There was potential for two home games in May - we just got drawn away for both rounds of the Cup! The two normal Super League games we played were both at dual-use stadia, incidentally. |

I believe Blackpool have asked to swap their opening fixture against latics because their new stand won't be ready. If they reverse the fixture it could affect our game v Huddersfield.

| Quote --[ WW --="--[ WW --"Of course it has something to do with the RFL and the FA. They're the ones who draw up the fixtures. It wouldn't take any effort to make a note of which dual use stadiums have fixtures on weekends and to arrange their own fixtures around them. The FA should've looked at our fixtures and seen that the DW, the KC, and the Racecourse might be needed in September. Likewise the RFL should consider the football fixtures when they arrange our fixture list in November'"
I think you're giving both governing bodies too much credit |

Not really. They manage to keep Old Trafford free for 1 weekend of the year, I don't see why that can't be expanded to make sure other grounds don't have fixture clashes. It wouldn't take the greatest minds in the land to come up with a way of avoiding fixture clashes, just a bit of cooperation. |

As Sky will be dictating which playoff game is played when, I can see them allocating Wigan v Sunderland for either Sunday afternoon or Monday night. There's only one "stand-out" fixture that weekend (Everton v Man Utd), so Sky could quite easily solve any problem before it ever becomes a problem.

Sky have to announce their first few weeks worth of fixtures by July 2nd. |

They also have far more flexibility this year with them showing 115 games instead of the 92 they showed in the last contract. They've in affect taken half the games that Setanta/ESPN used to show. |

Apparently we asked for our first couple of games to be away from home so it could be completed, or at least that was the rumour. The stand should be up in time anyway hopefully, think the company building it specialises in stupidly quick contruction. |

Yup, I can't see any other outcome than us being booted out AGAIN with very little protest or argument from us.
As for the FA and RFL "sorting the fixtures" I agree they should do this for games like Good Friday, but they're never going to do it for situations like "we might need the stadium for the play-offs". Regardless of how likely some people think we'll be in the top two they're not going to plan for something that isn't confirmed. I'm not sayin I agree with it, but that's the way it is. |

Does anyone think this is the Premier league trying to apply pressure on DW to get rid of us?
