Does anyone know what's on Friday night that they are shifting our games for? If it's boxing, no major fight will ever start before 10.30 meaning a 7.45 kick off is fine. From what I've seen over recent weeks Friday night seems to be "Premier League Years" where United didn't cruise it, a bit of volleyball and repeats of the cricket. Oh and darts, but that is a niche audience if ever there was one.
Super League is the second most watched league (tv-wise) in the UK, I'd understand having games on Thursday if they were addition to Friday, Saturday and Sunday fixtures but it's just being dropped.
And following the theme of this message board, I doubt I'll renew, taking into account the offers (such as the Hudds game) they put on and the huge availablity of tickets there really isn't any point in signing yourself up to Thursday games that a) you'll struggle to make and b) will be on Sky.

The problem is that like myself plenty of rugby fans also watch cricket, football, union etc etc'"
Plus if there is a mass cancellation, and thus lower viewing figures, RL becomes worth less to any broadcaster in 2016, Sky could offer less and everyone else could follow suit. A way to stop it would be to not watch the games on Thursdays on tv, if a lot of people did that (I doubt they would) then Sky might see it doesn't work and revert to Fri/Sat/Sun. |

It's not the cost (loss of games attended) of the season tickets thats the problem with us its the amount of time off work required to attend widweek matches 2 days (min 1.5) per match unless i drive home after match (400 mile round trip) and start work at 5
If I was in your shoes I'd be picking and choosing my matches.

We dont want to become part time supporters . Love the game and Wigan RL in particular too much . But sadly it might have to come to that or even worse . |

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.

Joking apart, the picking and choosing matches is gonna have to be the option, ive started doing it this season but purely down to the lack of entertainment at 60% of home matches.
You may not want to become a part time fan but lets be honest, whether its the rfl, sky or wigan's fault you and the folk that travel distances like you do are getting pi55ed on and theres only so many times you can tolerate it..
see you at wembley then  |

Hopefully the change in structure will help bring some if the crowds back. With only 12 teams the standard should increase and with a top 6 playoff, finishing in the top 2 becomes very important again, especially finishing top with it guarenteeing a home semi with a home semi 2nd chance if you lose the first.
