The reply.
Whilst your frustration at the change of venue for the Stobart Super League Round 27 fixture, Salford City Reds v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats is understandable, please be assured that it is not the case that ‘no consideration was given to supporters.’
The scheduling of televised Super Leaguer fixtures can sometimes create thorny issues, not least in the latter half of the season when matches are selected because of their relevance to the race for the play-offs/the battle for the League Leaders Shield etc.
This is further complicated when the matches involve host clubs who do not have full ownership of their home venue. However there have been very few instances where a club has had to find an alternative venue due to broadcast requirements, but unfortunately it can happen – the last time was three years ago when Wigan Warriors switched a play-off fixture against Bradford Bulls to the Stobart Stadium in Widnes.
Where possible, the RFL and Sky Sports work closely with the Super League clubs to minimise disruption to supporters. An example of Sky being flexible came last year when a play-off tie involving Wigan was rescheduled from Saturday evening to Sunday because Wigan Athletic were using the DW Stadium on the Saturday.
However in this case, circumstances combined to mean that no such switch was possible: Sky Sports could not create a Sunday slot for the Salford v Wakefield fixture and it would be unrealistic to expect them to televise the match on Friday in place of Wigan v St Helens, a match at which the home club will be presented with the League Leaders’ Shield.
The RFL, Sky and Salford have been aware of the potential conflict since it became clear that the final play-off positions could be determined this weekend and the City Reds were advised to have contingencies in place.
The sport’s relationship with its broadcast partner is an important one: contrary to some claims, Sky Sports are not a dictatorial partner, far from it. The company enjoys strong, healthy relationships with all member clubs.
It is worth remembering that the 14 Super League clubs receive on average £1.2m per year as their share of the competition’s broadcast contract. That is a significant and important investment for all clubs.
Also, Saturday’s match will be the third ‘home’ fixture involving Salford City Reds to be televised by Sky Sports – compared to supporters of some other clubs, the disruption caused by changes to Salford fixtures for broadcast reasons in 2012 has been minimal. |

Great point I have to agree.
Like I've said before, our soul has.been sold so expect more fixtures at LSV if we ever reach the playoffs.
The situation we find ourselves in this week, was it on Early Baths list of POSITIVES of Sale moving in. |

| Considering the endless whining about everything to do with the new stadium, I'm surprised some of you didn't throw a party when the Leigh venue switch was announced!  |

It makes sense not to move the Wigan v St Helens game. Moving this fixture would disrupt or create more problems than the Salford v Wakefield game.
It's not Sky's fault we share a stadium with Sale. Sky have acted well within their rights here. Especially with 3 weeks notice and some supporters still accuse Sky.
If Sky proceeded with the blubber's of BP, there's more potential for creating more upheaval for themseleves. Why attempt to damage your own viewing figures to appease a mere 3000 Salford spectators. Disrupting the Wigan v St Helens obviously create's more damage to Sky hence the decision. Get over it
Sorry but it's a no brainer imo

Why ?
Because the decision to upset 3000 people rather than 20 odd thousand and a whole lot more viewers....

Interesting that Sale's media bod (and ex RL media bod) Dave Swanton was fairly vocally blaming the situation on the RFL on GMR earlier.

That was from John Ledger from the RFL, I`m assuming by your post you get the same reply from Sky.
