LETS SEE IF HRV HAVE ANY BALLS AND GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS

The very least they need to do is to have Sky 2 made part of Foxtel's basic package (not obligatory to pay for Fox Sports)

Opinions people?


A lot comes down to cost. The racing.com style coverage would be well beyond the trots budget. I asked two years ago at a state forum about employing a parade ring cameraman at Melton to film the parade which could form part of an extended cover on Sky 2 running parallel with Sky 1. I was told it would cost $800 a meet and that cost was prohibitive.

Forgive my directness but I doubt too many more practical or logical ideas to increase turnover so easily would have been discussed by the board since.
