Barrow game on Sky : Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:50 am  

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 !

Correct, you will be lucky to get 10 from Widnes for that one given the driving distance.

Better news for me that seeing as though I am on nights on the Sunday. Still won't make the game as I'm on days and finish at 7 on the Thursday.

Utterly rubbish decision by Sky. Puts paid to any plans we for going and I was well looking forward to a trip to Barrow.

So the questio once again is

Is the SKY thursday night slot worth it ?

Bizzare, absolutely barmy. Dont understand the logic behind SKY's desicion to show championship games on a thursday night. Its such a disruptive night to expect away fans to travel miles and miles to away grounds on working nights. Saturday or Sunday night, i imagine you guys would have traveled up in 2000's/3000's, and we would certainly pull in an equal amount. such a shame really.

I am a Leigh fan , and enjoyed my visit on Sunday [ apart from the rugby of course ] , but I do question the benifit of the thursday night matches to the Championship clubs and the competition itself

If we dont question something how will we ever truly realise its benifits or decise what could be done better to improve things or even better options for the clubs

Totally agree. Whenever you switch on to watch a game on thursday nights and see the away ends virtually empty, it puts a downer on the whole game.
