Bloody marvellous, I was looking forward to a Sunday afternoon game v Cas, with a full house in daylight. Sky have completely ignored Trinity over recent seasons, but as soon as there’s a battle royale in prospect, Sky descend like a flock of vultures.

1 week before the game tell sky we are having a problem with the pitch and can not guarantee the game will go ahead.
Didn't sky pull the plug on one of our home games

Absolute disgrace this. Booked holiday to get back for the Sunday game now shifted to Friday whilst away, I have previously made my point about Friday evenings this takes the biscuit now and I have to seriously consider whether I want to follow this joke of a sport!

Totally agree with the messing about of fixtures. I’m working till 8 that night so was looking forward to going on the Sunday. Also SKY have moved Leeds United game to same night as well, thanks a bunch SKY

I was able to go on the Sunday and I'll be able to go on the Friday as well.

I don't mind games being moved for sky but it should be done months in advance, I'm sure football have an agreement with Sky where there has to be a 3 month notice period for games that are scheduled to be on sky?

Either way, with us still having a reduced capacity and a fineite amount of tickets available, wakey fans need to buy asap to make sure we make the home advantage count

Re: Castleford at home : Tue Jul 11, 2023 3:02 pm  

I get that Sky now want to show it but why couldn't they do like they just did with the Hull derby and have it at 12.00 on the Sunday ??

Re: Castleford at home : Tue Jul 11, 2023 3:03 pm  

I am sure this will bring out the usual moaners about Sky moving games but lets be honest there is over 5 weeks notice and are well within their contractual rights to move this. As soon as we started winning a couple of games and getting close to Cas this was always going to be a Sky game.

For all those people moaning that they now can't go there will be also people who now can so its swings and roundabouts. It wont affect the attendance as with our reduced capacity it will sell out.
