I see Derek has been making comments that the game should leave SKY as the TV deal isn't big enough. His view is if the average TV audience all bought SL+ the game would get more money...which could be true but big problem there is SKY are filming and producing the games (and I dread to think what it would be like if the RFL were in charge, probably film on Sharp camcorder from the 90s :) )

That would be a big gamble for the game, it's not certain that causal viewers would buy the app and the game has a lot of older fans who aren't streamers.

Also when SKY don't show a sport it's dead to them, no mentions on Sports News and we'd lose coverage that way.


I think there is a conversation to be had about it , We definitely need to start hearing something from IMG as we just hear nothing from them all .
I guess deggsys figures are a bit misleading with his £36m from an app . I doubt we'd get anywhere near that figure nor the number of subscribers we'd need to improve the money coming into the game .

They can borrow (i mean lease) mine - it still works and I have blank tapes!!
10k tickets sold for the Wigan game. Decent start but the challenge is of course to lure the 1k-1.5k people who have used the ticket offer to come regularly.

I also suspect a good performance at Catalan would get the turnstiles clicking. I don't blame some for waiting and seeing if we have turned a corner.
So our resident expert's prediction that the derby would be the only five figure attendance of the season falls at the first hurdle.

Hopefully 12k+ there for the Wigan game.

It will get up to 14-15k with those pre sales I would have thought. Barely any Wigan fans will have bought tickets yet.

A heavy defeat to Catalans wouldn't help with that obviously - very tough start for Hull.

I'd say it's only a medium difficulty start, Catalans have several new arrivals to bed in and didn't set the league alight last year either. And some British style cold weather might help us a bit too.
It's a decent offer to see us take on the best team in the league. Just bought a couple of extra tickets for a fiver each.

As Ullfc alluded too, hopefully a promising performance even if we don't win will ensure some of the newbies or fans who have stayed away in recent seasons will want to come again.
