Apparently no Thursday games next year. Back to Friday and Saturday for televised games.

Says who?

I've heard this too. About damn time as well.

Sky haven't got the 5pm premier league for the next 3 yrs so got a gap to plug

Fantastic news if true.

Great stuff

It's best for the game.

I'm gonna miss Thursday night games however. Suits my work and I like my RL as early as Thursday. Don't have to wait as long.

Good news. Thursday not good for families as children have school the following day.

Ah well. at least they are making the change before people finally give up going to watch live games.
Thursdays have been a disaster for RL.
Quite frankly, the sport is just not big enough to play games on a Thursday, to anything like a full house and it's becoming embarrassing.

Plus the way that games are spread out between Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday is reducing demand for season tickets, with fans knowing that they will inevitably have to miss some games.

Great fro the armchair viewers (which suits Sky) but, not good for the paying spectators.

Sincerely hope this is true , Sat tea time would suit us best as we would generally get the 2 nd TV fixture , so I'd make that our regular home kick off time

Good news all round, nobody likes these games, if we did have midweek games Wednesday would be better

If true I'd be delighted, like most people. For the armchair fans, there is often an NRL game to watch on Premier when I get home from work on Thursday evenings, so that will do me fine. Being a long way away, Fridays aren't ideal for me either, but they are doable for some games, whereas Thursdays are a dead loss. And of course it's good news for all you guys who live locally, so should improve our gates.
