Now you see why I don't buy a season ticket any more.
Bull shat all ready from the RFL who said pre split games were locked in.

Well that's me missing the game now. Saturday is my busy day.

And if Man Utd are playing, down will go the attendance further.

Lmao this is going to upset the keep it sunday brigade.

To be fair they have given 3 months notice and it looks like Salford have requested the change so its out of the clubs hands.

Salford requested it because their next game is the following thursday.So are they going to complain when the easter fixtures come around, Rfl rules stipulate players should get a 5 day rest when possible.

Salford player welfare to be considered fair enough, but we have Wakefield home April 12th then Wigan away Thursday 16th, will the Wakefield fixture be changed because of the five day turnaround rule? The other Sunday games seem secure, as Karetaker says let's ignore Easter.

Plenty of notice, United are away I think at West Ham that weekend and I might have to have a beer or two to celebrate a happy new season. As you say "Ave It"

Thank God this change is not SKY's fault. Otherwise there would have been a proper moan on this site. Mind you it's a shame ... I prefer Sundays.

I quite enjoy the fixture changes, just to see how much it p*sses people off. It's nearly three months away, I'm sure most of us don't have something planned for that day that can't be changed.

Saturday afternoon kick off sounds good to me, few scoops in town before/after. Make a proper day of it.

I suppose it's ok when you have a job / lifestyle where it enables you to attend the game whenever it is. Not everyone is that lucky, some don't live in the town others do shift work.
I sympathise with those who can't make it, as a Wire fan I want as many fans as possible to be in the stadium supporting the team.
I certainly don't enjoy seeing how much it p#sses people off.

Well said Mickey

Plenty of notice for this so NO ONE can complain. Those saying they're glad they haven't bought a ST, shame on you.

Player welfare > a handful of grumpy fans.

Bring it on, I can get plastered now without having to worry about work in the Morning.

Well I'm going to the WCC games(all 3)
If we make Wembley I'll go to that
Any playoff games and a GF if we make it and that's it for me.
A year off will do me good.

I myself haven't read any post about some grumpy fans being "glad" about that!?

Have you ever tried using public transport in Warrington on a Sunday?

I'm not really sure what someone could be doing on a dull Saturday in February which can't be rearranged with three months notice. I say that to as someone who spent three years making a 200 odd mile round trip on the train to watch Wire every week for three years.

Taking a Saturday off to me is like most people taking a week of work to without pay.

Why do you enjoy it Pal?

I work shifts and get my shifts 12 months in advance, so as soon as the fixtures come out in November I have to plan my leave at work to watch as many games as I can. I work every other weekend & I'm working the weekend of the Salford game but managed to get the Sunday afternoon off by swapping a shift with someone else. I now have to go back to them ask if I can cancel the Sunday & ask if they will work the Saturday afternoon instead.

I love watching the Wire & move heaven and earth with my shifts to be able to go to as many games as possible.

We all have different circumstances and not everyone can make games when they are switched its night games for us, we struggle with having to travel over an hour sometimes even longer depending on the traffic. So this year I'm afraid no season tickets gutted but will only be doing non-televised games. Does seem strange when the fixtures have only been out a few weeks and changes already, as usual they will do what they want. Surely this should have been sorted before fixtures were released

"RFL rules stipulate that players require a 5 day turnaround between games where possible, therefore pushing our season opener one day forward to the Saturday".

Presumably this rule was already in place when the fixtures were decided - how can this have been overlooked? And how can they ignore this for the Easter fixtures if it's such an issue?

Personally doesn't affect me, and I prefer Saturday games (as rare as they are) as they I think they feel like more of an occasion. If you're missing the opener....unlucky.

I go regardless to when the game is scheduled but would like the fixtures to be as consistent as possible, as said earlier this game has been missed with regards to the welfare point, Easter also ignored as has our Sunday home Wakefield game prior to our away fixture at Wigan the following Thursday.

Had the fixture been arranged for Friday no change would have been required, I prefer Sunday games but perhaps a move to Fridays although not ideal would cause fewer changes, less disruption could help the long term planners.

As long as there's plenty of notice for changes, it's all good for me. Friday Saturday or Sunday. I'm in work too late on Thursdays to make a game but at weekend, with plenty of notice, I'm happy with any day.

This is more than enough notice.

Mersey derby that weekend which could easily be the Saturday, Sunday or Monday night and I don't know my shifts at work yet so I could easily be working the Saturday, Sunday or neither.

Basically I'll go the Wires match if I can. I'm no more or less likely to be able to attend due to this change so not bothered either way.

No matter what day the game is played someone is always going to be disappointed. Just accept it and stop moaning. Some people like Sunday afternoons, I can't stand them. Doesn't stop me going though. Like many have said. You have three months to sort it out, if you can't. Tough toenails, thems da brakes. Unlucky G, one of dem tings. Stop crying about it.
