| I speculated on this way back in December because England play a World Cup Match that night. So I've no doubt it'll change. They'll just be waiting for Sky to say where it'll move to. Sky will confirm by mid April at the very latest because that's when they release their June schedules are released.
Having said that though Sky don't have to officially announce the games they will show that weekend till May 19th, so it could be a longer wait.

It'll be Saturday or Sunday. I'll be amazed if Sky put what is probably their sporting highlight of that particular weekend up against an England World Cup match. It would be unthinkable.

| this is what happens when the RFL sells it soul to a TV company.
they OWN us. They do what they like, when they like and us fans are powerless and the ones being messed about.
not first time, wont be last.
Is it worth the money sky put in?

To be fair, the club would probably do well to try and get it changed anyway, even if SKY don't, because of the effect it might have on the attendance.

Yes, according to the RFL Chief exec on Thursday nights Radio Manchester RL programme tv money is the biggest source of clubs income.

They have a good reason to move it, an England world cup game. Im sure the attendance will be effected if they dont move the game anyway.

| And I'd rather their are 3 games on Sky to watch every week than not at all. Bit of fixture change inconvenience is a small price to pay for that. In my opinion.

Agree totally. Its good to watch other teams to see how they are getting on. I even watch any Championship games that are on live too.

| thanks for your input folks.
put like that i suppose it is a small price to pay to watch regular RL on sky, and the revenue we get seems to be ok.
and sky are at least putting summat back for the fans, unlike some other guy who moves things around at his whim....* stop it pieman, dont go there again please*

| Do you think it would affect the attendance that much? Its only a group game anyway. Not like a Quarter Final v Italy or Germany.

It could be the difference between a sell-out and and around 21,000 IMO. Change it I say!

| saturday teatime would be the obvious time - sliding it in between the 2 world cup games starting at 3 and 7.30 - the England game on friday cannot be taken on -
i suppose thursday nights a non runner ???- theyve done it before mind and not just Wigan v Saints- they moved a game in 2006 from friday to thursday to avoid the start of the world cup - Saints v Hull if i remember

Would be nice. A big fuss over a wedding at Headingley forced Sky to move a home derby in 2002 to Sunday 3pm and aired on Sky Sports Extra (which then wasn't available on cable).
It was a great day, helped by glorious sunshine, a 48-8 Wigan win and a Julian O'Neill hatrick - [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=903 =#FF0000wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=903[/url
