Great news.

One aspect that is strange is that the Premier League games all appear to be taking place at the usual venues and are the supposed "covid safe" venues that we will be using and safer than the rest ??

I presume its to do with broadcasting facilities at the Soccer grounds being up to scratch on a permanent basis.

Seriously, if behind closed doors I cannot see why games are not simply played at the proper home venues. Why is BV or eg. Wheldon Rd less Covid safe than Shuds, Headingley or the AJ Bellend Stadium?

Possibly it’s just more convenient/safer/less cost involved, to have the broadcasting teams at just one venue. I believe the RFL are inspecting venues to ensure they have sufficient changing room facilities for all six teams on the day, plus match officials, and said facilities can be disinfected before the next teams use them. Plus it’s a lot of oranges for BLM to cart around different venues.

Wonder if we'll have our own section of seating to fill with cardboard cut outs?

Still no news regarding the catch up games. After the August 2nd games all teams will have played 7 games, except Leeds and Huddersfield 6 games played and Trinity Catalans will have only played 5 games. My question is “are Trinity and Catalans at a disadvantage, playing catch up, even if our catch up games are played during a CCup week if both teams have an early cup exit. Are the CC games to be played mid week?. This whole re setting of season’s fixtures, seems very haphazard to me.
