However by promoting the live stream you expose the competition to a whole range of people that may then chose to go to a game in the future.
At the moment we have no idea what game is going to be on live stream and what isn't until we check the live scores and there it is. It seems the SANFL wants a half baked cake and thats what it is getting.
Bit like retail stores going online, you need to change with the times to succeed. If you are not getting better you are almost certainly getting worse.
or are they setting up a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy? no promotion > few people watch it > statement released saying it is being dropped completely as it isnt popular > statement saying keeping the reserves sides are more important now as without them there will be no TV coverage and it is the only option as the live stream was a "failure"......
