There was a period where the season opener on Sky was a repeat of the previous season's Grand Final IIRC. |

| Quote: Saddened! "All the opening fixtures a completely boring.
Why not start with a bang? Have Hull v Wire on Sky and Wigan at home to Giants. Both big crowds, 15,000+ most likely for the first weekend and semi decent games.
It's just such a damp squib of a start.'"
Hull v Wire is 'a bang'? Its of little more interest to those outside hull and Warrington than the widnes v wakey game. The new boys and also two of the teams likely to be fighting it out at the bottom. Should be an interesting game. |

given that the big clubs dont usually click into gear until June anyway, SKY have probably made the right decision to show the "smaller" clubs first off.

Hull v Warrington has top quality players in it. It also has the potential to be a close game. There will be a 14,000+ crowd no doubt, which presents a good image for the sport.
Contrast to 5,000 at the Stobart with one end completely empty and an amateurish game between two no hopers.
Having the trash teams on SKY is just a bad idea, which pollutes public perception of the sport. We should get the big games, the big crowds and the entertaining games on SKY in order to raise the profile of the sport. |

So your predicting a 5000 crowd for widnes' first game back in super league, aswell as the fact there will be a lot of wakey fans travelling to see the new look team? And your also implying that outside the so called top clubs there is no such thing as an entertaining or close game? You sir, are an idiot |

'A lot' of Wakefield fans have never travelled anywhere.
Last season had Millenium Magic - starting the season with a bang
This season it is starting with a whimper |

Wakefield will not take 100 fans to Widnes. I doubt Widnes will bother opening the away end.
If Widnes can beat 5,000 home fans for a nothing game like Wakefield then they are well set. |
