Wendyball taking over Friday nights : Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:37 pm  

Oh Joy! Really looking forward to loads more Thursday & midweek games from 2016 onwards

why the doom ?
the initial tranche is for 10 games only.
it would make sense for sky to buy these and run them from the end of the RL internationals to the start of SL (ie Nov/Dec/Jan), meaning that have a consistent Fri night offering, now that BT have the RU

hmm, s'pose it's a bit early for histrionics over this, & the supporters' assocs have spoken up against it (not that the supporters will ever have their opinions taken account of). But with the meek & the mild in charge at Red Hall, I can't help feeling that we'll end up with sloppy-seconds if this does go ahead.

we shall see

That will help with the sldreamteam.co.uk fantasy teams, as you have to set your lineups before the 19 man squads are named for Saturday games.

I preferred it when they had Championship games on a Thursday. It was like a bridge to the weekend.
