Not sure it is right for Yorkshire clubs to have to travel to Cumbria for mid-week games or vice-versa for Cumbrian clubs travelling to Yorkshire. The players are all lads with jobs away from rugby to hold down.

Agreed, but Town have to come to Keighley on a Thursday night later in the season as its on TV, so I suppose Cougars coming to Workington midweek evens it out a bit.

Town were not in a position to inform anyone the game was off until the Match Commissioner had made the decision. As soon as he made it then people were informed straight away.

These things happen - last season Town and their fans travelled over to Gateshead for a game only for it to be called off 15 minutes before kick off.

I suspect if we were not hosting RLWC games later this year then the game would have gone ahead but I think the RFL official was probably under orders to not do anything to jeapordise the pitch.

Why does any re-arranged game need to be mid-week?

OK, I know what the RFL's Rules state, but these were formulated years ago when it was a 'winter game', there was no Super League and there were around 19 'home' league fixtures in a season plus the Yorkshire and Lancashire Cups, BBC Floodlit Cup, Players No. 6 games etc., so there was a real need to avoid fixture backlogs but surely not today?

Almost forgot - the games were regularly played on the basis that on alternate Saturdays you were either at home or away. Now it's far too difficult to ensure that this is the case!

Not wanting to appear to be negative about our game on Sunday, but it does appear that we will have at least one free Sunday in the near future when either the Dewsbury or Workington games could be played thereby helping both the Cougars and our opponents to maximise their gate.

Is it impossible for the clubs to lobby for a change in this particular Rule as we all know that the RFL are incapable of looking outside Super League!

As Derwent has already said it happened to us last season when all our travelling fans actually arrived at Gateshead only to be told the game was off. The game was re-arranged for midweek and we went with half a team and got beat and fans got no recompense. So, as always, it's the fans who lose out.

666 - the rules that refer to this situation (B1.17 of the RFL Operational Rules, General Competition Rules) are dated January 2013 so they are not the ancient rules you speak of. That rule is quite specific that future weekends can only be taken in to account if at the time of the postponement both teams know they have a free weekend or they are both out of the Cup or other competition. Both clubs at the time of the postponement are still in the Cup and there are no free weekends that are not cup tie weekends i.e. Challenge Cup or Northern Rail Cup matches.

I agree though that part-time players should not be expected to travel mid-week when they have jobs outside of the game to consider.

On the Workington Website, it says highly unlikely week.

On Keighley's website it says nothing at all about the game.
