[QUOTE="davten, post: 1135833, member: 85394"] I have been on social media since the announcement was made on the fixtures, complaining about the allocation of tv appearances in the first 11 rounds. Bath5 Bristol6 Exeter7 Gloucester 6 Harlequins 6 Leicester 10 Newcastle 3 Northampton 7 Sale7 Saracens5 The URC & TOP14 have set a precedent by giving equal televised games to all clubs in their relevant leagues. Two leagues which are going from strength to strength. Premiership rugby & TNT on the other hand have been shown up for their midlands bias and remain silent. There are only 10 teams in this league and TNT have 4 channels available plus two box office channels. It will become absolutely boring watching the same team each weekend, for me they could have televised all games on a weekend, one on a Friday , two on a Saturday & Sunday, that way keeping all clubs happy with a equal share of tv coverage. This current coverage must also have a massive impact on the falcons when they are trying to negotiate sponsorship deals. Which company's are going to jump on board with the limited coverage they will receive. [ATTACH type="full"]17182[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
