Sy TVs Coverage of the Northern Trains Cup : Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:19 am  

or shoudl I say non coverage.
Is it only me or do you get frustrated by Boots'nall. This is become just a advertisement for what is going to be shown on sky that weekend.
It fails to cover grass roots or indeed tackle anything other than superficial subjects - I dont care what a super league player had for breakfast.
They dont even have the time to show our fixtures
I have been a sky subscriber for many years and remember when boots'nall was a programme worth watching.
The Super League show on the BBC is a much more in depth look at the super league and indeed does not claim to be anything else.
I will now tape the programme and watch the interesting pieces (about 10 mins)

Sky don't give two hoots about grass roots rugby

All they care about are the big 4 and expansionism - but without the grass roots the whole sooper league thing is like a castle built on sand - sooner or later it will all come tumbling down!!

I dont think it will.
Without the teams below S/L SKY money will just go to the teams in S/L.
The big worry is SKY stop paying, then the game really is screwed.

Sky do not give a monkeys about anything that Sky do not cover.
Boots n all is just more bloody adverts on top of the twenty minutes plus worth of adverts that they show on every other sky channel. I'm sick of seeing sofas etc!
