Without Sky there is no Rugby League...fact!



Its not ideal but they want to show more games on a Thursday and Friday, they do only really suit those living close enough i agree, but what can the club do, there will be some that moan when we are not on TV. Every game on a Sunday also wont please everyone. It must be a nightmare to try and sort, and take every other team and player welfare into account. Seems to be a very big ME ME ME scenerio going on. I cant say i love all the night games, ill struggle to get to them all, but ill do my best. I am not bigger than the club.

Football fans would laugh at some of the comments. They travel the country far and wide midweek to support their club.

Where are the moderators when you need them on here?



Referring to football fans in a positive way in whatever context on here surely contravenes all forum rules.

Your right 55 Carlisle fans traveling down to Exeter on a Tuesday night puts it into perspective that's dedication for you and makes rugby fans moaning sound a bit silly

& 55 is what percentage of their support? Our chairman has said we need to get to the 10,000 average to really kick on & considering in our pomp in the 80's we averaged 9000 (except for the odd big game) if we loose just a small percentage of our existing fans with late night kick off's it will take an awfull lot of effort to get near 10k. There will always be fanatics who would sell their grandmother to get to a game but the vast majority of us do have a normal life outside the game & other commitments, they are the people who make or break the club. For me personaly it's been a soul searching time but night time matches are not for me, I will try to get to the odd game but there is not much choice now.

I have some relatives that have little ones that they like to take to home games but these night matches really put a damper on it for them. They normally get season passes for the kids as well but are having a really hard think on it.



Doesn't help for family's being out late that have school Friday and rugby/football Saturday mornings.

The only solution is for everyone to sell their soul to the Devil that is Murdoch.

I have done and its not Murdoch now might be in the future you never know and they may have a channel about Geese just for you

OK that's 39% of your soul sold.

Seeing as we are held to ransom for RL by sky, i feel obligated to let you know, if you like your sports, you really don't have to pay the extortionate prices sky charge.

I get the full package, what they charge somewhere around £75 for , family package with sports and movies for £33.45 a month(mine is 60% off). Most people i know don't pay full price for sky, i haven't for 3yrs now, it's easy to get a 50% reduction straight away on any package and if you're willing to stick it out you can get better. I know people on better deals than me.

I have a FRIEND who get everything for £20 a year
