Thankfully I'd guess that "Fishtank" (who wrote the small blog) has no influence. He might know a bit about Haigh's Pies & Peas though and obviously supports the "Pink Weekend". 

Wires71: I used to like signing the Warrington usual chants against Widnes or Wigan at Wilderspool with the atmosphere building, then the hairs on the back of my neck would stand up when they played this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0 The smell of wintergreen would surround all of us, dizzying. Someone booting the corrugated steel at the back of of the Fletcher Street, tension palpable, nerves, excitement, the waft of embassy fags, the kick off and the first crunching tackle.  Could not stop laughing when I played that just now, my god that took me back, am I weird in thinking it’s better than most the crap they play now. Or is it just my age showing lol.

The best way we could get coverage for rugby league would be on a free to view channel ,sky is doing the game no favours . For too long sky has used rugby league as a shelf filler while taking it away from the casual viewer & has made RL dependent on sky tv.

Agreed, but the motive here is to develop revenue from TV rights licensing, not eyeballs on screens for free. Competition, as mooted, from Amazon Prime or DAZN would help put some pressure on Sky to pay a fair fee for licensing rights - or lose out. To be honest the whole thing with Sky is stale, it needs a revamp. 

100% it needs a revamp, it?s tired it?s old and needs to move forward. Being honest the only one I would keep from current crop is Carney and when he finally retires Tomkins I do like listening to him. All the others are garbage. Also I would prefer it to stay on Sky as I do watch other sports(not football) and don?tfancy paying for another sub just for rugby, but hey ho let?s see what happens.

Free to view well the BBC are doing a great job NOT. Childish graphics that have not changed for years and now Sharon Shortle, no thanks.
