Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg



Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Yes, it's not like there aren't people who work on Friday nights, or weekends, is it?

Listen, no kick-off time will ever suit everybody, self included, but really you should look at the bigger picture. The season ticket point is with respect just silly. How many games is any one club going to face on a Monday night? 1? 2? I don't know of that many people who work weekday nights, who (with varying amounts of notice, could not either take a few hours off, or else re-arrange their shift if they wanted to go.

And yes there will always be some who can't do anything about it but as I say that is so for ANY kickoff time, and no disrespect but I think to advance a conspiracy theory that Sky delayed any announcement about Mondays to prevent a loss of the odd season ticket sale is frankly nuts.'"

What's your agenda anteater? Sounds to me like Sky or the RFL or most probably both have bought you out, to propagandise for them on rlfans. Sickening.

Everyone knows this is the biggest disgrace since the 2003 cup final refereeing sham.

“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit."

Everything these days is a joke & a disgrace. The OTT nature of responses to everything annoys me as much as the recent trend to park on pavements. I largely blame (for the former) 24 hour news channels & tabloids who sensationalise anything to get viewers.

Who grassed me up? OK I'll spill the beans. Yes, Nigel Wood took me to Monaco, where I opened up my Aardvark66 account with a paltry £17m - no more than honest pay for honest work - and as for Sky, they said I could have £4.99 off my subscription for 3 months if i would do it icon_surprised.gifops:

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



There's a huge TV market for sports on Monday nights and it's being handed to us on a plate. In many countries and leagues it's the biggest game in terms of TV audience wherever it's done. I think it's great, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it pans out for RL.

The big issue for me with weekday evening games is being able to get to away games because getting away from work can be a pain sometimes, even with advance notice. Once upon a time it was a really exciting thing to see RL played under lights. It still is to be honest, night games still add to the atmosphere for me but now that it seems like every away game that constitutes a big game is played on Friday nights whether it's a TV game or not and getting there became less essential. I doubt I'm going to make much effort that way on Mondays either.

Fully support the move though.

Why are we obsessed with change just for the sake of it.
If it's not broken then don't fix it!
The modern world stinks.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19829.gif

So we play Cas on Monday June 4th and Saints on Friday June 8th.

Genius. I'm sure the club are overjoyed at another fixture pile up like Easter.

Hopefully Saints will be good enough to switch the date of the Friday game otherwise we'll be walking wounded going into the toughest away game of the season, but why should they?

Well done RFL.

I think I'm right in saying that the June 4th game always was going to be on that day - its a Bank holiday this year I believe

So this isn't anything to do with 'Monday Night Rugby'

Aye Spring Bank Holiday. But surely the club wouldn't have done this knowing they have a fixture on Friday night? Makes more sense to play it Sunday. Hopefully we can get the Sky game changed to another fixture and not have players backing up within 4 days?

Saints away with a side that's barely recovered doesn't bear thinking about.

Why are RL fans seemingly incapable of travelling short distances for midweek games, but this is never a problem for football fans?

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



Minor point I know but Fri/Sat/Sun games are fine for the medical staff as shifts can be swapped if your club Dr is a hosp doc in his day job. If he is a GP then his day usually finishes at 18.30 on a Monday (or later if Monday is the extended hours night). As clubs usually want their medical staff present about 90mins before kickoff then that could cause a couple of problems requiring some forward planning.
