Surely if its a home game its going to be Thursday due to no games being allowed on the pitch 24 hours before a premiership match.

What about the stadum being bookked in case we had a home tie that weekend, I thought we had first dibs on matches.

Says who?

I always thought that was the rule and I know we have had problems with it in the past as have Pies

In any case can anyone seeing uncle Allam letting us cut up HIS picth up the night beofre his Tiggers take on Cardiff, I will not even mention all the strange green sprayed out RL markings left on the pitch.

Does that mean we are back to Sundays next season? Not mentioned in the Season Pass Brochure

We played Friday nights in 2009 and 2010 when City where last in the Premiership.

Friday night matches played when city are away

Think it will be Thursday in the event of a home tie.

Fair enough, don't want another change. Do the RFL assist in trying to make our fixtures fit in with City?

Thurs or Fri, think the Premier League would have a problem preventing us playing on a Friday as a "one off" when we are joint tenants.

SKY own premiership football and superleague. Us and city will do as we are told

Its not them thats the real problem is it

Allam will stick his 2p worth in

With all their injuries and a 4 day turn around CS will hang himself.

If City's game is on 3pm Saturday then it won't be on Sky as Saturday 3pm kickoffs can't be shown live on British TV (most lower league games kickoff at this time and it was thought that it would dissuade people from attending those games and supporting lower leagues if PL games were on at the same time). It will, however, be shown live elsewhere around the world. Sky won't have any involvement in the scheduling of the City game, only our game if we get a home playoff.

I really wouldn't want to play Rovers in the play offs, they always raise their game massively against us. The victory at craven park was a lot closer than the score line suggested for me, two or three moments of brilliance from Holdsworth and Shaul created some outstanding tries, but as we have seen this season, these moments are few and far between. We always seem nervous when we play them, like in the game at the KC, as if the players feel the extra pressure cause they know the fans want to beat them so badly. But with Rovers it's almost like they having nothing to lose, because they are always the underdog.

This is exactly what I think. Would much rather play Catalans (Home hopefully, but likely to be away because can't see Warrington sending a decent team to France)

We have a reasonable record in France generally and I would assume temperatures would have fallen a bit since we were last there.
