There are two things that annoy me about this,

From the point of view of the club loads of our home matches are being televised which costs the club money

Secondly, i cannot take the kids to the game which means that trying to get them interested is much harder. I attend games with the kids to do it as a family this is just a pain

Bugger, I'm on holiday then - arranged to come back on the Saturday so that I wouldn't miss the bloody game!

Should be a great game for TV though and, while it is annoying to change at such short notice, sky do pay a good amount of money for the coverage.

Do they pay a set amount regardless of the number of games televised?

Still, Sky isn't all bad. I bet a lot of people who 'like' the giants but don't really support them/go to the matches will watch it. With a win, these are the sort of people who could be entertained enough to actually come down to watch a game who otherwise would have just seen a score in a newspaper.

We'll probably play like crap and get our a4ses kicked as well though!

Sky game, home, Friday night. Fewer Hull KR fans coming, fewer home fans coming. It's just a top one all round.

I just hope we break our duck for Sky games at home this season.
