Obviously this game is on because it's 2nd vs 3rd, but Sheffield play us(Halifax) at home that Thursday anyway which means Sky seem to have actually gone out of their way to annoy people on this occasion when there was no need

Looking at the Sky Sports Website the game between Barrow & Widnes has been re scheduled for Thursday 13th August 7:30 pm !!!!!

That ruins any chance of a bumper crowd !

I know, there's bugger all Barrow fans, and Widnesians can watch it on TV.

Don't get too carried away.

Apart from the Haven derby game where 3,202 attended, our next 2 biggest home games have been televised matches - in the NR Cup against Fev 2,800-ish and against Toulouse 2,500-ish.

Barrow took a few hundred to Widnes on a Friday night which is just as inconvenient. As long as Widnes bring a few hundred there'll be a 3,000 crowd for sure.

All publicity for clubs at our level is good publicity. We HAVE to keep the Championship on Sky - for league profile, sponsorship and kudos. The RFL just have to lobby them to show the matches on a Sunday night instead.
