i emailed james rule a few weeks back as i work shifts and was affraid it would get changed to a sunday, which would mean me having to try to get cover so i could goto the game. The response i got was they had no plans to change the game.

Surely on a comperate level it wouldnt benifet them to change it to a thursday or even on a fan level to change it.

What an utter moron you are!!!

Wrong



It was created for people to exchange views without people resorting to personal abuse, not matter how irritating they can be.

We all support the same team after all

Cheers for the advice. I'm not interested in being popular

No, the real moron here is the one who posted this, particularly ironic given his/her user name

That is correct, and until the RL come up with a strategy and grow some balls, we as a sport will always dance to the beat of the Sky drum.

The fact is, like it or not the game needs sky and their money and on the whole they do a great job. However, through plain short-sightedness and poor management, the RL have never maximised this and seem to enjoy both bending over for Sky and then subsequently passing that shafting onto its paying supporters.

Please don't quote facts like that. You get shot down for it.

See earlier in thread.

Indeed, why should facts come into it when you've got a wife and kids and booked yourself an early-bird discount train ticket eh?

Still, as long as the b*stards don't grind down the whingers

All he'll see is you missing a joke and, apparently, my explanation of it.

Well no not really, my username is to be taken as literal not metaphorically so no paradox or irony is evident...

So inanykindofweather but sorry, I can't do Thursdays then?

Don't worry, theres no danger of that

I had notcied

read my post again - .... if I say it’s LITERAL it suggests that I’m referring to the weather (climate, conditions, temperature; whichever you want to use) not a bloody rearrangement of a game ffs

Then you must be the only fan over the age of 10 who thinks that phrase is simply a meteorological reference.

I'm just a literal kind of guy, never was good at finding hidden messages in text....I guess that’s why the book animal house never made any sense to me...

On sky tonnight it said that it was changing due to the tall ships coming into hull on Saturday and Hull not being able to cope with 2 Major events so close together? WTF?!?

This smacks of Sky placing the blame somewhere else.

No it doesn't, it's the truth.

When the Clipper launched last year the city saw 200,000 people visit. We can't say how many will come to see it return but if it's anything near that figure then the police simply can't cope with both events.

You can blame Sky all you like but leaving it so late in the day is probably the only thing they can be blamed for. Humberside Police have said no to the Derby taking place on the Saturday and no one else.

I know what literal means which is why I said in any kind of weather but not on a Thursday

that was the freedom festival too

which will happe again o sep 11th/12th

best hope we dot get rovers in the playoffs that weekends then

I know that but there's also events happening that weekend, not to the extent of the FF but as no one can predict the numbers then it's better to be safe surely??

Would mean the police would insist we were the Friday game.

You can have the radio on, next best thing.

The reason they have changed it to a Thursday is so obvious
Sky show national League games on a Thursday however every Club in Championship & Championship 1 will be competing in the Northern Rail 9's on the Saturday.
so sky are just filling their schedule

woo-hoo - I've managed to arrange a meeting in Leeds on Thursday morning so I can make it now! Thank feck for that, thought I'd be stuck on the ferry!

better not im on holiday then
