Not sure why this game date change is such a surprise! Told you 1 Sep that it was likely to change in another thread!

The surprise is that they've done it with 5 days notice!

It’s the nature of the 8s! Sky don’t know what games they want to televise, it is a pain but we know it’s likely.
And I did give the hint it was going to happen 2 weeks ago

I can't imagine too many away fans organised their travel on the basis of that.

Looks like they doing double header with Skolars :).. Does this mean we get to see Skolars game for free if we have Broncos Season Ticket?

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

That makes it OK then does it? :CRAZY:

The powers that be really need to be prepared to stand toe to toe with SKY come the next negotiations. It's highly unlikely there'll be more money, but we need to be having discussions around what we get and what we expect from our broadcast partners.....collectively I'd be pushing for 1 FTA game a week and 1 Championship match per week and each club retaining the streaming rights for their non tv games if they decide they want to offer that service.

Still at a loss to see why this is such a shock, broncos are in the mix for a place in the decider, of course they are going to look at putting it on tv. Had Toulouse won at Toronto last week, reckon they would have gone with them, as it is it’s us!

It's not a "shock"......it is a complete disgrace though as is your shrug of the shoulder reaction as opposed to your "'til the death" defense of all referees.

I kicked up such a fuss about the Catalan fiasco that I received an invite to the Parliamentary RL group as well as 3 personal invites from SL chairmen, all of whom I wrote to at the time. I felt it was unacceptable for SKY to move a fixture in France at a cost of Thousands of pounds to our small but loyal supporter base and as such felt that it should never happen again...to my knowledge, it hasn't. I also reiterated that such a fixture switch would never happen to a big club....it still hasn't.
London Broncos RL were blamed for this switch by the RFL, a claim that was quickly withdrawn.....I imagine such a mistake, if about a bigger club would come with a groveling apology.....

I don't "blame" SKY by the way.......I blame the RFL ad the new SL CEO, who both should be making it quite clear that RL is on the market and for sale in a couple of years and we are looking for a diverse broadcast partner or stable of partners who offer not just money, but also exposure.....SKY have served their purpose and thanks for the ride, but we really need to be more than a cheap "filler" for a broadcast partner who is losing market share across the board.....SKY reported a 12% drop in Sports viewers over the last 2 years. They either need to treat us as a valued product or lose us.....and before anyone says "nobody else wants us".....I'd counter that 350,000-500,000 viewers a week on a paid platform for 30 weeks a year will be of interest to someone but we need to learn how to sell it.
