Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2402905, member: 1764"] It was a battle over power - both in control of the game and Pay TV. It's all hypothetical, but I wonder if they knew then what we know now - that Optus TV was never going to succeed and that Foxtel would have a pay TV monopoly - would the fight have been different? Would the ARL have worked with News Limited instead of against them? If only they did. We'd be the number 1 football code in Australia right now. We were already nudging AFL in that respect by the end of 1994, and the expansion in 1995 started with huge anticipation. Then the war broke out and deadset we set ourselves back 10 years in the space of 12 months. [/QUOTE]
