Friday night Semi : Sun Jun 28, 2015 5:23 pm  

Why are they playing a semi final on a Friday night? Just seems stupid. I know sky will be showing the match but it doesn't do anything to encourage fans of the clubs or neutrals that may fancy watching the game. I hope the tickets are set at a reasonable price as I am now going to have to take time off work.

Doesn't help matter that the draw is Lancashire-Yorkshire clashes so quite a distance between the teams. You'd expect Huddersfield is nailed on for Leeds-Saints but not as easy to pick a ground for the other, unless they play both at Hudds?

Wrong, neither semi is on Sky.

The BBC are showing the Community Shield on Sunday 2nd August. Arsenal v Chelsea

So a 12.30pm or 5.30pm ko would be understandable to avoid a clash.

Leeds v Saints @ Huddersfield
Wire v Hkr @ Leeds or Doncaster

There is no clash, neither semi final will be played on 2nd Aug.

You saying a Friday night game will be on BBC?

Dumb, good way to decimate the crowd. You really do have to wonder at the RFL sometimes. They'll probably make it the hull KR game and play it at Wigan or Leigh!

Don't see the problem with a Friday night semi. I'm sure most of us have had one
