For 2days dividend by 12 clubs = less than. £3.400.
I’m sure the 12 clubs between them, can muster say 100,000 viewers paying £10. =£1,000,000. For the good of the game, divided equally that’s over £83,000 per club.
I’m sure some on this forum will be able to pick large holes in this idea, but it’s just an idea to start a discussion, perhaps it’s just rubbish, perhaps it can be developed into something that could work. My opening post weeks ago on this thread has since been suggested by others involved in the our sport. We all need to work together for our rugby league sport to survive.

Thank you

This probably wouldn't be possible but, if the games were all played at one venue (Magic Weekend style) behind closed doors, streaming costs, surely, would be far lower and Sky could still show all of the games.
Find a central venue and bingo.

If this were twice a week to get over the fixture backlog, then fair enough.

I thought you were a pie man. I’m missing my pre match pie and pint, I think I’m losing weight.

I like the idea, and don't want to be pessimistic but I suspect that the "Big" clubs would challenge the equal sharing of revenue. Realistically we'd be supplying maybe 4 or 5 thousand of those viewers, whereas Leeds/Wigan/Hull might all be supplying double those amount of viewers and so would demand a much larger share of revenue.

I still think this is the right way to do it, and as you say Sky's setup costs are minimised by utilising a single venue so there is more to be made, just don't think it would be as much as you've suggested or that we would command an equal share of it.

Human nature being what it is, as you say greed will kick in and those alleged big clubs will expect more, but surely a bit of something is far better than a lot of nothing, after all if the smaller clubs don't agree then it's all academic anyway.

As far as Sky are concerned, they wouldn't be bothered where the viewers came from and let's face it, EVERY SL club will want their slice of Sky monies so, it's the broadcaster that holds all the cards.
If RL cant find a way of getting the games "on", nobody gets a penny.

Rental of the stadia could cost a fair bit and on that basis, Belle Vue could be the place it's a great playing surface
