The HULL KR away game scheduled for Sky on Friday 22 March at 2000hrs has been moved to the Sunday 24th March with a 18:15 Kick off

Also the Bulls v Cas game on Sat feb 16 has had its kick off moved back to 16:45 instead of 17:45 .

Strange KO time for the Bulls game.

Is it really that much of a big deal for a game on a Saturday to be moved from 17:45 to 16:45?
Also, moving the HKR game to a Sunday makes it easier for fans to get to the game, rather than having to negotiate the M62 on a Friday night after a hard day at work?

It is a big deal if you have pre-booked train tickets from London for the saturday game

its also a big deal if we are schedule to be televised and then the games put back to Sunday, live games are good for the sponsors, so unless its still going to be televised, are shirt sponsors loose out

im guessing the game is still televised anyway with the kick off time on sunday otherwise it woul be 3pm??

It is Sky who've moved the kick off times as the games are on SKY!!!

They were just waiting for us to put out the fixture planner Del...

With the greatest of respect mate Might not seem like it but for those unfortunates like me who work weekends 12 hr shifts its a bit of a big deal , for instance i work t'other side of Bradford so would have to ask my boss if i was ok to finish at 17:15 to get showered etc and go straight to match.With this new time i'll be very lucky if they'll let me finish at 16:15 (2 hrs before im due to finish) .
As for the Hull Kr game i was off the friday im now on days sunday so theres no way i can get there let alone ask em for more time , I suppose im not the only one though ,I just wish the s who supposedly run the game would think about the fans who need to plan their lives around these fixtures.

It happens year, after year, after year, at the end of the day SKY aren't bothered about who can go, & who will have to mis out, SKY don't cater for the people who use the turnstiles, there biggest concern is the people who sit on the settee with the remote firmly fixed to there hand, the more people who press the 401 buttons the better in there eyes, but thats the business there in and with out them most sports would be on there backsides, but constant fixture changes isn't good for the fans who pay at the gates

The fixtures changes are made several months in advance so there is plenty of notice for fans. Had it been on the Sunday when it was originally announced would it have made a difference, probably not.
