I've been to Odsal many times, and it's not great for watching a game of RL (no cover and little atmosphere as a result). £25 entrance would break the camel's back in terms of me going to Odsal next season.

This is correct, and the rule is enforced. Two seasons ago a Toulouse supporter started streaming games on Periscope and it was nipped in the bud when the RFL found out. Fev have asked if they can show the Touluse away game live in the past and have been turned down.

I think pre-season games are still allowed, though if Bradford do that they need to make sure the fans realise it's not going to continue into the regular season.

Championship games will be streamed next year. More details as to what, where, when and how will be announced shortly.

That's a little broad brush though Mick? I mean, I know you clearly can't give away confidential stuff but "Championship games will be streamed", doesn't really mean very much in itself. That statement could equally mean just one, unspecified, game per weekend right up to, and including, all Bulls' games will be shown...

Any chance you'll be going into politics

Heres my thoughts on a flex ticket for any club, first you must categorize matches otherwise the 6 will be TO, TW, FEV, Widnes, Leigh and Fax. Cnt see them being used for Swinton, Rochdale, Sheffield and Barrow. Middle ground will be Batley, Dewsbury, York. Say 3 x Cat1 and 3 from rest?? Hope we, Leigh have that option

I can, sort of, see the logic but unless you're going to have a full, category A,B and C for all fans, including walk-ups then I don't think it will work, or be fair. If all games are the same price and capacity is not an issue, then it makes little difference to the club which games they are used for, to be honest.


Speaking personally, if some fans don't want to see certain games then it's down to them and from my perspective it's they who are missing out and it doesn't affect me or the club.

I agree with Bulliac

Speaking personally, the issue isn't wanting only to watch certain 'better' games. It is simply not being available to attend quite a few games, regardless of the opposition.
