Fax apologise to their sponsors on the website.
Question: Why do Championship chairmen put up with crap deals like this? Why do they allow this to happen??????

This constant short-notice playing around with dates is bound to affect season ticket sales. Folk are bound to think - happen I won't be able to get to all these games.

That is exactly what stopped me buying season tickets for me and mine when the Thursday screening started a few years ago, I just can't get to the games and by the numbers that turn up i'm clearly not the only one.
Someone from the RFL must wake up to the fact that the clubs need all the revenue they can get and the effects of any TV deals must be thought through.
Is there anything the clubs can do to stop this happening should they so wish to do so or is it forced upon them. |

Lesson to be learned - Championship Chairmen have to stand together united. They don't seem to have the will to do this and as long as it continues the RFL will continue to negotiate dreadful deals like this one. It's up to them to take a stance.

I've asked the RFL on twitter the following:
"@TheRFL Good morning. Please can someone explain the benefit of the PremierTV deal to Championship Clubs? What is the benefit, financial or otherwise of having to switch THE main tie of the season from Sunday to Thursday?".
I'm looking forward to a "lightbulb moment" response.

The reason given by Premier sports as to why there was no Thursday game the other week is that Whitehaven, who were scheduled, refused to travel on a Thursday. So it seems some clubs can say no. We should say no to this one as it costs too much.

Thats just typical our biggest game and pay day of the season moved to a less attractive time and day for fans costing us thousands as you get no compensation from Premier Sports or the RFL, like others have said why us again not Fev at their place?
Smelly and wrong.

They refused to play Friday night at Sheffield a few years ago, got the game moved to Saturday then ended up sauntering down the A61 past Owlerton at about 5 pm Friday.  |

Well I firmly believe that from next season we should play one home game per season on a Friday evening. Can anyone guess which one?
