If I have it right we play next weekend, final positions of the normal comp are sorted, think the wed of that week the dates and fixtures are released, and it's a weekend off, so we will know a week on wed who we have when with the first game being played weekend of Aug.
Let's hope we play Catalan in sept, more chance of a hotel room

Done it mate.

On the positive side, the RAH rah boys fixtures are on Saturdays so unlikely to have to worry, can possibly see a fri night game coming on though, just to please sky

We are in the hands of the RFL and Sky. Apparently the fixtures are drawn and Sky will select the games that which to televise and when they will be played.

Well sky cannot force us to play on a day when the pitch is not available

Jon Sharp sacked by Fev, odd.

Strange decision and timing, they are in middle8's for god's sake!

Sky will identify the games they wish to cover, for the first four rounds of Middle 8 fixtures. At some point they will decide which games they wish to televise for the following rounds. The only game that for certain that they will show is the MPG. The RFL WILL accommodate Sky.
.

Does not matter what SKY want there are some Saturdays that we cannot play at home, hence my suggestion that we might end up with a Fri night game if sky want to televise our game.
The Fev situation us very odd, maybe they told him that he was not getting a contract next year so he just said well ram it then.
Anyone thinking bradfurt could be saved by Swindon, apparently they gave to raise 100k by the end of the week. If they go down the tubes gives Bradford a champ spot lifeline

I do not think anything The Swindon Rugby League team do will have any influence on Bradford Bulls. That is Swindon St George. The one in Wiltshire.
Now Swinton Lions, thats different. The ones near Manchester.

They weren't going to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the season. Gives the new guy, who may be appointed this week, time to assess the current squad and build for next season with players he wants.

Having played for Swindon and having a Bessie mate who was on swintons books I do know the difference, you know what I meant.
