| Will be a day that I make my latest (and long overdue) visit to Odsal for a game.
Sooooooo, if anyone wants to smack me in the mouth for being a complete ar$ewit, or alternatively wants to kiss and make up over a shandy or two then I would love to say hello. (Preferably the latter rather than the former though.)
I certainly MUST owe FA and tigertot a pint of finest....

You could end up missing the game ME. That would be ironic. Don't you think. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| Absolute joke! No wonder RL is seen as a second rate regional sport. Moving a league game just so it doesn't clash with a tin pot reserve team soccer cup final.

You forgot "disgrace"

What, the sport that takes over the Premier League Monday night prime slot on Sky at the end of the football season? Phew. What does that make every other sport seen as?

No, moving it because we'd like to play it when several thousand potential paying customers are guaranteed to be elsewhere. Where they are is entirely beside the point. It wouldn't matter if they were all off shark fishing in the Pacific, it's pure self-interest and financial common sense. If it doesn't happen, it will cost us thousands.

| Friday night is fine as long as you live on the doorstep. Many fans have to travel a fair way to Odsal, what about them?

| It is tough on them, but not a reason for the club to lose thousands if it can avoid it. If I lived a way away, I wouldn't be ecstatic but I would agree they should move it.

The same as when Sky schedule a game for Friday night. hth?
If you would prefer a game played in front of probably a sp Bulls crowd, with the club earning considerably less income than planned at a time when we have been screwed for income by the other SL clubs anyway, then I'd suggest you stay in whatever alternate reality you are currently in.
Your post really makes you look bitter and quite silly, IMO.

I am one of those who travel a fair few miles to each game. I agree, I would rather it moved and have the additional attendance rather that the gate resembling an early round Challenge Cup match lacking atmosphere.

There won't be more support though will there? As the Bulls/City fans will be saving their money to spend in London on Sunday. Chances are they will just give the rugby a miss that weekend.
Season tickets are fast becoming a waste of money if matches are to be moved first of all for the paymasters at Sky and now so it doesn't clash with soccer.

| Has the Bulls game actually been confirmed as the Friday yet? I don't see why it couldn't be on the Saturday.
Saints is usually a big game and I think we should offer anyone with a Wembley ticket half price admission to the Saints game. Even those from Swansea or Chelsea...
