Because it's Easter and it's on Sky. Just like every other year.

Hetherington arranged it with the RFL in advance so that Bradford would have less time to prepare.

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8.jpg |

When was the last time it wasn't the Thursday tv game? Must be pre-SL. Saints v Wigan has always been the Friday one.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

I can't be sure, but I think that might be construed as a compliment.

IIRC the 2009 game was played on Good Friday - the 10-6 win |

Yeah I think you're right.
Usually we're the Thursday match and Saints/Wigan the Friday, but they occasionally swap it around.
It's certainly no new thing to play on the Thursday before Easter though (whatever they call that day), so I'm not sure why it's such a shock to anyone this year. Unless of course they've never been before the cheap tickets. |

Also just looked at 2003 - there doesn't seem to have been an Easter fixture there either......? |

Aye that's the one! I kind of thought it was that, but didn't want to put it in case it was wrong and I looked a tit. Sadly, I failed at the last bit anyway

If my memory serves me right, the reason it was swapped around in 2009 was because either Wigan or Saints were playying away at Catlans on Easter Monday thereofre the rfl deemed it fairer to allow them an extra 1/2 days rest / travel time. |
