Certainly not - I agree it's a farce but if it weren't for sky then the game would probably be being played at the willows in front of 3k fans. I'd be frothing if it was gonna happen to Wakey but in reality it's just a pitfall of the game being dependant on a broadcaster - a la the premier league. |

What point is the switch one team will know the result before kick off of the second game so would it make any difference if it stays on Friday night and is on the red button.

| Quote The Original Red Devils="The Original Red Devils"Massive biggie actually. Will sky refund Salford for the loss of corporate revenue etc that the game will produce (Every penny matters for Salford)? It also gives an unfair advantage to wakefield playing on a neutral ground, also the Salford fans and players who will want to play at home for the final game of the season. Something needs to be done, I for one will not renewing by sky subscription should this fixture change happen.'"
I was actually poking a stick at a hornets nest. But once again, our game isn't big enough to play billy big bollax with Sky. Just doff your cap and say thanks. |

Yes but you would assume that they ( SKY ) would check that their designated club had their home stadium available first |

That is absolute madness and for the sake of the game has to be changed or the Sale game moved.

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.

In theory the same system is used. Sale's home fixture was already moved from their usual Friday night slot to work round the pre-existing Salford fixture. It becomes a bit tricky when the new clash comes with 5 days notice and the other game being televised too. |

If Leigh had been at home home on the Friday, SKY could have transfered it to the Shay as we play on Thursday.  |

I don't understand the problem, imagine if you were a Fax fan - 4 days notice for a Thursday when your players have other jobs and you get nowt from the TV company for doing it.

It's nothing new, Sky have moved fixtures at short notice on the last weekend for years. They put enough money into the game to be able to do that. It's not as if they don't move football fixtures at short notice either!

It's a bit of a mess, and as much as I would like to point the finger at Sale and their megalomaniacal plot to drive Salford from the new stadium, the fault here lies squarely with Sky Sports. With a little more foresight, they could have scheduled the games that were going to have a bearing on the top 8 to be played on the Sunday, and either have a red button option, or a Jeff Stelling style rolling score update on all the matches simultaneously.

There's always more than 5 days notice for a switch in football though.
All games on the last weekend should kick off at the same time anyway, then there is no advantage to any team.
