Only one SL round of fixtures planned for Easter 2020.

Not seen this posted elsewhere yet, player welfare finally prevails.

Superb! All on good Friday afternoon please. 

[nec]

Thank heavens, the Easter Monday games were dreadful. 

Would be good if the championship matches were all on Easter Monday 

[Damien]

Good news, the Monday games were always poor and poorly attended anyway. 

The final round taking place at the same time is good too and much more professional.

Fine, I hadn't seen it which is why I suggested as such.

Perhaps you can post a link to the relevant thread/news as you're fairly sure?

[Damien]

I have to say it was new news to me.

Interesting that the article in the OP states that all final round fixtures will kick off at the same time, which is long overdue too!

Perhaps, but I bet someone knew about it last year...

Me , post a link ? , How do I do that ,does it involve e-mails or stuff like that ? 

[Sports Prophet]

Great decision. 6 games from Friday afternoon through to Sunday afternoon and all of them televised would be the best result.

[Cdd]

Should be spread across the whole weekend to maximise attendances and viewership on the box.

I remember reading something about it recently, but I think it wasn't confirmed news then. A speculative article, perhaps.

The speed decisions can change in RL, it is best to wait for official confirmation... then wait another week in case they change their mind.

Just brought the ' original ' back up 

[Liverpool Rover]

The Grand Final now seems to have a regular slot of the second week of October so this will probably mean that the season will start a week earlier than last year. The sooner the league is increased to get rid of the need of loop fixtures the better.

Over two months actually, although that was speculation.

I brought up the other thread last night , it's on the front general page , under ' Single Easter round '

The Monday game isn’t usually as bad as people make out, it’s the following round on the Friday that suffers a huge drop off.

I think all on Good Friday, the traditional day for the fans who go to the game.

Is this somehow suggesting Hull FC were at a disadvantage in some way by having to play on Monday ?

Who did Saints play on the Friday ?

I wasn't suggesting anything other than we won at a canter on Fiday but were absolutely shafted on the Monday.

That was what being a Hull fan in 2019 was like.

It seems you're looking for things that aren't there.
