Kenilworth Tiger Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 While it is absolutely ridiculous I can't seeing it affecting more than about 7 people Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That’s the thing with end of season games, you don’t know their importance in February, or in this case, six weeks ago. It’s unfortunate but it’s one of the best games scheduled this weekend and the TV companies want it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonfan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That’s a shame. It has been in my diary for weeks. Possibly can’t make it now. I have attended every home game this season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Homer Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not sure it's being televised, according to the Sky Sports website and the awful 'rugby-league' website Sky are showing 3 dead rubbers from the Super 8s this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredgie Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Its not on TV , presumably either London or Salford game has been chossen for the following Thursday. No doubt we will find out on the Thursday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The RFL are apparently advising anyone who complains to them that it was at the home side's request. London are saying they were told about the change by the RFL at 10.15 this morning. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Angelic Cynic Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The RFL postponed,at very short notice,a League 1 fixture at Coventry Bears v West Wales Raiders,in order that Coventry Bears could host Pilkington Recs in a Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Game in March. They have recently altered the days England v New Zealand at Liverpool. Now this. Joke sport. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Southern Reiver Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Feel for the Salford fans who had probably made plans in advance. Not the first time this has happened (don’t mention Catalan/Broncos to some Broncos fans). Due to other commitments I won’t be making the game either, and probably a number of other home fans too. Ridiculous. Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s the RFL Liverpool FC or the police. The others though happen in all sports. There isn’t a major sport in Britain who hasn’t moved a game for TV (even if it is to give Salford more time from a TV game) or cup postponements.

THE RED ROOSTER Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well at least I can go to this game now and might also be able to make the Halifax game now also moved to Saturday at 7.05pm Probably will not have to bok a ticket in advance though Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones.

That's not what we are hearing in Salford but yes the Salford .v. Toulouse game has been moved to Thursday for TV. This means I can't go to either game as I work 5 Nights Monday to Friday. Nearly bought train tickets to London as well. Glad I didn't now. Oh well - Swinton .v. Featherstone and Batley .v. Swinton it is then pn the next two Sundays..

DavidM Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 minutes ago, scotchy1 said: This only really happens for two reasons. 1 the structure we have and 2 the number of slots we take. Sell more slots to broadcasters, with certain ones taking for certain clubs (i.e all Les Catalans games home and away at 5:30 Saturday, all Toronto games home and away 8/9pm saturday) and slots on Thursday, Friday, and 1pm and 3pm Saturday and all games are televised and played at a certain slot, games don't need to ever be moved because you can sit there at the beginning of the season and plan every game for every slot and not need to amend any bar the play-offs because all would be televised anyway. Isn’t it also strange that TV games go on with games , sometimes multiple other games , at the same time . Not really helping yourself . There’s TV games but otherwise i still don’t think you can beat Sunday afternoon for your live rugby fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 4 minutes ago, scotchy1 said: Im not sure the sunday slot is all that popular with TV for RL because largely it is taken up with Football, maybe during the summer. I would like to see the game try and get all SL games televised, 1 thursday, 1 friday, 4 saturday, and then leave Sundays entirely free for lower league RL so if they do get a tv deal they can sell slots at 1pm and (if they can get it)6pm with all the other games played at 3pm Sunday to minimise cannibalising the attendance with TV viewership. Yes , sorry I meant Sunday afternoon for the wider game outside of tv and TV games shouldn’t be going up against other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
