| Quote: Bull Mania "..The 8th spot race is the ony meaningful games SKY has left to show. ..They could have maybe just shown the Catalans/Bulls game on Saturday evening and not bothered showing the Salford game, but as said earlier, SKY millions to fund the games they want to and we're not big enough to turn round and say no.
.'"
Cats Game is contracted to al-Jazeera!
from the Grundian "[iThis has been an accident waiting to happen for years, with the RFL making no efforts to insist on the last round of fixtures kicking off simultaneously as in most credible sporting competitions, and the situation has been further complicated by the involvement of another television company, al-Jazeera, who now cover the Catalan Dragons home matches – and have set down a Saturday afternoon slot for their last game against Bradford Bulls."[/i
just another ironic nail in our season really
Sky started us off this season making us play in a bl**din Blizzard against Cas when by all right it should have been abandoned , now they choose the only home ground not available on the kick-off time with the full knowledge of ESPN hosting Sale at the Stadium.

Cant they? I had flights to a Broncos game down there a couple of seasons ago and at the last minute Sky changed the game to Sun night. If I had used my flights I would have been back in my front room just in time to watch it on the box!!

| Quote: Bilko "All the games should kick off at same time. How dramatic would that be with three games of top 8 potential. But this sport seems to be killing drama and instead opts for a scenario that could mean that if Rovers and Bradford both loses earlier in the day, Wakefield will play Salford at a neutral venue in a dead duck contest. Awful!'"
Just a small point, 8th spot is now only possible for Bradford or Wakefield and although there is a theoretical possibility of Wakefield acheiving the same points as Huddersfield, they would still be miles adrift on points difference.
Incidentally, the two games Catalans vs Bradford and Salford vs Wakefield still dont kick off at the same time, so why move the Salford fixture anyway ![CRAZY d040.gif](images/smilies//d040.gif)

Yeah I only realised that after. Having not seen the Wakefield win on tv, as I was travelling back from Hull, that fact had missed me by.

Salford, presumably. Who else could be reasonably expected to pay?

Why? All they have done is excercise a contractural right to televise the game. A right they have already paid for once.

| Shame for the Salford players and fans, traditionally the last home match of the season is where the players thank the fans for their support for the season by doing the lap of honour, altough they could still do it at Leigh, would you expect the Bulls players to do it in the south of France?

| Surely the distance from Salford to Leigh is minimal. If supporters are using this as an excuse not to go to the match then they should be ashamed of themselves.

Well to be honest yes it is their perogative, but I think that it would be reasonable of sky to help out with any costs incurred by the Salford club due to the move seeing as it for Sky's benefit. I mean what can it cost after ticket sales? Whatever it is then it will be a drop in the ocean for sky, but a significant cost to Salford.

| Quote: Wellsy13 "Who has priority at the stadium?
At the KC, it's whoever's season started first. Should a City and FC game clash in August-October, we have priority. February-May, they have priority.
Moving it to Leigh when they could have had the game at a different time is shocking planning on Sky's part.'"
Exactly how it should work should the problem arise, but the problem should never arise.
RFL are planning fixtures for Super League. They ask the teams in joint stadia when their ground is unavailable. They don't put them down to play at home.
FA are planning fixtures for football season. They ask when teams in joint stadia can't play at home. They don't play at home.
Basically, it should be treated as though two teams in the same sport are playing at the same ground (like when Crystal Palace and Wimbledon shared, or indeed Saints and Widnes). It isn't rocket science.

I'll be going, but it's going to take me the best part of 2 hours each way on the bus from where I live.
