If I was paying 1.2 million a year then I'd want a say in what happens. Moral... You can't have your cake and eat it. Stop moaning.

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. |

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try

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
I got exactly the same reply, pretty much word for word.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

| 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.

While John Ledger could`nt wait to bugger off when he was questioned about the timing of our game and that of the Cats V Bradford game. |
