One less home game for us. Such a shame. Bonkers!
Shows what a farce the fixture format is - no money for that game, will the RFL sub us for loss of income ?
don’t hold your breathe
Just read announcement and we will be recompensed for loss of income from that fixture( probably one of our best) but whether that is a flat fee for all who knows
also points will be awarded on a win percentage basis like in COVID - whatever that means, surely it should be 2 points and a 28-0 win ?
Luckily we beat them last year away ( can’t remember home result, think it was a loss even though I was there )
Sending Chris Hamilton in to sort the mess out worked out well then
@cumbria-viking To be fair this mess ran far deeper and a lot further back. RL maybe able to stand the loss of expansion clubs but loss in the heartlands is poor. RFL website has suspended all comments on post.
@steelviking it's a shocker tbh mate especially a club of fevs size ...as James has said on X ..it's the right thing for the sports integrity (RL integrity..ironic)...can't go running up massive debts ..go into administration and then near same people just about, think you can just come back to the table debt free
Sad times.
Went to POR many times, but only came away smiling on two occasions! I think there's only Odsal where we have a worse record!
Like you, we've lost a home fixture, and therefore a few quid, but the RFL statement says clubs will be compensated. How much? That remains to be seen!
Will it now mean two 48-0 scores, and two lots of two comp points awarded to you, us, and all others they were due to play? But if that's the case..................
Is it fair to those teams they weren't playing, and who won't get two Ws, and +98 on the points diff on the ladder, without kicking a ball?
Spelly.
Not to want to turn the knife but what about us season ticket holders, that’s one home game less for us.
I really feel for the Rovers fans, could they be resurrected next season❤️
Am I being daft but with 20 teams in the league and us only playing 11 of them, why cant we just play one of the other sides? Swinton, Keighley etc.

Maybe I'm being daft, but when you were due to meet Fev, wouldn't Keighley, and we be playing (say) Sheff, and 'Canes?
So your blank weekend, would not match theirs or ours.
Or am I missing summat obvious?
