Fixtures : Tue Nov 06, 2018 2:35 pm  

So Super League fixtures came out today, but after an hour of googling, I still see nothing on the Championship. Disappointing considering that again we face trips to France and Canada.

Does anyone know when these will be released?

Usually the week after Super Greed

Currently delayed until the Leigh issue is resolved. No word from them as to whether they can fulfil their fixtures or not....

Or could there be other factors Chris?

i.e.- Will Toronto request fixtures outside Canada for the first few weeks of the season? ( a not unreasonable scenario, as the likes of 'Fax and Leigh can't usually use their pitches for a spell in mid Summer)

- Has the process been delayed by the extra week being added to last season, and not knowing whether Swinton or Workington would be in the Championship?

- Will 'Brexit' affect Toulouse? (or indeed will the border issue affect Toronto's desire to play a home game in Dublin? )

On a more serious note, I hope Leigh are keeping the RFL more informed than they are us! We, as mere supporters, have heard absolutely zilch!

Monday 19th November.

I believe that is the date they are aiming for as both sets of fixtures (SL and Championship) were due to be released on the same day (today) originally. However extra time as I am led to believe has been granted in the hope that Leigh can formulate a club to take it's rightful place in this league. To be honest up until a few years ago it was December when fixtures were released anyway....

Cheers Chris. Fingers crossed!

Delayed again because of Leigh. Another week.

I do feel bad for some of their fans but for others, someone once said you should be careful how you treat people on the way up because you might need them when you are on your way down.
