@HartInGil08 @UTDRazza_ Rugby league has been played at Old Trafford since the 50s, and every top flight final (except for 2020) has been played there, along with multiple World Cup Finals

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@UTDRazza_ No no, that's Old Trafford too, that's my point. The slope in that video is the same one you're talking about.

@jr_klaim @UTDRazza_ Super League Grand Final is played at Old Trafford every year in October

@shaby78 @startrekshots Profit for the workers, less for Quark. Win-win.

@WhovianLife There's nothing to remaster, it was shot digitally, so this is the highest quality we will ever see it in. Things shot on film can be rescanned at a higher resolution to make 1080p or even 4K remasters, but digital video can only ever be shown at the resolution it was shot at.

@HjRobins People at the time also thought it had to do with the theory that the BBC had to use the Daleks once a year in order to retain the rights to them. This aired in 2016, and The Pilot in 2017, which in theory would retain the rights for the BBC.

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@HjRobins iirc, it was shot purely as a one-off introduction to Bill, and was never intended to be in The Pilot the following year. When they later shot The Pilot they decided to rework and use it in the sequence where they try to run from Heather. I may be completely wrong though.

Missing Doctor Who found, maybe 2026 isn’t a cursed year!!! 😭😭😭

@wearedarvo @dabaof2 @Xynchr0 I was ten when they came out, prime target audience, played White release week, and still love it to this day.
People only didn't like them becuse they didn't like how some of the new mons looked and couldn't use old ones until the post game, but I didn't care at all about that.

@SnrHuevo @CrazyGav90 @TrylineUK Again, the BBC actually show more matches than Channel 4 did, the BBC show 10 on main channels (BBC 2 and 3), + 5 more on the iPlayer + the Cup, Channel 4 only had 10 matches in total per season.
The "shunting" you're talking about is extra, they still show 10 matches on FTA TV.

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@SnrHuevo @CrazyGav90 @TrylineUK The BBC have the same deal that Channel 4 had, plus 5 SL matches on the iPlayer, and their pre-existing Challenge Cup content. The only difference is that instead of having to produce the matches themselves like C4 did, they just have to add their own comms over Sky's pictures.

@BangorAyeGaz @johnnyddavidson Saints were part of the NRL pre season competition, got to play St George the week before Penrith. Worked pretty well for me.

how it feels watching a star trek series/movie without a bitch in your ear telling you how bad it is and that it ruined the franchise

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@Oldsuliansrfc @AllThingsRugbyX There are two UK teams playing at this event?

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@wwrl_lewis @SuperLeague It's because Sky and Fox League have the exclusivity deals in those countries. If SL+ broadcast all the matches then people wouldn't subcribe to Sky/Fox and they'd lose out on revenue, and pull out of Super League, and the comp would have no central funding.

@brendansfoley @rugbyleaguewcup https://t.co/wr1sODgp3N
Was purely group stage, no knockout format.

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@wwrl_lewis @SuperLeague You can, outside the UK and Australia.

[Ben Davidson @benpdavidson]

@linmanfu @twittyname @johnnyddavidson I love the railway, and will often take the train to matches where I can, but usually if I'm going to see an 20:00 kickoff, I can't always take the train home, especially if I have to cross the Penines.

I'm very happy SL gets the extra revenue, but it still doesn't make sense.
