Raiders push for free-to-air games

[aussies1st]

Raiders chief Don Furner believes his club deserves more free-to-air coverage, after promising ratings during last week's loss to Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium.

More than 723,000 people tuned in to Channel Nine to watch the Sunday afternoon fixture. It was the Raiders' first free-to-air home game in two years and the third time they had been free to air since the start of the 2009 season.

''A good crowd of over 17,000 at the ground and a TV audience of 723,000 shows people want to see the Raiders more on free-to-air,'' Furner said. ''We have shown Sunday afternoon footy is popular here in Canberra on free-to-air and we would love the chance to feature at home on a Friday night as well.''

Horse for courses and this horse must be a winner to be considered for more,it is what it is.

 

[skeepe]

Simply not true Matt. Although given the amount of times that has been explained to you, and you have ignored it, I know I'm not going to get through to you.

 

[matt]

it's not true as we havent been a CONSISTANT winner for a very long time mate.

we had a fluffy 2003 that caught even me off guard but thats it.

This horse must consistantly win games for a few years to force the hand,every horse has a different course of of-course,Some have pretty boys,some have panache.

The Roosters can run last in one season and in the next season, get allocated a sh*t load of games on FTA before a ball gets kicked off,

 

[matt]

Horses for courses mate.

 

[bileduct]

For f**k's sake now Don wants to ruin my Friday nights as well.

 

[Green Machine]

What's this horses for courses bullsh*t?

 

[matt]

it is what it is.

 

[Green Machine]

True. Just bullsh*t,

 

[matt]

:lol: horse sh*t actually?

Didnt Donald quizz the powers that be last year as to what was the best course of action to get his horse more free to air,And they told him to put his horse in a position to win more games CONSISTANTLY,has that happend ? NO,does it look like happening NO.

 

[Green Machine]

True, pure horse sh*t.
I think they NRL and Channel 9 fed them that at the back end of 2008, when they winning regularly,

 

[raiders fan forever]

As long as its live i dont care what station its on the Tigers match was painful enough to watch without the ads being piled on

 

[matt]

yep 6 home games catching visiting teams off guard at HOME that were hardly interested, only to fall into a heap the proceeding year,plus the fact we are mental midgets away form home and we have compulsory viewing ,real powerhouse get off ya chair stuff.

 

[Green Machine]

More horsesh*t. Some pretty impressive away wins at the back end of 2008. The Dragons in Wollongong, the Bulldogs in Sydney, Titian on the Gold Coast, Souths in Sydney. Foxsports number 1 pick of the week is Monday Night Football. I wonder why they the Raiders so much?

 

[matt]

Horsesh*t...pure horesh*t,So restructure the scheduling because a team caught people off guard for 8 rounds,they are as limp as molly's wrist,it is how it is.

Foxsports number 1 pick,yeah right worst of the leftovers IMO...Gimme super SAT any day of the f**king week.

And further to that bring back the 3.00 pm kick off on saturday all live games and let me be pissed and tucked away by 9.35 pm.

 

[Green Machine]

Dick pulling and getting pissed on a Saturday night seems to have summed up that reply pretty well.
Monday Night is Fox Sports first pick and highest rating NRL spot of the week. There is nothing left-over about Monday Night Football,

 

[matt]

Left overs to me mate,should i change my opinion for you?...you seem like you would have largrer muscles in your right hand than left through making love to yourself,do you put one of those magnetic bands on when you take to the bathroom with the lube to give yourself a maximun power breaker?

 

[Green Machine]

Well, if you think Fox Sports first pick is left overs, it shows how horribly wrong you are. Personally, I couldn’t give a sh*t what you think.

 

[matt]

Cool,there is an ignore feature for those exact reasons princess,i suggest you bring it into play.
