In comparison to last years Sky viewing figures (which incidentally were very poor and well down on previous seasons), this season they are even worse.
Currently 33% down on last season up to the beginning of March thus far.
None of that will rate a mention on the RFL website or in any of the Moonie RL websites or publications.
That's a worrying stat, I'd be interested to understand the context,namely:
- when did thursday/Monday games come in and what do viewing figures for these slots look like compared to the slot(s) they replaced? (ie is there an underlying issue akin to the nonsensical comparison of attendances at games played on a Thursday night to games played on a Sunday that I often see in here)
- what are the like for like Friday v Friday comparisons like?
On the face of it the TV figures for last year are worrying.
