Word. Seen people saying they'll boycott but watch it on Sky at home. Defeats the object. If you stay away, listen to it on the radio or follow it online.

| I'll be going with a heavy heart. Any suggestions for the best way for those that go to demonstrate unhappiness with the situation?

| Set fire to the Sky truck.
*Disclaimer. In light of events such as the Twitter Joke Trial, if any humourless people are reading this, that was a joke.

| South Stand tickets are swapped for the North Stand and North Stand tickets are swapped for the South Stand. Can't see any confusion happening there then. At least those that go, and stand, will be able to stand on a decent terrace for a change.

| Banners or such would be the best way to go about it.. Chants against Sky as the Wakefield fans but that would depend on how many Salford fans are there and by the looks of it there won't be many and I am included in this bracket.
I look forward to the Under 20's game Friday anyway and hopefully there will be more fans there then on Saturday.

| It'll be interesting to see if Sky mention the fact everyone is furious they've caused a game to be moved to a neutral ground out of their own self interest. Normally when they've caused a kick off to be shifted they can get away without mentioning it but they surely have to at least mention to the casual viewer why Salford are playing a home game at Leigh.

| The only way they'll take any notice at all is by voting with your feet. Lets be honest the Sky camaras are hardly likely to show any banners which make them look bad are they and they'll just mute any anti-sky chanting. But plenty of empty spaces in the ground will get the point across that you'll not just follow like sheep and shift grounds at such short notice on the whim of a tv company.

| This isn't sky's fault at all. SCR hold their hand out each year and accept the sky monies with nothing said about this dilemma. It's what you get for not owning your own ground.

Sky shifting fixtures a week before is nowt to do with owning your own ground or not. We've have been forced to play on the Saturday if we'd owned Barton or not.
The fact we don't own Barton is a longer term issue and is Salford's fault. The alarming chasm that exists between the fans and the club is Salford's fault as well and needs addressing rapidly.

Totally agree with your 2nd point, however disagree with your 1st. If we owned Barton like we were promised and were sole tenants like we were promised or if we still existed at the willows then sky could change the fixtures every week.

| Of course it's Sky's fault. They give five day's notice of a change of date. I'd bet there was no consultation with Salford. Nobody would have been working at the club late on Sunday night when results meant that the Wakefield fixture was deemed to be the most meaningful of the weekend's fixtures ( after the Saints Wigan game ).
The decision shows a complete disregard for Salford's players fans and those who had booked meals on the Friday. I know of many fans who had booked the meal they were entitled to from their season ticket for the last game and now they've lost it, and others who have not missed a game all season Home or Away who are now forced to miss the game.
The club is doing what it can correctly honouring Car Park passes and promising tickets for the first home game next season for those who can't make it, but it cannot be fair for us to be denied home advantage in our final league fixture because Sky have made a decision that they want to show Wakefield on television.

| Sky pay out the majority of the money to SL clubs so in effect "own" the SL.
They can do what they want and ask games to be moved whether a club and its fans like it or not.
Same happens in the Premier League and even a club as powerful as MUFC cannot stop it.
Empty seats and low viewing figures will maybe, just maybe make them think although with someone like Murdoch running the show I doubt it.
Lets see next week the two clowns on Sky again going on about the greatest game and how everything is fine, whilst we the fans are treated like $hite and clubs are going t1ts up.

Likewise - and an empty wallet,but as I go in support of the players and the coaching staff I will continue to do so,as they are certainly NOT to blame.
Whatever the players think appropriate,in terms of demonstration,I will agree with.
I should point out that the biggest clubs in the game also suffer;it was worse for the followers of the current world champions,a couple of years ago rlStoryrl
Sky will mute/turn the mike off so chants may not be suitable - probably a good thing - as this may be an opportunity to win some friends.Shame the depth of feeling and energy expressed on here and on the Facebook page cannot be used in a positive way for the players.The best I can come up with is a red card protest - holding a red card in the air.
I don't think going into camera view,near the touchline,and turning backs on the play is a good idea so I shall wait for someone intelligent to suggest a suitable protest while I plan how to reach Leigh on Saturday.
