does anyone know when do we get our sky money and how much,

it must be soon, or has that disappeared too.

It's something that comes through on a monthly basis throughout the year, so no we haven't used it all up but at the same time it's not going to "save" the club over the next weeks or so.

It will be interesting to see how money sky lose through cancelled SKY SPORTS subscriptions if the RFL keep cherry picking who's in SL, and alienating seasoned rugby league supporters.

I know a few that will cancel although some just threaten to cancel to cash in on cheap sky offers.

I don't think that the proportion of people who subscribe JUST for SL coverage would be anywhere near big enough to cause Sky any concern at all.

If/when we go down I will be cancelling for a start.

You won't want to watch Trinity's televised Championship games? (assuming you don't get a licence in this year's round)

I watch enough other stuff to justify the cost and I enjoy watching rugby league even if Wakefield aren't on - I'd likely be there anyway!

Suspect it won't cause Sky any concern, same as it won't cause RFL any concern. For example, a 5,000 average is achievable for Crusaders this year. We will lose a two or three thousand if we go down. I make that rugby league in profit by a couple of thousand people than would be the case if Crusaders weren't there. Similarly with Sky. You might lose a few heartland supporters, but you pick up new ones elsewhere, and probably in greater numbers than you lose.

The thing is that if those sky subscribers and pub rugby watchers went to the games instead of watching on t.v then many of the clubs financial problems would not exist.

This may come as a shock, old bean, but there are more teams out there than Wigan, and so people are able to pay to watch their team and then watch other teams on the telly.

Many fans actually prefer to watch ' live '

Not enough though,otherwise this thread wouldnt exist.
