If I heard correctly, our match next Friday is live on SKY Sports.

I assume this is so that SKY can show Leeds getting the League Leaders Trophy, following their win over Saints tonight.

Anyone fancy our chances of spoiling Leeds' party and doing the double over them?!

Oh right, seriously? Ermm...













[size=59I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, THE ABOVE POST WAS A JOKE AND WHEN WE BEAT THEM, I ALWAYS THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO....[/size

They're pretty much guaranteed the shield now as their points difference is quite a bit better than Saints I think. Wonder if they'll play a weakened side.

oooh. we're on sky at home. again. what a change.
can anyone remember the last time we we're on sky in super league away from home? (smart s dont answer murrayfield)

it seems like they put us on to make the numbers up usually but here it actually means something (though not for us), unbelieveable!

I think Harlequins away in 2007 near the beginning of the season was the last time wasn't it when we drew after Hodgson missed the easy conversion.

We do seem to get shown pretty much only at home, possibly because our away records in the past at certain clubs has been so bad.

I watched last night and was reminded of how well we have done Leeds have only lost twice at home all season and up until last night Saints had only lost two away from home all season and only one club figured in both equations X = Salford.




Now how funny if we p155 on Leeds chips by beating them 30 - nil and Saints win by 40 at home.

if it will be on sky i think they may change it to a saturday then.I hope we do leeds because i cant stand them already and for them to lift the shield at are place will be bad enough!

You've done it before, you can do it again. It would be good if you did. It wouldn't mean the hubcap to us, though, unless you beat them by one hell of a margin because there is no way we are going to beat Catalans by about 60 points!!! That Saints has well gone.

It's definitely friday

Manchester Radio have just stated that the Salford City Reds v Leeds Rhinos game is being shown Live on SKY Sports next Friday 11/9/09 KO: 8pm.

it better stay as friday cant go if its moved to saturday..

Going to have to try and find a pub in Eastbourne that will have the game on and then off to a gallery opening in Brighton, from the sublime to the bleeding rediculous in one fell swoop.

and what a game that was!!!! ha even though we only got a draw i remember nearly all the salford fans we were with there were still celebrating like we won! ha

I think sky have messed up on this one, looking at the league table, Cats away at Saints and Bradford away at Hull has much more importance and compelling viewing than our fixture. Sky could just have had a camera and a broadcaster at our gaf showing leeds pick up the hubcap at the end of the game. Either way I'll be at the willows

I hate to say it but it isn't the fixture as such that has gotten Sky drooling. It's the fact that Leeds will be presented with the hubcap at your match. That's the pull.

My sentiments exactly, so why bother with the game itself

Sky have now decided to show Hull v Bradford on Friday instead.

Hope so, they must have read my post



May bring a few more Leeds fans down too.

It's been confirmed on Sky Sports News.

What? That they read his post?

you off to eastbourne to grab your self a dominatrix granny then?

Will your fans stay and watch the Champions pick up the League Leaders shield on friday?

I will. I'm sure quite a few will. We're quite a generous bunch at the willows you know. If the away team play well we clap them off. Unless your saints, wire, wigan or leeds

I will and I am sure there will be a lot more there doing this also.
We are not all inbred neanderthals here at Salford you know

It's not so much that they thought Hull v Bradford was a more interesting fixture, more likely that someone at Sky said hang on a minute haven't Salford been on 3 times this season already. That's 2 over their quota you know and one of them was at Murrayfield. We'll have to rethink this Magic weekend scheduling to make sure we don't over do it next year!!!

I swear we could get the Grand Final and they'd pull it to show some 4th Division unibond football game or something.

Could this anti- Salford bias be anything to do with Phil Clarks beloved Wigan getting dumped out of the cup by us all those years ago.

Sorry, is my angst starting to show thru?
