Maybe worth asking Sky Sports as they aren't streaming any game Monday and Swinton and Featherstone can get all Season Ticket holders in, so any Bulls Season Ticket holder who is unable to attend wouldn't of been able to watch the game on Monday, now its on the 6th June the streaming option is available, streaming was offered as part of Season Ticket if unable to attend.

Simple, sky allowed it then, won’t allow it this week. Presumably there were several games planned for Monday which would have taken greater numbers from sky game. Let’s be honest, if sky have a controlling contract, they can one week, and not the week after, if they want to

Simple really. The Saints game was a Challenge cup game.
The challenge cup is broadcast under a completey different broadcast contract to Superleage games.

Seemed a bit silly planning to play on a Monday anyway. I understand they want to get gate receipts coming in again but can’t see a massive gate (even for first game we’re able to attend in a year), when most people have work or school following day. factoring in extra time to travel dewsbury It would mean not getting home till 11pm on a weeknight.

Think the theory was enough people would have gone even on a Monday night, surely? After a year away from rugby I think they would have got >1000

We haven't got a physical ticket yet though have we? Obviously this is due to the knotty problem of Odsal coming back into the reckoning, but (seating) tickets can't be issued until it's sorted, so it puts even more pressure on.

How many of those would actually be paying though?. It’s been mentioned we still have a four figure number of season tickets who all have to be allocated a spot out of whatever restricted attendance we’re allowed. So might only be scope for a few hundred actual ticket sales against whic club has to factor in extra costs of opening ground.

The simple answer is we have more seasons ticket holders than would be available to be admitted to watch the game if it was played at Dewsbury.

The club have made the best decision available to them and Newcastle should be congratulated with agreeing to the request to move this fixture for a second time.

Totally agree decision made is best option. Wasn't a good decision to move it to the Monday in the first place though.
