Batley programme said rfl had said game to be played fri as next game in play-off would be following thurs.That means rfl have actually realised that one team will have week and one only 4 days turnround if played on sun.

RFL have been supporting Fridays for the week 2 game for several years, in fairness. Barrow played Sheffield on Friday last year. Can't remember what happened the year before ..........

Seems obvious to me. Glad you've eventually realised your error.

Is this what you want, or what you have heard???? If it is what you have heard, where have you heard it??

I have emailed the RFL to find out when it is going to be. The whole season has been all over the place fixture wise due to Sheffields ground issues, I hope they have a permanent home next year where the fixtures can be fair, Play everyone one half of the season and everyone the second half of the season, allowing the natural ebb and flow of consistency to not effect the league tables too much unlike this year.

Subject: Sheffield Eagles v Halifax

Dear RFL

Sorry to disturb you on a Sunday afternoon.

Any chance of releasing the date/time/venue for this match? A week is a long time in politics but in Rugby League it flies by in the blink of an eye. At the moment, I can only speculate when the match might be and if I may draw your attention to your own feedback on Halifax RLFC’s license submission; it reads:
“……figures presented by the club as the budget and performance forecasts for the 2012-14 License period were speculative and the club did not provide sufficient information”

I know what you mean – annoying isn’t it?

Would appreciate it if you could come up with at least a plan as to when this match takes place, given that there’s only seven days left to choose.

Thanks

Just seen this...awesome ha ha!

like what happened with whithaven the other year,the kicked up a fuss and would not play friday night when we had home advantage,,,

Aye, I'm not suggestion it's not happened before and obviously there's a rule/precedent which is why Halifax have ask to have it changed (or at least been allowed to put their input in). It's just in my humble opinion that the Home team should just decide hence it being a Home 'advantage'.

Halifax have done nothing wrong at all in asking. There's a rule stating you can put a request in just as much as there is you can strip the ball one-on-one and run down the field and score. All part of the game.

The bit that beggars belief is why the hell they would want only a 3 day rest before playing the bissest game of the season for either team and what that would mean lots more money to the club. Totally Bizarre !!!! They have picked and chosen when and where to play this season....Enough is enough !!

But

The RFL say that the game should be played by Saturday, not Halifax.
