No, you can't .... Selling train tickets is against Ebay's T & Cs
If you put something on, they remove it pretty much straightaway. I suppose there is logic, say someone buying up all the cheap train tickets the morning they become available for say the FA Cup Final and then touting them on Ebay for a profit as everyone clambers for them later.

| Maybe one for TVOC :
- Record lowest SL crowd any fixture ?
- Record lowest London Vs Leeds crowd ?
If a lot of the fans who have been messed around don't go, you could be looking at something like 1500 there.

| The game is very dependent upon the Sky money and Sky know this. Nothing that can be done about it. However, the relationship is inequitable. Sky don't promote the game enough and don't pay the going rate for the second best viewed sport they show.
The RFL need to press Sky hard for a bigger commitment next time the contract is up and should be speaking to BT sport now.

London away gets moved = never going to another game away from Headingley, ever. OK then. See ya
Rugby League, like every other major sport, is reliant on pay TV funding. These relationships are always tangled but they are also essential, like it or not. There has to be give and take though and Sky shouldn't really be moving games which have already effectively been moved once for TV.

Fair enough. The restrictions on train tickets make it difficult for me to choose it over the car.

| As a side issue, Sky are now showing this SL game at exactly the same time as the Championship game on Premier Sports scheduled for that evening. So 2 games of RL on at the same time on different channels.

I'm sure they don't do the same for tickets of the actual events though so there seems a bit of a disconnect there. How annoying

London away gets moved
This is not the first time that the London away fixture in particular has been messed about with ... They did something similar a couple of years ago.
As has been pointed out, let's have a bit of a sliding scale .... Catalans games (remember the London fans half way back to the airport, because their game had been rearranged) should pretty much be played on the date they're advertised at. London games, moved at say 10 - 12 weeks notice, inter county games say 4-6 weeks notice and local games say 2 weeks maximum. That way the broadcaster is able to show what they want, when they want and the fans know where they stand in terms of booking something outside those timescales.
It's not just the fact that this game has moved, it's effectively the straw that has broken the camel's back and I have been feeling increasingly disillusioned with aspects of the game for a while.

| For me it was an annoying fixture date anyway and it's been moved to a more annoying fixture date
Overall it's just annoying
That annoying enough for you?

| You need to read a fantastic letter published in this weeks League Express on this very subject. The guy who wrote it... genius.

| Sky need only give a minimum of 18 days notice apparently, according to today's YEP article. Not really good enough, IMO.

T'was a great letter and before you ask ... It wasn't me
It appears there's lot of hacked off Loiners with useless train tickets out there ... Personally, I have billed Portly Nigel at RFL HQ and we'll see how that goes.
Let's also consider that it could have easily been the London fans messed about on one of their away trips too... We perhaps need as a sport to sit down and come up with a better / fairer system, one that everyone is aware of and perhaps published / advertised by the RFL.
