you have no idea.
we spend all season defending our away numbers (let's not get onto home crowds) and when we try to do something (300+ in Wales) SKY go and mess it up.
What people won't know is that the regular away crew purchase super advance tickets to away games (9,000 miles a season, you can see why). The chances are, these are not refundable or transferable and therefore, about £20 each has gone. No doubt, a few of these hardy souls will still travel up and now incur an overnight stay.

I hope you can get your money (or some of it back) for the unused train tickets.

If it's the cheapest advance tickets I don't think you'll get anything back. I wavered about booking train tickets for this one and luckily decided I couldn't fit it in along with other commitments.

I notice Sky only announced TV fixtures for around half the season this year, as opposed to the first 20 or so rounds as previously. I've had my eye on Wakey away wondering whether it might get switched from the Sunday. I've already booked train tickets to go there on Saturday morning in case it mives to Saturday, but if that one goes to Friday I'm stuffed.

I was also hoping to take in Barrow v Toulouse the day after our game at Wigan, but I've just discovered that's been switched to the Thursday.

What really pi55es me of is that on the sky sports site (where the change is not shown) they are showing a SL game on Sat 13th at 6.00 (again on their site as TBA) before the England game at 8. Why don't they have us then rather than a bl00dy Friday night.

Anyone know an email address to point out the obvious to them.

What's the betting that they shift Bradford currently due to be played on 2nd. August and screw up my weekend plus Warrington at HJ in the last round? Anyone know how far in advance Sky announce their fixtures?

as I understand it, they have an undertaking this year to try to do it 1 month before the game........thus...14th May = 14th June game moved.

Bunch of thoughtless barstewards.

Already got train tickets and no chance of getting any money back.

It's bluddy hardwork and expensive being a Quins fan.
