Could the people whingng at the financial side of the deal explain the second paragraph, or is it just a defeatist "the rfl will screw us again" attitude. The fact that they've negotiated a long contract shos that they were hapy with how last year went
I doubt they would stick NL1 on a Sunday when you think about it, The football is only off in June and July, which can take up any number of channels, and the cricket season runs parrallel to the NL season; Sky pump stupid money into those sports, and then there are the 2 SL games to take in. I know its not really fair on us but Sky have to make people watch there programmes and get value for their contracts, which is why we will be shifted to Thursday night when there is bugger all else on, and if we argue they just won't show NL games
haven lad 06, I think Dewsbury's attendance when we played there was about twice their Sunday attendances at half price, I'd guess that the extra thousand were more likely to buy burgers, beer(especially on my part, ha), programmes etc. Get it right and you'll make money, regardless of what Sky are paying
