What like Warriors?

There's a job as Speaker of the House going for you. You're wasted on a messageboard.

I couldn't possibly comprmise my integrity to that extent

I guess it depends on each circumstance as to wether or not they are a benefit to the clubs. Just one example when Barrows game last year was televised against Batley it resulted in one of our largest crowds of the season. In saying that perhaps the fact that Batley wernt ripping trees up in NL1 and we were going well in NL2 might have had a bearing on that but I feel the appearance of the sky cameras somewhere where they have not been before had a large bearing on that attendance.

Starbug cites Widnes and Leigh not being in line for promotion as the reason the crowd at that televised game was perhaps down on previous years, he could be right. I would imagine its got more to do with Leigh being very stop-start this year more than any other factor, but thats just my opinion.

I have a scientific fact to declare; I had an initial theory, have tried it out in at least two different locations in the town, and by throwing caution to the wind with the budget I observed the theory to be correct on almost every occasion.....

[iThe number of people who leave the pub 5 minutes before a non televised game is greater than the number of people who do not leave said pub for a televised one.[/i

On a similar discussion on the fax board this was quoted




Which would lead you to see this as a positive , except quite a few of those matches have been local derbies Widnes/Leigh , Leigh/Widnes , Fev/Fax , Donny/Eagles which you would expect to be those clubs best attendances

Others such as Fax/Widnes and Haven/Widnes would also be expected to be those clubs biggest ' draws ' so far
