RL is looking good on the BBC, don't need a telescope when watching the game unlike the SKY back of the stand angle, also none of the SKY in/out/in/out zoom when someone taking a drive

The empty terraces look shocking though. Shame on the season ticket holders who didn't turn up despite having a free ticket.

I thought the presentation and commentary for the Hull v Leeds game was as good as I've ever seen on the BBC.

Clare Balding, Tanya Arnold, Dave Woods and the camera work were a breath of fresh air after French, Stephenson, Hemmings etc.

I thought French had retired?

He did from The CC Final, but will still cover the earlier rounds.

FFS

Shame

Oy ! The BBC is an equal opportunities employer !! Come on, get with the program. It's either that or being a greeter at Asda

balding was out of order criticising Hudds fans. 4-5k home fans is not so bad for a small club in a building phase.

What building phase?

well they were a small club with 3-4k attendances, theyre now a medium sized club with 6-8k attendances, building. Simples.

What did she say?

I was having a sarky swipe at the Notorious BiGraeme



I think he was suggesting that Ray French is too old for TV (which of course he is).

"Come and get your black bin bags, gay or straight or bender"

I thought the coverage was really good on Saturday afternoon. Prime sporting tv time slot and a much more entertaining match than any soccer or union I saw over the weekend.

Let's hope that people (a) watched it and (b) will watch it again.

I’ve never noticed anything odd with the way sky present the game.

The main camera is miles away from the play, for some reason they seem to think the players are going to kick on every play so they show the whole stadium, you need binoculars to see whats going on.....the beeb had the main camera at a nice distance where you can see what players have the ball.

BBC's coverage has improved a hundredfold in recent years.
Sky's still the best imo but just..
Sorta like the old pro evo/FIFA arguments.. ooooh, you're all too old...
