Quote: Pieman "But the club could have requested that they remain on the Friday due to selling so many tickets and move the other game. After all we have launched a massive marketing campaign and sold over 2000 tickets.'"
Normally Sky would have left our game on Friday and have put Wire v Saints on the Saturday. Updating my
rltv pagerl I can tell you that it is rare that a match gets moved from a Friday, unless the two games they want to show are both originally down for Friday. It's those that continue to play on Sunday's that are buggered about more.
But the reason they've done it the other way round for this is that Sky want Wire v Saints on Sky 3D as well and they can only accommodate that on the Friday (I think they have Live Speedway from Cardiff on the Saturday). There was no way they could shift the speedway so it's one of those things. It's could just be a one off problem but if they increase Sky 3D coverage it could prove a regular problem because they only have 1 3D channel compared to 4 Sky Sports Channels. Only time will tell.
