricket, that's the only game being played anywhere in the country on that day?



You need to have a rethink about your original point that only the RFL would allow this to happen IMO.
