Re: FAX ON TV : Wed Aug 03, 2011 2:45 pm  

Do the RFL think that all Rugby League supporters are as disorganised as themselves?? 2 Weeks notice is ridiculous, these fixtures were published 6 months ago, and naturally people have made plans for the weekend.

After a trip to Toulouse, York is the most attractive prospect of a weekend activity for an away fixture.

I live and work in York, based the with the Army, had booked a room in our Warrant Officers Mess for a few friends to come over and enjoy a night out then go to the game. All pointless now. And to top it off, I'm away on a course all that week and not back till the Friday night!! So will miss the game.

Thank you very much RFL and SKY TV!!!

Re: FAX ON TV : Wed Aug 03, 2011 2:49 pm  

I was also looking forward to this game!

as soon as the fistures were released, like most fans who travel away, we ear marked this as a 'day trip out'

2 weeks notice is daft! and as for James do that night aswell i feel sorry for him and the organisers!

Viewing figures probably. Fax play entertaining Rugby + York & Halifax have large populations if you include Sowerby Bridge, Greetland, Elland etc.

Leigh is a small town in Wigan MBC same size as Dewsbury & Batley.
Featherstone is a street in Normanton with a similar population as Elland (wiki'd it)
Barrow has dodgy floodlights & is a logistical problem for Sky.
Toulouse is a no-go for Sky.
[b]Batley & Dewsbury made up of swathes of council estates & slum terrace housing (ie. No Sky Sports TV in most homes!)
Hunslet a suburb of Leeds[/b]
Sheffield a football city.
Widnes SL next year.

So it would make sense Fax v Widnes & York v Fax will attract the most viewing figures & higher viewing figures are more favorable to TV advertisers.

I bet youre one of the ones who wonder why so many supporters from Batley and Dewsbury despise Halifax so much, me personally i like Halifax but could soon change my opinion based on great dude comments like that.

Strange Jeff, I've lived in Batley all my life and I can't for the life in me think where the 'slum' terrace houses you refer to are? There are terrace house, granted, but I can't think where these 'slums' are?!
Perhaps you're a just geographically challenged jerk-off and are mistaking Batley and Dewsbury for Mixenden and Ovenden respectively?

Apologies, was just responding in the heat of the moment.
There's a guy who attends the gym I go to who owned a convenience shop in Ovenden for years - little bald headed, moustacheoed geezer called Tim. Id say he's about 60. A right character. Ever come across him?
