So something has obviously changed between what was originally said in our statement on Saturday and now because the full game is up to watch on the proper sport facebook page.

I'm confused, our statement definitely said that even a delayed showing was not allowed?

Perhaps Mick can provide some insight if he reads this?

On the contrary I think it's very good support - how many clubs in this country can claim that half their home support goes to their away games?

None of them. Ever. If it's not trolling, it's total fiction.

In fact I'd be surprised if it was the case for any club in any sport, never mind just RL in this country.

Speaking of said statement, am I being blind or has it been removed from the website?

The "Delete it and pretend it never happened" approach that the media guy uses when he cocks up on Social Media.

I said at the time, did not even a delayed run of the game refer more to say a 6pm showing on Sunday ala cc games?

Re: Live streaming Workington : Tue Apr 10, 2018 3:44 pm  

Could it maybe a way of the club trialling whether there is an audience for a paid subscription of it. They must know the level we are at and the seemingly limited streaming resources proper sports have for now (due to pixelation etc it has been difficult to make out on a couple of the stream) no one would pay for the service for the quality it currently streams at. But if they could guarantee improved quality next season for a monthly subscription price would the money it could produce be worth it?

Unfortunately using Facebook is no way of telling if there is specific interest in a Bulls Tv subscription per say, as many people may tune in as supporters of any club who want to see a bit of rugby on a sunday afternoon.

The idea behind the live stream seems, IMO, to get eyes on the Bulls and trying to get people back watching the club.

There's a lot of lapsed fans out there and a lot of it stems from the question of entertainment vs cash out lay. It's no secret that we've hardly been the most entertaining of sides for many years so getting people to watch the club online for free and that will hopefully translate to those people wanting to pay out to watch the game in person

Well said. Can this thread be locked?

Why? People are having a discussion on the pros and cons of streaming. Just because you don't like the subject, it should be locked and we should move on to... what? Another discussion on which player to pick this week? It's a topic worth discussing and people on both sides of the opinion have made some good and valid points.

I agree. This topic is more valid than a lot of others. This debate is good. No one has insulted anyone else like the majority of the virtual terrace I don’t see a reason it should be locked. It has even stayed on topic ha!
