| This really is taking the p!ss. I accepted an invite for a do on the Saturday in the knowledge that the game was on the Sunday.
It's been said before that the club don't make any more money from being on Sky, so why do they have to bow down to them.
All the money spent on the marketing of this 'Homecoming' game for a Sunday afternoon with a decent family incentive and that goes out of the window.
The club are turning themselves into a laughing stock!
Giant's Homecoming - thousands spent on marketing, along come Sky, attendance 5000!
Not happy

| Less than a fortnight before the game?
Is this Murdoch's way of starting to get back at the British public?
The RL ought to start standing up to Sky.
However, in response to GiantMisterE, this has absolutely nothing to do with the club. They have no say in the matter - apart from having a single vote at the RL. They have to do what Sky tells them.

Why not though?? They must have spent a few bob on marketing this and with it being on Sky (on a Saturday evening) they will probably end up losing money in a stadium a quarter full (at best).
Surely, Sky can't demand we play on a different day. What happens during the football season if Town had have been at home?
I think that there were plans to get some local junior teams to play as well either before or during half-time (again, to attract parents). How many of these clubs are going to be able to put teams out on a Saturday night??

| Just shows Sky's contempt for RL, especially Fartown. Hemmings will be loving it. I booked the Sunday off work, as it stands now I can't make the game. Typical. Will have to juggle workload again.

I agree with you, mate.
I imagine part of the terms that clubs agree to for their sky cash handout is that sky can change dates and kick off times at their leisure.
Match attending fans and the inconvenience these things cause will get little if any consideration.

| This is so out of order, 12 days notice! I feel for you guys, considering the "homecoming" marketing etc, and the ticket deal etc. I was due to go to Rovers this week and get our tickets, but we won't be coming now as we have plans for Saturday night.
Is there any other sport that would allow tv to screw them over at this notice? I doubt it.

| Complete beep joke.
We are a family club who have all our games re arranged so families cannot attend.
My kids have been to hardly any games this season which causes me a lot of hassle as part of my arrangement with my wife is that i can go to away games if i take the kids to home games so she has some rest at a weekend.
I cannot take them to evening KOs.
I will not now be attending this game.
The club are getting royally shafted and need to take it up with the RFL
Why we are going to be on SKY is beyond me as even most of our fans dont want to watch us at the minute let alone the viewing public.

| I thought they had deadlines for making announcements like this, thought it was at least two weeks. Could be worse- think of all the rhinos fans who forked out hundreds to go to Catalan only for sky to change it to a Sunday evening after most people had booked flights home!!
