A colourfully worded email has been sent to the RFL about this (from which i expect no reply). I cant understand why it cant be saturday or sunday as its not on sky. I understand its an RFL byelaw of some kind but i think we deserve a sensibe explanation. Im sure Barrow would have preffered the weekend as well.

No, it's about playing round 3 on Thursday. We would only hav e four days rest if the Barrow game's on Sunday, whereas the opposition would have a full week.

If we'd beat Fev last year, we would have played Widnes on Friday for precisely that reason.

On the other hand, Saturday would have been a decent compromise.

I understand but that's a bit thin. Especially given the distance involved. Surely the "common sense" option should apply?

We'll be going but in the car, I highly doubt that we will get the numbers required to make the coach viable, hope I'm wrong though.

I've seen your dad's car. Surely there's enough room for a couple of dozen extra passengers.

Bugger the car - get on the bus. Or at least, buy some seats.

If we don't get a coach up and you've got some spare seats in your motor, let people know. There could be a lot of disappointed people out there on Friday.

Won't be out of college in time to get on the bus.
