| Quote ="wrencat1873"Just a small point, 8th spot is now only possible for Bradford or Wakefield and although there is a theoretical possibility of Wakefield acheiving the same points as Huddersfield, they would still be miles adrift on points difference.
Incidentally, the two games Catalans vs Bradford and Salford vs Wakefield still dont kick off at the same time, so why move the Salford fixture anyway

Yeah I only realised that after. Having not seen the Wakefield win on tv, as I was travelling back from Hull, that fact had missed me by.

Salford, presumably. Who else could be reasonably expected to pay?

Why? All they have done is excercise a contractural right to televise the game. A right they have already paid for once.

| Shame for the Salford players and fans, traditionally the last home match of the season is where the players thank the fans for their support for the season by doing the lap of honour, altough they could still do it at Leigh, would you expect the Bulls players to do it in the south of France?

| Surely the distance from Salford to Leigh is minimal. If supporters are using this as an excuse not to go to the match then they should be ashamed of themselves.

Well to be honest yes it is their perogative, but I think that it would be reasonable of sky to help out with any costs incurred by the Salford club due to the move seeing as it for Sky's benefit. I mean what can it cost after ticket sales? Whatever it is then it will be a drop in the ocean for sky, but a significant cost to Salford.

| Quote ="Wellsy13"Who has priority at the stadium?
At the KC, it's whoever's season started first. Should a City and FC game clash in August-October, we have priority. February-May, they have priority.
Moving it to Leigh when they could have had the game at a different time is shocking planning on Sky's part.'"
Exactly how it should work should the problem arise, but the problem should never arise.
RFL are planning fixtures for Super League. They ask the teams in joint stadia when their ground is unavailable. They don't put them down to play at home.
FA are planning fixtures for football season. They ask when teams in joint stadia can't play at home. They don't play at home.
Basically, it should be treated as though two teams in the same sport are playing at the same ground (like when Crystal Palace and Wimbledon shared, or indeed Saints and Widnes). It isn't rocket science.

I'll be going, but it's going to take me the best part of 2 hours each way on the bus from where I live.

Less distance between FC and KR. I'm sure if you ever had to play a home game on the other side of the city you'd be perfectly happy with that.

Fair play for totally missing the point, if Salford were away to Leigh in a Cup Tie there would not be 4,000 or so Salford fans there so why would you expect everyone who would have gone to the game at Salford to want to go to watch it on another ground???
If no one turns up Sky are to blame not those who decide to stay away for whatever reason and there is only one set of people who should be ashamed of themselves, the decision makers at Sky TV.
