Quote weighman="weighman"I wonder if they have changed the format in C1 for 2017 , as we must be outsiders for promotion.

Have we any other centres available .'"
I would imagine the RFL will be trying to work out how to best accommodate Toronto into the format and that no final decisions will have been made yet on the exact format.
I agree with other posters that it makes it hard to commit to buying a season ticket when fixtures are announced at short notice later in the season when we've probably already got holiday commitments, etc. The value of the season ticket drops for every game missed and it gets to a point where it doesn't make sense to buy one if you're likely to miss two or more games.
I don't think this is a problem that just applies to rugby though. The football Premiership are forever changing dates of matches to fit in with TV schedules, rather than sticking to what's best for fans. They're now moving some games to Friday nights as well as Sundays and Mondays.
The present format to Championship One leaves a lot to be desired without the added problems discussed here.
