Sky Money 2021
The effects of Covid 19 and Sky reputedly reducing the amounts clubs will receive in 2021 by £280,000 will no doubt impact on retention and recruitment.
It could also mean those players who think they have what it takes to play in the NRL an increased incentive to try their luck.
It will no doubt impact on antipodeans looking for an easy buck in Super League.

Easily covered by the £16m government loan. Unless the RFL are going to centralise the money.

Re: Sky Money 2021
Sky money is income.
Loans have to be repaid.
I haven't seen the terms and conditions but it's not free money.
The loan also specified it was not for salaries.
I tealise the monies can be accounted to show whatever.
I know if l had a business facing an uncertain future as there are no guarantees the crowds will return in the same numbers and a know drop in income it would be a concern.

Re: Sky Money 2021
I thought once you negotiate a contract that was it
Wasn't there some kind of insurance taken out before every season if there was a point in the contract that said money had to be paid back if games for whatever reason can't be shown on Sky

Re: Sky Money 2021
Any such insurance policy would need to be very explicit to cover a pandemic, even then some companies who have such policies are experiencing difficulties as the government has said that games cannot be played.
Regardless the hit to clubs finances will be massive.
Even when games resume with crowds there may be some who may be reluctant to put themselves at risk.
It is likely that the effects will be felt for a long while.

Re: Sky Money 2021
I don’t understand why Sky can’t show the same number of games,
They could easily show three or even four games on the same day. If they televised a game on Thursday night and one on Friday night (as per normal), they would only need to cover another four games. Two on Saturday and two on Sunday would seem sensible enough. Catch up on the games missed by showing every game for the rest of the year. I think it would increase their number of customers, too.

Re: Sky Money 2021
Totally agree Notts, if SKY don't show the fixtures how will anybody get to see them whilst playing in empty stadiums. It would make sense to to play all the fixtures at say Headingley , play thursday, friday . 2 sat and 2 sun and all the cameras are set up to cover all the games keeping coverage costs down.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑20 Jun 2020, 08:53I don’t understand why Sky can’t show the same number of games,

SKY get their quota of games and more and the clubs get the money.

Re: Sky Money 2021
What ever. Scenario you come up with the clubs are facing a massive financial challenge as are many other businesses.
Clubs playing to empty stadiums no match day income.
Reduced merchandising, less Sky money and prior to this many clubs ran at a loss.
The money for overseas players and marquee contracts will be a challenging equation.

i notice lenagan has said he's managed to stave off a crisis at wigan by putting in £500.000 of his own money in. but he said this time it had been a struggle to find it.casjunction wrote: ↑21 Jun 2020, 09:14 What ever.

Re: Sky Money 2021
Elstone on the BBC rugby page saying theve come to a agreement with sky I presume he means the shortfall of over 250k for each club
Then goes on to say it's a agreement that will help secure the future of the sport not sure I get what he means by that

Re: Sky Money 2021
As things stand, I'm still puzzled why there's been a need to renegotiate this years agreement?
Yes, there's been no SL since lockdown began but as I understand it, they still want to complete a full season. If so, the same number of games are available to Sky to broadcast surely?
If they choose to show less because of other commitments, like the Premiership, that's their choice so tuff.

Re: Sky Money 2021
Absolutely you hardly hear anything from Elstone then he comes out with words that explain nothing
It would be nice to here what Sl the RL have in mind and explain why desicions are being made and what they mean to clubs and the sport

Re: Sky Money 2021
