    To Whom It May Concern:

    I am sending this mail as a pre-concern for broadcasting of the Emirates Western Force’s tour of Europe.
    I am an avid Western Force fan, who only has foxtel for the sports channels, and think that showing these games would

    * and I feel that broadcasting these games would be of great advantage to your ratings.

    So broadcast the games or me and all my mates will start a riot at your offices.

    Why would Foxtel even consider broadcasting these games? They are a business and I severely doubt outlaying a huge amount of money for some post season games which only a small contingent of rugby fans would watch would be part of their business model. Send your concerns to Sentanta or better yet the ABC so they can use their UK contacts to set something up. August is still AFL season after all.

    They would have the people who usually watch Force games at home plus all the regular members that attend games and more than likely will not be attending these games. I think they wouldhave a big enough audience, but I still dont think they will do.
    Approaching the ABC is a better option, because then a lot more people without access to foxtel would also have the benefit of being able to watch.

    Yeah, to be honest I think we may be wasting energy trying to get these broadcast.
    Probably better off to focus on RugbyWA to see if they will do match day updates and perhaps highlight clips on their site.
    They may even consider releasing the vision they will undoubtably be taking themselves when they return but I think there is Buckly's of getting it live or even delayed.
    The best you could hope for is for someone to do a doco on the tour and ending up with a one hour show or the like.
    Any potential backers please send funds to Burgs c/o TWF....

    You'll be lucky - that sort of season warm-up match probably wouldn't even get coverage over here!


    How you got a reply from any of the 3 places to email?

    OK, bit of a bump - anyone who's going to the Newcastle match let me know!

    Also, I might make it down for the Twenty20 cricket on Mon 4th in the evening...

    Oh and if anyone has a bundle of TWF cards they could pop in the post, I could do the honours - or even, send me a PDF or whatever and I could print some...

    I can't make that one but I'm now definitely going to the games on the 23rd and 30th in Leicester and Northampton. Same applies- if you're going and would like extra company let me know!

    If you get the chance Em check out the breakfasts at the Bell and Herbs in Newcastle on the sunday. The food is to die for.

    I'm trying to get to the Saints and Tigers games and would be happy to write a match report for them. I can't make any promises that it would be any good though.
    Drinking at a game? everybody here's VERY disappointed in you James!
