The RL Championship Fixtures

I must say I am not impressed with having only one home game in the first four fixtures and 3 home games on the trot in June. In these financially tight times for many families how are non season ticket holders expected to shell out for 3 weeks on the run? It is crazy.

Surely it is not rocket science to organise alternate home & away weekly fixtures.  Or is our stadium not available in some weekends in February & early March for some reason such as being used by either a football or American Football team? This would partly account for it but surely not totally explain 3 consecutive weeks?

There are 'Bye' weeks, and also gaps in the list for cup ties.

Yes but they will be used up by the 1895 3 rounds to be played as 16 teams qualify next season. See post in this forum. Bye weeks means only us are not playing in a league of 13, all the other clubs are paired up.

I know what a 'Bye' week is.

There's at least six other clubs, Halifax, Toulouse, Oldham, London, Doncaster and York that share stadiums.

Agree about Friday nights, but the distribution of fixtures is appalling - decided not to go to Toulouse and do the home game in feb instead as the club can have my beer tokens

Good Friday at home to Oldham promises to be a cracker.They have put together a handy team and have just added Josh Drinkwater.

Just checked, 33 next year probably past his best and may struggle with the intensity of the championship

@berkeleyviking Wikipedia has 2 dates of birth one 1992 & in the statistics 1993. So he coud be 32 now. I did not see the 2 dates before.
