Delayed Friday Night games

[Tigermama]

Can't stand the delayed Friday Night Games. Unless it's the WT playing, I can't be bothered sitting through the add- ridden telecast. It's mind numbing. I would love to see an extra game on the weekend instead, or even a Thursday Night game as long as it's LIVE.
When will we, the fans get what we want? More and more people are switching off the telly when the delayed game's on, so why isn't Ch.9 listening?
No other sport does this as far as i know. ….I 'm interested to know how many others on here, bother to watch the delayed telecast?

I'm with you Mama…without WT involved I usually fall asleep...not to mention Raaaay...

Usually know the score as well with the Net ....so if it looks like a good game i'll record the Fox replay and watch it in the morning sans adds

I can't understand why the delayed game can't be shown live on one of their other channels, I was channel surfing last night in the ad breaks and on Gem they had a movie Pale Rider made 30 years ago, a few rounds back when we played the dogs it was delayed and then it went into golden point for a very late night!.

Yawn, yawn, yawn, literally. After waking at four thirty odd, it is the perfect natural sleeping pill.

Might have to take some headgear to the coming Friday night match agaimst the dogs.

Yeah it's a good time to wind down. I never see out past the first half. It's just so boring, drawn out and I'm really not sure if it's the delayed telecast or Ray Hadley butchering it. Either way no thanks

Yeah I'm like everyone else, only ever watch the 1st game. I can't do commercials and always end up finding out the score

Will they broadcast it live on radio? Triple M

Usually watch the delayed game - no option really.
Can't afford pay TV.
Channel 9 do suck - yes, but better than the alternative of one game less in the round on "Free to air."

Then again - pretty soon it will all end up like the "Formula One"
One /10 have now moved F1 to pay TV with just some highlights on "Free to Air."

Oh! the mighty dollar - bugger the fans. I'm alright Jack!

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Agree it should be live on an alternate channel so the consumer can choose which game they would prefer to watch.

I rarely stay up to watch the delayed as I work most weekends… Anytime Catch Up on Fox is the bomb in this regard.

The huge number of commercials Channel 9 air during the delayed telecast is more than most people can tolerate. Maybe I'm being very sceptical but I believe that Ch.9 put on the delayed telecast so that they can overload that timeslot with all the commercials they cannot fit inside the live telecast timeslot.

NFL often blackouts games nearby on TV unless theyre sold out. although i think theyre sttopping that this year

i think the EPL has some deal with not showing games live in england but im not sure

in any case, google 'livestream' find the NRL sectionand grab holaunblocker and set it to 'sweden.' every game live and in HD. i watched half of the broncos game then switched over the dogs eagles last night

I'm the same as Russell. The delayed game is annoying with all the ad breaks and Ray Hadley's commentary, but I still always watch it if I'm at home. I don't have foxtel and I'm a rugby league tragic, so I can't help myself

 

[gallagher]

Cant remember the last time I watched all of the replayed game. Last night I didnt even watch the beginning. At least its usually only broncos games.

I think Hobbs is using his wonky eye…

Surely Roosters/Wests Tigers over Broncos/Penrith will be live into Sydney Round 9 .. :brick: .Round 11 we play Cowboys in the split round on Saturday Night...

Even with Pay TV Russell the game is still delayed on Channel 9, it's a sure way to turn kids off the game when their preferred game might be the second one, why not turn the TV over to 7 or 10 and get AFL live on not one but 2 stations.
It was pointed out recently that our game against the Bulldogs that went into Golden Point had about and hours worth of ads, 9 certainly made up for the fact that they can't screen that many ads during a live game then they can make up for it in the delayed games as they know that only the diehard fan is going to be awake long enough to last until fulltime.
