How come the HKR away game is on a Friday?

I noticed in the second half there were 250 people watching

It seems like Sunday SL games are becoming a thing of the past, which is a real shame. IIRC we only had one scheduled for the 23 pre split games this season. Must be hurting away followings. Personally I can only do trips across the Pennines at a weekend. Thursday or Friday can't happen unless I take time off work and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of others.

Because we play on Thursday the following week.

Are you THE Bilko off t' radio?

It's a proper double whammy for supporters wanting to go to games that! As if Thirsday nights weren't bad enough you've now got to get to Hull on a Friday night so there's enough rest time in between (which I agree there has to be).

No wonder crowds are dying on their backside! I'm going to both because they've tempted me to make the effort with cheap tickets but even that's worrying. Is the TV deal good enough to subsidise these cheap tickets in a regular basis? I doubt it.

I'd like to get to more games, but I seem to find fewer and fewer that are feasible. I'm booked in for our rare Saturday fixture in the Cup, and that's about it for June.

July a bit more promising, though.

Yes. I've been on these forums the past 17 Years!

I think the clubs are regretting this TV deal. It must be harming Wigan badly because I know quote a few who are now struggling to attend games. My friend wants to bring her nephew to a match but the options in an afternoon both home and away are almost non existent.

Re: Hull KR. Saturday wouldn't have been too bad.

I suppose Friday night games do disenfranchise those who live miles away. Thursdays & Mondays are the real issue with work or school the day after. But the 12-14k who trot up regardless are the only ones the club is really bothered about. It's a good 2 hour trek by road from the east coast, but the 'ulls send a decent number over (what Hudd's excuse is I still can't work out) and the wendyballers have to put up with much worse.
Paradoxically, with the pathetic deal the RFL did with Sky, it's even more galling that they are allowed to mess us about and dictate game time in the way they do, but aside from having a whinge about it every other week there's bgr-all we can do.

Speaking of which, what's happened to the online commentary on tonight's game?

They apologised on Twitter, they've had issues and can't broadcast it.

You don't want to listen it's sounds awful from us
