Any replys??????????

That's been done, I waxed lyrical about the money I've put into the ARU this year and the fact that there's over 20000 people like me in the state. Surely the ABC can see the value in this, for goodness sake they telecast the WAFL every saturday to an audience of about 32 people and a coulpe of budgies sitting in little old ladies' loungerooms, if 1/2 the Western Force membership tuned in for even one of these matches the ratings would kill the WAFL telecasts for the whole year, even a blind tighthead prop could see that!

[RugbyFan]

I can see very well thankyou!

[GIGS20]

OK, OK, you must be a non-blind tighthead prop then!
See, it's all good, but surely you can see that the APC isn't a bad deal for the ABC to telecast, am I right?

[Burgs]

When you're right you are right GGST
Totally agree, geez, even NT ABC TV can broadcast their club rugby!

[Vasco]

This is the answer that I received following a request to ABC. Not much positive result. I received no reply from asimilar request to Foxtel.

"Thank you for your email.

It does not appear as if the ABC will be covering the APC matches you
have referred to. Nonetheless, I have passed on your comments to ABC
television management and to ABC Sport, so that they are aware of the
demand for the coverage.

Thank you for taking the time to write to the ABC.

Kind regards

Gretchen Shirm
ABC Audience and Consumer Affairs"
