What's your thought's on this?

It seems there is a lot of divide on the subject on Twitter.

If it brings more viewiers to the game then I'm all for it, I just think the RFL should of decided this a lot sooner not when there's 2 days to go until the season starts.

What about the people who have bought season tickets knowing the games are on a weekend?

A lot of people work lates or nights!

People just won't be able to attend the games!

May aswel just close all the terraces and just promote it as a televisual sport!

Why?

The clue is when this starts. May. Why? Because we're a TV slot filler for when the football finishes. That is all.

This decision is not for the benefit of our sport or it's spectators. But there's no point getting over excited. Because this is the power we give Sky in return for their cash.

Nail. Hammer. Thwack!

Sky has always had real problem filling their TV scheduling slots in the summer.

It's the reason why we switched to summer rugby way back in the first place. Sky demanded it, not the other way around. It's their product, they own it and they can do what they like with it.

I'm ok as long as it doesn't clash with aerobics oz style

Still getting up at 6.30am to watch it?

People will be less likely to travel to games if they're working early the next day.

What about families with kids?! You know, the same kids who are the future of the sport. They won't be able to go to the games as they'll be getting home to late with school the next day.

You only watch that for 3 minutes anyway.

Agree with you there Cumbrian Rhino!

SKY are not bothered about spectators. It's a simple as that, be it Rugby League, Yawnion even Football to some extent. They change fixtures as they please without any thought about the paying public.

My only concern would be that a Monday > Friday turnaround would be a little tight for most knocks

Why should they please the paying spectator and season ticket holders at games?

They exist to to please the paying Sky subscribing armchair spectator in the comfort of their own living rooms and profit from that.

Reading your tweets and fb statuses, this seems to me like you're annoyed because you will be unable to get "messy" and "extremely drunk" on away days. It will probably be only one game, it's no massive deal, as it's not exactly the whole season.

What about people who work friday or saturday nights, far less happening on a monday to stop people going.

A few people may be too mothering to take kids on a school night but I cant imagine any grown ups being bothered about staying up past 11.

Personally I can think of loads of things that I would rather do on a friday or saturday night and save the rugby for monday.

How many away saturday games did we have on sky last year?
