Wow. Opening 7 fixtures could scarcely be tougher.

It is a tough run but not necessarily a bad thing. I would rather play the likes of Saints and Wigan early when they perhaps haven't got their straps yet.

We also have on paper arguably the 2 easiest games of the season in Rovers and Catalans at home.

I was looking forward to a trip to Toronto but its right between two existing trips for me. I sure Spooky will be on soon but the weather in Toronto in April could be almost anything from Snow to 30c. I was hoping for a summer fixture to combine with a trip to Niagara, Buffalo and the Adirondacks.

Good to see the two games over easter have been ditched.

Why schedule the HKR away game on good friday at a 12000 capacity ground?
Played at KCOM this probably would have been a 20000 plus gate

i believe we alternate the good Friday fixture between venues which is fair enough.

We seem to have no set day for home games next year, a mix of Friday's, Saturday's and Sundays plus the obligatory Thursday games for Sky sadly.

disappointed with our club on this! first 4 games could be a right off for me if refused holidays....dont recall the club saying that sundays would become part of our home fixture in the pass release brochure, saturdays' yes as we already do those! living on my own, £280 is a lot to pay out in one go for a low income worker which now could possibly become money wasted!

3 Sunday games at home this season, 2 last year although one was rearranged at the last minute by Sky.

Re: 2020 Fixtures : Tue Nov 05, 2019 6:25 pm  

I much prefer Friday night games but I can see the logic in playing on a Sunday in winter. Plus the Sunday home game after the Toronto trip makes sense.

I agree that sometimes you can catch the big clubs cold so as you say maybe as well to have those games early. Rovers will be a very tough game though Lawler has said they will challenge in 2020 so will be targeting a win against a side finishing 6th last year for sure.

It has always alternated. Besides, marketed right and the 2nd game of the season could easily be a sell out
