Super League start : Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:04 pm  

Anyone else blown away by the fanfare surrounding the new Super League season????

Re: Super League start : Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:35 pm  

Yeah the massive build up has left me staggered

Re: Super League start : Tue Jan 21, 2020 8:13 am  

Please tell me this is sarcasm, because honestly other than a few tweets on twitter I have basically seen nothing about it.

I'm sure each of our local sides will have a two minute slot each night next week on Granada reports.

Re: Super League start : Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:25 pm  

9 days until the start of the competition and there's no build up, not adverts, no news coverage there's not even a fantasy league set up... Makes you wonder what all the SL executives taking a wage actually do..

Sky couldn't give a toss, they don't even feature us in their 'summer of sport' montages.

It will be interesting to see how many times SL appears on the Main Event channel.
Premier League darts will start in a few weeks, and that's usurped SL on a Thursday.
Friday's is football to the end of May, then you'll have US golf, tennis s etc,

My guess is not very many

It's odd as normally you could not accuse Sky of being poor at promoting their content. Maybe they just have higher priority sports and are reacting to their audience. ie) The darts must bring in more eyeballs than Super League.

I've not picked my membership up from the club shop yet, i'm fairly un-enthused.

I don't live in town, so it's a genuine question :

How much promo has the club done to make people of Warrington enthused about the new season (aside from a sponsorship photoshoot and a few training shots in the WG)?

I assume the OP is underwhelmed with Sky TV , but has the club really marketed the Wigan game that well ?
