They do move other teams around too however it's less challenging geographically bar Perpignan. I know people who have stopped watching Wire as the Friday traffic makes it impossible. Wire shifted to Friday as a result of other teams moving due to the turn around post Sky games disadvantaging them. Bums on seats fans suffer however the simple fact is that without Sky money fully pro RL would never have been played in London. (The two 30's incarnations were semi pro.) If you sup with the devil....
My sympathies to the fans stitched up by this. Been there too. Had one lucky escape too, I'd arranged to stay over in Wakefield the day our match was shifted to a 18.30 kick off on Sunday when travelling by train.
Also I seem to recall the RFL asked Broncos if the were happy for the Perpignan game to shift and they said yes as few fans would travel.....
Incidentally if travelling by car and parking in the big layby near the AJ Bell watch out. One place is opposite a disabled footpath. Hidden under about a foot of mulch you can't see it but traffic wardens turn up every game. Been there done that too!
