| Not sure I'd go as far as a tenner on top of my £92 a month for sky but I'd def pay a fiver a month for it. I work a 5 week shift pattern on days afternoons and nights so I miss quite a few games unless they are on TV.
Who'd have thought it? Hull KR leading the way.... Blimey!!

| Although a season ticket holder I do miss more than two away games a year.
The £35 would be that, plus including the U18s & 20s would mean I'd see games and players I never watch.
At £35, yes I'd pay for it.

| Its a great idea and I would love us to do it.
Liverpool's version, LFCTV is brilliant, shows classic games, highlights from every game of the season and every reserve and under 18s game.

| I would pay it. Most up to date TV's can get the internet now, so would be no need for linking laptop up.

| Living 250 miles away from Wigan, I only get to see the boys away (including Wembley this year). I miss the Under 20s matches and have to rely on RLfans for comments on the next quota coming along. Of course, my attendance money (other than Wembley) goes straight in the pockets of the away team, rather than Wigan. I decided to cancel my Sky due to the £240 a year to watch a maximum of a dozen Wigan matches a season. Moreover, I was able to watch every match of every round of the NRL last season, but cant get to see my own team. £35 is very cheap price to pay to watch a Wigan dedicated channel, for Live (or recorded matches), under 20s and videos of matches from past seasons I would gladly subscribe and would be willing to dig deeper in my pockets. Dare I say it, but if costs are an issue, a joint venture with those soft footballers would grudgingly be welcome.

| Yes £35 would be money well spent. Even attending games one misses so much of the game when reviewed later.

| Eon Media are the one's that have taken HKR by the scruff of the neck and thrust them in to the media world of Football. The benefits as already highlighted are greater revenue from the sales, sponsorship and marketing.
The person (the only person on these 4 pages) who didn't think it was a good idea, have you even looked at the product? There are still things for non-members to watch such as interviews with players or the coach. Before each game they announce the squad before the rest of the press get the chance and basically any big news stories can get extra sponsorship and people tune in to see it first!
The website is completely different too, while heavily advertising the HKRtv it still has the news from the club and you deffinately do not have to be a member.
For a club like Wigan you are looking at less than a £ per first team game, add the 18's and 20's to that and you're talking nearly 30p per game of rugby with interviews, fun and games with the players, announcements, games from years gone by...etc
Whether this is a first year thing while they dip their toe in the water or a regular price I have to say breaking it down into price per content it is very very cheap.
What I think they do need to do is charge for the game on a weekly basis. Away fans that can't make the game but do want to watch the 80mins could surely get a temporary pass and I think they would appreciate the chance. When you think it is a minimum of £50 per adult to go to an away game (ticket £20, Fuel £20 (based on two in a car going from Hull to Wigan) food & drink £5, parking £5ish) you have to say even charging £10 or the price of one adult ticket would be a pretty good saving!

| I think you may find that it would affect attendance figures, i mean why pay £18 per week when u can pay £35 and watch the entire seasons matches, its just my opinion.

Firstly you will never beat the atmosphere of a live game and witnessing great rugby in person is so much better than watching it on TV. Secondly the games are aired mid week, I don't know about you but I couldn't avoid a Wigan scoreline for 4/5 days.

| Bloody right I'd pay for it. I live in New Zealand now so I only get to watch the odd game shown on sky unless I'm back home for a visit. I'd pay for it right this second if it was available.

| It would be a great idea. I'd love to see Warrington to do something similar. £35 is a very decent price as well.

| Someone should drop a cheeky email to the club and point them in the direction of this thread. It is such a good idea! Also, has there been anymore news about the iPhone app?

The club got emailed the question by a member of our focus group simply because of your post. This was the response.

Hi Tracey,
Thanks for that, it is a good idea. I shall have a word with the guys who produce HKR TV and see if we can arrange a pay per view facility.
Thanks very much

As usual I don't really have one. Was just saying to the above poster that not everyone would want to avoid the score for 3 days. Some would quite happily wait 3 days to watch it as opposed to going.

| I don't think anyone has seriously suggested avoiding the scoreline for a few days until the footage reaches the website!? People will still want to watch the games even if they already know the score.
