Just looking through the sky games for the first half of the season ( 15 league games plus the Brisbane match ) we are on tv for 12 of our 16 matches - 5 home ( Inc Brisbane ) 7 away ( Inc magic weekend ).

Great for the fans who can't easily make games. Hard for season ticket holders who struggle for weeknight evenings. Thankfully half of the away weeknight games are the local derbies and the others against teams who normally play Friday night's anyway. Suspect there will be some sky sport renewals in Warrington from February onwards

Oh well modern rugby league.... . . Saturday is the new Sunday I guess.

Thursday nights though. ....I'm guessing someone has done the numbers and worked out the benefits to being on tv outweigh the fact crowds can be down by a few a few hundred. .? ?

Just read that the international break weekend is 5th - 8th May, yet we're playing Saints that weekend. So that's a double up of fixtures at the end of May and also a game the same weekend as the international? What's the point in the doubling up weekend if there actually isn't a free weekend?

The fans survey indicated a roughly 50/50 split between Friday nights or Sunday afternoon. I think people can live with that. What has been overwhelming across all clubs that have asked similar questions is the hatred of Thursday night games ....... 100% for the benefit of SKY as they cant find anything else to fill a Thursday nights TV.

It is an issue that the RFL needs to wake up to. In all honesty the only people who really benefit from season tickets are pensioners who may buy just their own ticket at reduced cost.

Contrast that to a working family of four or five people that love their rugby league but are prevented from going to fixtures because of constantly shifting playing days. That would generate more club revenue for the club than me with my pensioner ticket. Add to that the act of introducing kids to watching live sport & having bums on seats is much better for the future of the game than allowing sky to screen games whenever they decide.

I for one am really disappointed at the demise of the Sunday afternoon game.

I live miles away from Warrington so have no choice but to drive to games, and Sunday afternoon games are the best (in my opinion) because there are less idiots on the ale. I personally go to the match to enjoy the rugby, and night games just mean more drunken idiots shoving past you and spilling ale everywhere.

The kick off time is the reson that I will not be attending another Grand Final (should we get there) - too many drunken 4r5eholes who don't give a monkeys about anyone's enjoyment apart from their own.......that and the fact that Old Trafford is a dump (in my opinion)

Rant over.......
