Quote ="bramleyrhino"I fully support the sentiment but the reality is, it's nothing new in the age of wall-to-wall televised sport.
As a football supporter I've lost count of the number of rail tickets (a Leeds-London return can cost £210+), hotels and various other costs that I've incurred due to TV rearrangements - it happens. As much as I support the petition, unless somebody can suggest an alternative source of funding Sky are going to take some influencing.'"
Fully aware that Soccer and Union fans have had this for years. The point here is that:
a/ Catalans fixtures have
always remained untouched in the reg season since they joined.
b/ Sky have picked this game to test the water. Imagine if they had picked this weekends Leeds game????
c/ If the people I contact (see above list) decide to let this go without raising a concern, then it will happen again and it could be you.
As has been pointed out, this fixture change hasn't bothered me, because if I do go, I will only book at the last minute anyway due to work, but I refuse to shrig my shoulders and let SKY ride roughshod over the RL community.
