Today sky have confirmed they have bought the rates to the two twelves structure from 2015
This season is vital if we ever wish to play SL in my lifetime imo
Time for the big Leyther family to really get behind this club and live the dream again
My dad told me this would happen

So does that mean 24 clubs are now involved in the SKY money carve up?

Damn - I might have to finally buy a Sky package!

Word on street seems to be £200m over 5 years

£200,000,000 is what's on total RL site

3.3 mil for top leagues SL team s each per season lol

Well with 40 million a season I would expect SL and Championship to get substantial increases per season from 2017.

I don't think it mentions how much SKY are paying in any reports I have read so where these figures come from is anyone's guess surely?

It's not the total amount invested by SKY that's important to us. It's how it's distributed that counts.

Agreed because 200 mill over 5 years shared by 2x 12 is 1.6 mill but thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to simple , you can bet the small print is interesting

If you think we will get same in the second tier as the first you'll be very wrong no way will the greedy SL chairman allow that !!!!

SL is what they pay for and it's right they get the majority, the challenge is for the next tier to up their game and create that pressure on the elite to remain elite
No more little Leyther mentality lets go for it big time

There will be no Championships coverage on TV (Premier Sports) in 2014.

Correct.

It's not for us to be stuck in old ways criticising and being bitter and short sighted, it's up to us to get our own house in order like we have done and demand a piece of the action and that is what we intend to do!!!!

If what the club is doing, new League structure and increased funds doesn't re ignite the passion from the lapsed fans then i don't know what will.

Onwards and upwards!!

Timing is everything and it looks as if the BOM have got their timing right with their investment and plans!

There are few rugby league clubs in the UK with the momentum that we now have and professional people at the helm who are making things happen.

Exciting times!

It goes without saying that all wont get the same amount of cash, i was using the two 12s to put the money invested into perspective because 200 million sounds an enormous amount of money. What money do Sl clubs receive from Sky atm ?

I think the current deal was £121m for 5 years.

Big figures again being banded about but from where everything I have read today says no amount has been mentioned by SKY RFL or SLE.

Where have you picked that one up from, L-t-d?

Same with the other five deals announced by Sky today. Why tell their competitors what they are paying?

It's true Alan been announced today.

Not sure what I make of it, happy in some respects from our Point of view it's a bonus as we can plan fixtures for the full season now and also no silly midweek trips or games. From the Championship point of view less coverage but only for 12 months then back on Sky!!M

Slowcoach, there are plenty of sites on th'internet where you can watch SKY Sports for free. Much better to invest in an IMAC for better viewing quality than to pay subscription fees to SKY.
