I'm up for it especially during the summer when it's light nights, school holidays and stuff. There's no other sport during that time which is on a Monday night so there's a good opportunity for decent exposure with the game because let's face it, whilst I quite like Saturday night games it can be difficult to attend or watch if you have domestic commitments especially during the summer e.g. weddings, days out, weekends away. Also Saturday night games tend to get half a column centimetre in the Sunday papers.
The two concerns I have are first the frequency at which teams get picked for this game should not be that high to safeguard against attendances i.e. no more than one home game televised during that ten week period on a Monday. Away games should be the same although perhaps allowed for two games. The second concern is the turnaround for the following weekend.
All that said, like the trucks idea, it's an attempt to improve the profile of the sport which is what RL fans constantly complain about. The national media, tabliods/broadsheets aren't going to do it and SKY do a better job of promoting our sport. If we're going to attract new fans it's more likely to come from local promotions and SKY than, say, a national newspaper report about Warrington putting 60 on Wakefield. Our problem is not how the game is reported its getting people to see it. Once they see it they like it. I'm liking the RL's ambition.
