All TV games should be stand alone games no other games should be played at the same time. Why can't we have a Saturday afternoon game KO at 3 and a Sunday Night game KO at 5/530 after the other games have finished plus people who travel to the Sunday night games can get home at a decent time. Love it if Channel 4 got it give the game more coverage for people who don't get charge ridiculous prices to watch it.

6 of us were coming down from Edinburgh for this game train tickets purchased . That's £500 down the Swanny River . Mental also that Hull now have a short turnaround after a tough semi final and Wigan have 2 weeks off . The fans just don't count in any shape or form in Sky's eyes.
Similar to 2017 when we played a Thursday night game at Headingley five days after the Challenge Cup final, scheduled when the semi finalists were known.

Whilst inconvenient, you can change your tickets for a fee can't you?

I was bringing two car loads from Manchester. Same happened in May.
I aren't going to bother making plans for Saturday games again.

Lots of us have been inconvenienced by this fixture being changed. Whoever is responsible should be reimbursing you for your expense. It's an absolute disgrace. I am disappointed that I cannot attend now as a result of the change but so relieved that I'm not out of pocket like you. Suggest you contact the club and the RFL and seek recompense.
