Don't like to sound like a conspiracy theorist but cup holders and not even on telly is a joke, coupled with how little we're on Sky this season it beggars belief. What's going on? Do the SMC make it unnecessarily difficult for broadcasters or are Hull just hated by those that pull the strings?

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:13 pm  

I'm fairly pleased we are not on TV in this case as I hate it when its a home game. All it would mean is a smaller crowd and a match lasting 15 minutes longer thanks to interminable replays of video ref decisions.

Don't mind away games being on though, especially when I can't make them.

I'm more than happy to not be on Sky!

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:27 pm  

The TV people don't seem to like us, but this is good that we are not on TV as should mean a bigger gate, I would have played it on the Saturday afternoon though.

Well all four Cup games last year were live on TV (one of them on Sky). In total 23 out of 35 gmes were live on TV last season. Plenty of games toward the end of the season when we'll be on so no issue really.
