| This really is taking the p!ss. I accepted an invite for a do on the Saturday in the knowledge that the game was on the Sunday.
It's been said before that the club don't make any more money from being on Sky, so why do they have to bow down to them.
All the money spent on the marketing of this 'Homecoming' game for a Sunday afternoon with a decent family incentive and that goes out of the window.
The club are turning themselves into a laughing stock!
Giant's Homecoming - thousands spent on marketing, along come Sky, attendance 5000!
Not happy

| Less than a fortnight before the game?
Is this Murdoch's way of starting to get back at the British public?
The RL ought to start standing up to Sky.
However, in response to GiantMisterE, this has absolutely nothing to do with the club. They have no say in the matter - apart from having a single vote at the RL. They have to do what Sky tells them.

Why not though?? They must have spent a few bob on marketing this and with it being on Sky (on a Saturday evening) they will probably end up losing money in a stadium a quarter full (at best).
Surely, Sky can't demand we play on a different day. What happens during the football season if Town had have been at home?
I think that there were plans to get some local junior teams to play as well either before or during half-time (again, to attract parents). How many of these clubs are going to be able to put teams out on a Saturday night??

| Just shows Sky's contempt for RL, especially Fartown. Hemmings will be loving it. I booked the Sunday off work, as it stands now I can't make the game. Typical. Will have to juggle workload again.

I agree with you, mate.
I imagine part of the terms that clubs agree to for their sky cash handout is that sky can change dates and kick off times at their leisure.
Match attending fans and the inconvenience these things cause will get little if any consideration.

| This is so out of order, 12 days notice! I feel for you guys, considering the "homecoming" marketing etc, and the ticket deal etc. I was due to go to Rovers this week and get our tickets, but we won't be coming now as we have plans for Saturday night.
Is there any other sport that would allow tv to screw them over at this notice? I doubt it.

| Complete beep joke.
We are a family club who have all our games re arranged so families cannot attend.
My kids have been to hardly any games this season which causes me a lot of hassle as part of my arrangement with my wife is that i can go to away games if i take the kids to home games so she has some rest at a weekend.
I cannot take them to evening KOs.
I will not now be attending this game.
The club are getting royally shafted and need to take it up with the RFL
Why we are going to be on SKY is beyond me as even most of our fans dont want to watch us at the minute let alone the viewing public.

| I thought they had deadlines for making announcements like this, thought it was at least two weeks. Could be worse- think of all the rhinos fans who forked out hundreds to go to Catalan only for sky to change it to a Sunday evening after most people had booked flights home!!

| This is getting beyond a joke. MHW and I are away till sunday lunch time visiting one grandson and the other grandson was goining to be taken to the game on sunday afternoon by his parents. Not starting at that time they are not, the lad will be beyond caring after 15 minutes.
I just hope Sky don't change the 'Quins game!!!

| Bloody typical of sky, its our first game back and they change the date after our big campaign to get people through the gates. I know plenty of people who cant make this as they already have plans made. I for one cant attend as im away for the weekend and wont be back until the sunday morning. I am a season pass holder exiled in Hull and travel back to the games but its things like this that make me think twice about renewing my pass as this is not the first game i have had to miss due to the mighty power of SKY TV!!! Will i get any recompense for the non use of my ticket?? I think not. But being the loyal fan i and many others are i will be renewing my pass. Not a happy bunny tho. Thanks again SKY TV.

Think not - this has messed us up as well - away to Hudds is always a good family day - drink in Gas Club .... fish and chips - coaches are booked and have to be changed - surely there are other fixtures on that day which might be more memorable for Sky to show - or are they just going to spend the air time speculating about whether Morgan and Brown will be at their respective Clubs at the end of the season !!!!!!!

Nah, probably wondering why the people of Huddersfield dont get behind the team and wondering why our crowds are so low when we've got a good team etc etc
what the fools fail to realise is that SKY have probably knocked 2-2500 off our average alone this season !

| Could never made this game as in Philadelphia this week on family wedding duties. Had given tickets and bonus tickets via opening Leeds saver account to friends with young kids to enjoy family homecoming game and entertain. They can't go now with later kick off now, rather than day change.
It's a poor showing and feel for clubs marketing department, but sky are the pay masters.....
