What a nothing game Salford v Bradford would be to kick it off as well. If Salford get off to a bad start then a lot of home fans may have lost interest and Bradford fans haven't been travelling in any great numbers over the last few seasons. They'd try and hype it on Sky then the cameras would cut to an empty stadium, brilliant advert for the sport!

Another case of Rugby League fans never being happy!, it's unfortunate for the people who have to travel a long way to see home games, but realistically, how many home games on sky would we be playing on a monday night? I can't see it being a massive amount. and wheres the difference between travelling to leeds on a friday night or a monday night??... lets scrap friday night games too!... It's a good oppurtunity to show live rugby league on sky sports 1 at a time when theres not gonna be much else to compete with for viewers, the games might end up being played infront of lower crowds. but if viewing figures go up then ultimately that can be a good thing right? and give us good reason to get more money in any future tv deals? at the end of the day where would super league even be without sky?

One glaringly obvious difference between travelling on a Friday and a Monday is that people have work and those with kids have school on a Tuesday, but not on a Saturday. You might not get home til after midnight and if it's on tele anyway it will definitely put people off. Fair enough Sky pay the money but we still need fans on the terraces!

Yeh i get your point. I'd normally be in work first thing on a saturday morning so it doesn't make a difference for me, but it will for some like you say. Anyway, I'll give it a chance and see how it goes before I start knocking it. Who knows, the crowds might not be as disastrous as people are expecting.

Our first Monday night game will be hull away, if we get really lucky London away!
I think we need to give it a go, anything that will get more sky money in for the clubs will be a good thing.

That's because you're a Brigantes and you think you're better than the rest of us

Gong head-to-head with PL football? A ratings disaster.

It's going to be after the football season finishes.

So the season will start with Saturday games, then transfer to Monday? I can't see the games sponsors being overly happy.

I remember going to watch them on Christmas Day a few times many years ago.
