Bit disappointing that Sky have chosen to kick off the re-arranged Celtic v Wakefield game to clash with the conclusion of the Hull KR v Warrington cup tie on the BBC.
Hull KR v Wire kicks off at 5:30pm on BBC Two with Celtic v Wakefield at 7pm on Sky.
Surprised the RFL allowed this to be honest. I know it not easy for travelling Wakey fans but the usual Friday slot would have been best from a tv point of view.

The beeb are showing the rovers/wire game late, avoiding the bigger draw (FA Cup) on ITV, I would have tought any programmer worth his salt would have a squint at the oppo schedules to maximise viewing figures.
Then again, Sky don't even acknowledge that anyone doesn't watch Sky!
Maybe the Sky scheduler thinks Celtic/Wakefield is a bigger fixture?

Is it just me or unless you want to watch the after match analysis by Claire 'you could get your teeth done now' Balding then the first game should finish and ours be on literally a minute or two later. At worst you'll miss 5 minutes or so.

I might not see it but I doubt I'll miss it

Or it's the only slot available.
So you're saying it's BBC's fault for moving the kick off time of the KR v Wire game to clash with Sky's regular SL kick off time on a saturday?
