and yet they continue to show obscure rugby union games that hardly anyone watches... it stinks.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

I think you've answered your own question there. I paid Sky top dollar for years, now I pay premier sports for a year the amount Sky used to fleece me of a month, and for that I get eight quality games a week not Sky's miserable two. not to mention the up and coming Auckland 9's this weekend, the Indigenous game, City 'v' Country the Anzac test Footy show Backchat, highlights programme if you've not had enough, premier player, all in HD now, and ow yeah that tiny series they have SoO !!!

Fans of minority sport upset at being treated like a minority sport shocker.

Sky Sports IS football. Always has been. RL was a handy little space filler in the summer months, but the growth of interest in T20 cricket means Sky really don't need it any more. They could put live T20 games on Thursday and Friday nights instead to fill the space.

RL needs Sky a hell of a lot more than Sky needs RL. Sad, but that's the way it is.

Always does my head in when you turn on Sky Sports News after a match to see if there is any mention of the result or maybe even some highlights (god forbid) only to find they are too busy reporting something about a football player's personal life or reading out a tweet from Joe Bloggs like it's even news :WALL:

And the RFL sold their sole to this broadcasting organisation until the next decade a little over a year ago... What incompetent numpties run this greatest game!

I've got a Premier Sports on-line package too, and agree it's great value. I wouldn't give Sky a penny out of conviction anyway, but I'm reasonably happy to make do with a combination of attending some games live, watching down the pub, and dodgy internet to fulfill my ESL needs.

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

Boots N All was terrible, I don't know anyone who watched it. Same goes for shockingly poor Backchat and the idiot that is Rod Studd.

If I remember rightly, someone posted some stats on Twitter that showed Sky broadcast something like 30 more live games last year than they did in 2013. That figure didn't include the Xtra games either so it's not quite as black & white as some on here are trying to suggest.

Are they not showing some Championship games this season? I'm sure it was mentioned last year.

Re: Sky season preview ? : Tue Feb 02, 2016 3:36 pm  
I cancelled everything from SKY last August and with the £90 per month I saved I've bought a new car. I can see the games I'm interested in in other ways so I don't miss it at all. When I cancelled I told them it was because of the reduced coverage, poor production and their obvious lack of value of Rugby League.
