I believe that if you do it through the club, some of the cost will find it's way into Halifax' coffers.

There is a meeting this afternoon in Brighouse about the RFL's plans for the Championship and the above has been announced.

The coverage sounds like match wise it will be similar to Sky's but with a better build up and editorial focus.

Which will absolutly cripple Championship 1, and to be honest wont do the championship any good either.

Thursday nights are just ridiculous, Clubs needfans to travel to get their fix, not just to get a few tins and stay in.

Were fans invited to the meeting or was it just club officials ?.

The clubs also won't receive a penny from the TV deal. Great deal brokered by the RFL that.

Apparently clubs may get something through getting commission on subscription they sell.

In favour of this or not, there's no chance of subscribing if you are on Virgin Media

It's up their site if go here http://www.premiersports.tv/ and click on 'Rugby' on the left hand side. The only other day they could put it on is a Sunday because they won't want it up against Super League. But with a lot of people at matches on a Sunday I can't see that happening either.

AAAAArgh, just when I thought I would be able to get some RL fix next season with no SKY and not even any SL, I find out its not on Virgin Media which is what I am on.
Is there no way it will be at all?
