Someone will complain at whatever the club decides on things like this. For some people it will be a welcome change in kick off time.

Not true.

I'm not a pisshead and I'm not bothered about the football but I'm OK with the 1.30 kick off. Still plenty of time to get there but now I'll be home before four and enjoy a nice long late afternoon/evening.

A shame if yoiu have to miss out but I'd wager only a very small percentage of supporters will now not be able to go based on a change of ninety minutes.

Worth remembering that the corporate side of things doesn't wrap up at the final hooter. The sponsors have been vital to the club for the last sixteen months so if this means they can enjoy the after match stuff and still have plenty of time to get home for the football then it's a good thing.

Good call by the club IMO. A once in a lifetime sporting event in our national sport.

As I've posted on the Rovers forum it's an embarrassing move by Rovers (and Hull).

Any 6-2pm shift workers now cannot attend and at this short notice are unlikely to be granted annual leave. These people have paid to watch these games.

Think about the numbers of juniors who participate in sport on a Sunday morning. How many of these and their parents will now miss out on watching Hull or Rovers or should they give their own rugby, cricket, athletics etc a miss?

3 hours would have been plenty of time for the Leigh and Warrington team bus to get home.

Do we think that football will alter their kick off times in November to accommodate the rugby league world cup?

Well of course not but then there won't be 30m people in the UK watching the RL World Cup Final.
