[QUOTE="tituslechmakus, post: 704537, member: 13025"] Yep and that is even worst in France ! I started watching rugby with the Hcup around 10 years ago, because it was available on Free TV on Sat afternoon ... But now that is has gone in ppv tv (we only have 1 match left per week end on free tv), I wonder how many children will watch it ? Rugby, as said previously is not so popular as football ... And how can you make it grow by reducing the number of people having access to it ? Generally, a sport grows in number of licenced children in clubs, after a good WC or olympics, when the children can see it ... But how are they going to be interested in it if they cannot watch it all year around ? And I said it was even worse down here because French people are much less interested in sport tv than Uk people. Here, if you don't have any more sport on free tv, rather than subscribing to ppv tv, you will do something else ! Our equivalent to Sky (Canal+) can attract around 2M at its peak (PSG/OM matches) ... And there is another broadcaster who is buying all the rights for sports (Champs league, Champs cup, Ligue 1 ... etc), so it means another subscription ? Naaah, people will find other centre of interests ... [/QUOTE]
