Apparently our game against Wakey is now 6.00pm this Saturday, small problem Sky....Sale kick off at 4.30 on the same day in the same stadium.

They have just announced it again now. Shambles. Will be moved to Sunday I presume? When was the game originally scheduled for, Friday night?

Do a double header like Quins RU and RL did.



A few markings need changing, both sets of fans get tickets for both games. Sale can start a little earlier

When Sky realise I assume they would but this is Sky remember they rule everything, Sales game is on ESPN too so god knows what is gonna happen rumour that we'll be playing it at Leigh if that happens it will be the straw that breaks the camels back, be seriously close to not bothering with the sport anymore. Yes a double header has been mentioned also but ESPN will have all their equipment up etc also the corporates will be a right mess about cause they'll have both Sale and Salford fans to accomodate, the fans bar etc will also be a problem. Not possible at such short notice.

Luke Patten & Martyn Sadler have just tweeted it will be played at Leigh.

Why are sky even allowed to change a game with just 5 days notice, for any club? Absolute joke. Who is running the sport?

You only have to look on our board or Salford's facebook page to realise what this would mean, it would definitely be the nail in the coffin for a lot of the die hards who've been there through the thin and thin. I won't be returning along with several others. I do like the idea one poster came up with; pitch invasions, anti sky banners etc general disruption.

bad planning from sky! why didnt they put salford-wakey friday night and wiggan-saints saturday!?

It's all very well complaining about it, but Sky runs the sport and if they say a game must be played on a certain day, then we have to keep them happy. It's the same in football so don't feel too bad.

Because we've already sold about 17,000 tickets for the Friday.

don't they do refunds in wigan?

*jokes*





fair enough reason

So you think it is acceptable for Sky to switch a game with 5 days notice to a date where the home teams ground is unavailable?
