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.

The switch to Monday night televised SKY games has just been confirmed and I am seriously disgruntled by this. If anything the Saturday evening televised games were perfect in terms of getting to game on time and getting home. Now it looks like it will be a case of the mad struggle to get to Friday night games or sitting in watching at home on a Monday night. There is simply no hope of me getting to a Monday night game when I've got work the following morning.
With my luck they will choose the London Broncos away game (the easiest game of the season for me to get to) to show on a Monday night on TV. This, as well as the loss of the Crusaders and the moving of the Magic games to Manchester just means I will get to even fewer games this season. Its almost as if somebody at RFL HQ doesn't like me. (Either that or my wife has been talking to them).

But as a viewer, the Saturday games were a joke last year with kick off times rangeing from 3:15 to 4pm to 4:45pm, 5pm, 5:15pm, 5:45, 6pm, 6:15pm, 7:30pm - not even exaggerting that. Stability helps the game and being on Sky Sports 1 is important ratings wise. So I can see both sides of the argument. As a fan its a p*sser!

I'd guess the players wouldn't be happy at playing twice in five days. More... www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/ja ... day-nights
