LETTER: Having Warrington on TV every game is hurting attendance figures (Image: PA)
DRIVING around Warrington, you can barely escape large billboard adverts advertising Sky coverage of rugby league.
I just do not think it is right. It tells you every game is available to watch.
Crowds have fallen away alarmingly this year, and this is because every game is on TV.
Clubs are getting less money from Sky for this, and falling revenues through the gate.
Sky does a lot of good for the game, but it feels like it is doing its best to kill the game too.
We need people through the gate. Warrington could not have had a better season, but crowds are down.
