I'm with you all the way on that. I haven't watched a minute of the World Borefest and don't intend to!

[size=200RL FOREVER![/size

As someone has already stated they have a massive car boot at the stadium I do believe it is a big money spinner for them and is held every week .They would not be able to switch it to early kick off , I am not interested in football so it makes no odds to me.

Glastonbury on the sky+ for me, next please ?????

Ooohhhh!!!! Rolf Harris , yes.

We've moved our KO time at the Sports Village from 3pm to 1pm, just awaiting confirmation!!

It'll still take Keighley fans two hours to get in though.

I will be watching Fax regardless, always want England to win and will watch all the games we play in but Fax come first and it will be a sky plus job for the England game unless Dewsbury and Fax get together and change the KO time!

Die hard Rugby fans V a patriotic nation! (V Finance for RL clubs)

Not just for our game but for all sporting contents scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Whilst i am 100% sure there are some die hard fans who would support Halifax or their team if they were playing on the moon

There is a large number of Rugby fans who do follow the English national team at Football, the last 16 of the world cup a game the only has the opportunity to come around once every four years! And its against the Germans! Dewsbury away! mmmmmmmmmm

Common sense has to prevail, move the Dewsbury game, I had been strong armed in to a public engagement on Sunday at 3pm and begrudgingly had to agree to keep some piece, however, that’s out the window now.

So WHEN the game is re-arranged I will get the best of both worlds and watch both England and Fax

After thinking about it, I'd rather watch the football this weekend, World Cups come around once a year, we go to dewsbury every other year,

If Dewsbury want to impact the gate and play the game at 3, fine by me, They won't be getting my Entrance & Beer money, however I may take my custom to Cas and watch a game of RL this weekend still as they have had the hindsight to move their kick off.

Without starting the "best supported away team" debate, Dewsbury vs Halifax will be one of their biggest gates of the season due to the number of fans we'd take with it only been 20 minutes away, If they want to miss out on the opportunity tomake a few quid, Then its Tough

i dont think they will change it, as they have a massive car boot every sunday,dont know who its run by but dont think they will want to cancel booty as its is a good income, i may be wrong

As Dewsbury have decided they don't care about the fans and refused to move it then I have decided I don't care about them and will be watching the footy.
Sure they've got a stupid car boot on Sunday morning but what's wrong with Friday night/anytime Saturday/Sunday evening.

Friday night has to be the best option, or why not Saturday?

I think that those who would choose England over Fax at 15:00 would probably still not do a 13:00 or 18:00. You only have to look at how packed the pubs and clubs have been in Halifax and the surrounding towns to get the feeling that watching England is an event that people attend over an afternoon/evening rather than just going out for the 2 hours of the game. I've already been invited to a number of BBQ's which will inevitably start at lunch time and go on into early evening or later.

I'm afraid that a Sunday kick off at any time will probably result in me missing a game that I would otherwise have been at. I'm afraid that's also likely to include the 10 or so people that I go to games with.

Ditto.

Dewsbury have the same myopic stubborn view as some posters above have. It's no contest. My 20 quid going to the game will be better spent having a Bbq a few beers and watching England.

There's a football game on?

Does it not occur to you that you could also be considered "myopic and stubborn" for suggesting that the KO time should be moved to accomodate the football?

It may appear "no contest" to you as you obviously put football first before RL but it doesn't seem to occur to you that many committed RL supporters have no interest in football whatsoever.

I have little interest in football personally, But i do watch the national team, as well as Other "top level" matches, Champions League, Internationals, Some Premiership matches,

England vs Germany is a fixture that 99% with a passing interest in football will want to watch, a bit like if Andy Murray reached the Wimbledon Final, that would draw a massive television audience, same when England won the ashes in 2005, a lot of people watched that as we had a chance of winning depsite having little interest in cricket.

Other clubs have seen that having a clash with the football could impact attendances so have moved, yet Dewsbury were very quick to confirm the 3pm kick off, and it looks like it hasnt been considered.

Doncaster v Rochdale now saturday night k/o 7-30

as a home and away die hard fax fan,i very rarely miss a game, im having problems deciding what to do on sunday.

i had a full day planned starting in ossett and heading towards dewsbury, but with this clash in fixtures and the what i think 'stupidity' that the rams will not rearrange the ko time.

how much money will they lose out on by regular supp orters not going to the rugby????!!

we normally would take anything up to 600-700 if the weathers nice....i predict half as many going if the fixture stays the same.

15*350 alot of coin that!

not to mention the dewsbury fans that will not attend.....a crowd of 1300 will be less than 800 in my opinion
dewsbury sort it out!!!!!!

It would be one of their biggest crowds of the season, if the weather stays good there'd be big takings in the bars ect, but its their accounts and they want to miss out on a good amount of revenue, who are we to judge.

I dont miss many games, and Ive never been to dewsbury and was looking forward to finally going, but seems it will have to wait.

they are deffinatly missing a trick with this one!

seems common sence to me....rearrange

The decision has already been made mate, if you are still out with us then we are going to the Rugby. Probably ring you tonight mate to arrange everything.

Not myopic and stubborn no, patronising, probably. Apathetic, definitely.

Fact is, rams will lose money as a result. It may be out of their hands, then ok. But if not, they are myopic as a business. It seems a pretty equal split on here of those who will and won't be going.

Enjoy the game on Sunday, and shout extra loud in absentia of those who decide not to go.

Fax Machine.The problem IS that quite a large proportion of them do have an interest in England playing Germany in the World Cup finals.Its not that they all prefer football to rugby,that has nowt to do with it,its that lots of sports followers get patriotic.Sam and Bob both aren't coming for that reason and Sam couldnt care less about the footie UNLESS its the World Cup and against Germany.
Isn't it funny how the other matches in our division have both been switched to 1 O'Clock kick offs.People are allowed to like other sports.I know you like your Motorbike racing.I have no real interest in football,but I do in this particular match.Call me all you want,but the Leigh,Keighley,Featherstone and Widnes folk seem to have prevailed to whats called common sense.
A bit mad for Rugby League I know.
At the end of the day its each to their own and realistically and unfortunately if the game goes ahead at 3 I reckon the attendance will be at least halved.

Now that Dewsbury have made the decision NOT to change the kick off time, what will your decison be?????? Once in four years last 16 of the World cup or Dewsbury away, where we will go year in year out????

Maybe we ought to have a vote???
