Petition against BSKYB cancelling of NRL coverage on SKY SPORTS
Sign Now
We, the undersigned intend to cancel our SKY subscriptions due to SKY's decision to cancel their coverage of NRL (National Rugby League) games when their current contract expires. This has been a part of SKY's portfolio for many years now.
We feel that the diminishing amount of Rugby League games on SKY SPORTS is unfair considering the expensive subscription charge SKY SPORTS subscribers pay. We feel very angry that we are paying the same as the followers of other major sports and not getting nearly the same coverage.
Football on SKY will have:
The Premiership, The Championship, League 1, League 2, The Conference, The Football League Play Offs, The Champion's League, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland internationals, The FA Cup, The Carling Cup, The FA Trophy (final), Masters Sixes, loads of discussion programmes, Soccer AM plus probably more
such as Spanish League, Spanish Cup and the J League magazine programme.
Rugby Union on SKY will have:
Guinness Premiership, European Cup, Tri Nations, Super 14, Currie Cup, NPC, Touring Internationals, Youth Internationals plus The Rugby Club
Cricket on SKY will have:
Every international at home and abroad, Twenty20, Pro40, Championship, C&G Cup
So Rugby League will have:
Super League, Tri Nations, The Varsity Match, Boots 'n All
As much as we all want to see Super League matches, it just won't be worth the subscription fee.
Our opportunity to watch the cream of World Rugby League talent will be taken away from us.
We implore SKY to reconsider and to resign a deal to continue to show NRL games on SKY SPORTS.
Sincerely,

It is scandalous that NRL should be dropped from Sky's schedule without any consideration of the rugby league watching viewers.

Coverage is limited as it is. To reduce coverage further will not be value for money. 42.50 for 4 Hrs of RL i think not.
