There are four games scheduled that weekend.
Sky don't care what order.

The games are scheduled by Sky.

We will play Sunday at home on Sky.

Sounds reasonable then.

I would assume it would get more complicated after that if lose week 1? Aren't the football at home the next weekend as well?

Should we win week 1, and we go to week 3 - the football are away (I believe?), so no issue there.

sorry I wasn't really clear but thats not what I meant, I just meant its possible for a quick turnaround, I've not seen the KO time for Latics on the Saturday but if its early enough we could potentially play Saturday evening could we not?

No chance.
Plus no need to if 3 Sunday Live SKY TV slots are free.

That's potentially the problem game.

yeah fair point, just a thought.

As I have already mentioned, the sunday night slot is all well and good apart from the fact that it leaves a much shorter turnaround to week 2 than the Friday night game.
whilst it might suit us (if it is the only option), I could well imagine the fourth placed team, in normal circumstances expected to lose, being not too happy about having to back up the following Friday.

SORT IT WHELAN.

If i remember correctly i think one kicked off at 11am and one at 6pm cant remember which way round it was it is possible but very unlikely.
Sky will dictate when we play as they pull the strings at both the RFL and PL.

If we have to move grounds to Widnes, then we should be kicked out of Super League. Its totally unfair to tell clubs they have to get a new ground or no Super League when we don't even have a ground. Plans need to start about building a new ground. Its only fair.

Should we also kick Huddersfield out as they have to move three games to Halifax next season?

Well if you think like that Saints should be thrown out as well as all there games are moved to Widnes next year

yup they've got us by the short and curlies big time.

We should blame Blackpool for this. We wouldn't be in this predicament if it wasn't for them.

I think Dougy has a point tbh. The Huddersfield and Saints examples are isolated incidents. We, on the other hand, have to go four weeks EVERY May without a home game, we have to have a legally enforcable clause stating we play second fiddle and we have to move stadium for the climactic games of the season. Hardly gives us grounds (no pun intended) to criticise others.





I did like the quote about lynching Whelan though
