Get over it. Giants have changed fixtures for town and town for Giants over the years. If town were to get in to the Premier League then that would benefit the area and the Giants. They share the same stadium, offices and quite a lot of the fan base and hopefully some of that winning mentality and professionalism would rub off onto us.

Obviously l have to plan ahead, and this does not affect me, this time, but if it does and l have laid out for flights etc, no more season ticket for me. if 2 games cannot be played on concecutive days, the groundsmen should get down to the job.

Can't ever recall a town game being moved because Fartown suddenly thought they were the dogs Gonads and wanted pampering and extra day for the pitch to recover mate, i know it's easy for you to say get over it being a big town fan but not all of us are and i couldn't give a flying one how well town are doing (we usually take points of them anyway) nor what league they are in, it bothers me that Fartown fans have to be inconvenienced when it's hard enough for us to get people in as it when for 20+ years we've had Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun fixtures without a problem till Town suddenly decide they're more important cos they are finally having a good season.

Exactly. It's great that the 2 clubs are now working together after a previously fractured relationship. Hopefully this leads to a lot more mutual cooperation, joint marketing ventures and people wandering over from the roundball game to realise what a great product RL is, and what a good club The Giants are.

I can't recall town moving a game for giants for any reason...

town had a say on the workington game going ahead so suppose we have returned the favour , just a bigger one!

the hull fc game prob on the thurs and not the sunday due to short turnaround the week after..player welfare and all that.

is town doing well really good for the giants??? i think it will make it harder for us to attract new fans to rugby league when football is already king in this town.

the premiership is there for town though at the moment and money talks ...and its big money so if they do reach the promised land then we best get used to it.

if they do then it will help the hd one project big time too....

.

I fall into the positive camp on this one. A good, cooperative relationship between the Giants and Town can only be good in my opinion. So we have had to concede this time but hey they now owe us. Let's hope that both can be as successful as possible.

Well i'm sceptical, i think now they've seen how we have just accepted it they will expect it every time.

If both clubs want a good relationship maybe the football side may want to issue an apology to the rugby side and in particularly Ken Davy for the absolute vile stuff that was thrown about a few years ago, which, as SG as already mentioned, was encouraged and commended by their Chairman !.

For years we've been equals in the stadium , let's not become their puppets all of a sudden.

I don't think that's true tbh Daz. I've been to many Q&A's with Dean Hoyle and he's been asked a number of questions re Davy, and he never once commended any form of abuse or anything I'd class as "vile". Not to my recollection anyway.

its not even a fixture clash though....

its just giving the ground staff 1 extra day to sort the grass out!!

so in future if town play a game one day after us this could mean we have to move every game to two days!!!

could be very bad for us not having a regular game day, after all the publicity of making friday nights giants night....
