2007, Hull City moved their game to lunchtime



we played in the evening against Wigan losing narrowly



we had played at home the previous week so it was unexpected that we got a second home play off game

Large Parts and clubfoot fc



just to put the record straight ie Sale / Salford televised game.



Like your agreement with Hull City Salford and Sale also have an whoever is in season gets first call on stadium use.



In July when the Sales fixture list came out,Sale like Salford have played Friday night games for several seasons, it was seen that both clubs would be at home. Sale immediately agreed to move to Saturday as per agreement.

In early August ESPN when picking there televised game for that weekend chose Sale as it was now a Saturday fixture and everything was fine until Sky insisted that it was Saturday night only and Sunday was a no go.



Hope this explains how Salford and Sale found themselves in a position that was none of there making

for what was always going to be a non event.



PS



Wait while next week the 21/22/23 Sept if Wigan win against Catalans then they get club call and play at home if Sky Won't, Don't, Can't schedule a Sunday night fixture then the same problems arises because Wigan Athletic are at home on Saturday 22 Sept and Dave Whelan will not allow a game at the DW

24 hrs before a football game obviously Saturday is out so it's Sunday or move.

I understand how it came about but dont get why sale were allowed to have a home game televised on the weekend when sky always choose fixtures at short notice.



surely It would have been wise for salford to make the stadium unavailable all weekend as sky could change the game.



If they made it unavailable then sale would have had an away game for 1st game of season.



at the beginning of each clubs season they make either the rfl or fa aware of dates when the ground is unavailable and they plan fixtures accordingly





Granted this is much more difficult for the play offs and like you say it will be interesting to see what happens.

You could try Gateshead!

As I understand it the Sale game was originally scheduled for the Friday and was moved to the Saturday [iat Salford's request[/i as Fridays are their usual home night. Just one of those things, unfortunately.

Fooook that, they know where Hull is and if they want to watch they can come over the bridge and watch. We don't want to be getting into what London try to do......

Failing





No thanks only space for one team to fail in Hull and us n the footy team are doing well. Now which team could be failing
