I presume we lose the Sky money and possible increased sponsorship opportunities a game on the TV brings. We also had to do additional remedial work after the Catalan game, all of which cost us money which apparently we are short of.

I don't know regarding the SKY money, but seeing as it passed I suspect SKY will have to pay.

We have not had to pay any extra as far as I'm aware for any remedial work. The pitch supplier supplied new covers as part of the ongoing process. It is still under the suppliers guarantee and as we have followed their guidance, then you work it out,

I know you are desperate to sling muck Rhubarb, but this is really poor.

From the HKR twitter

RFL STATEMENT – WAKEFIELD PITCH INSPECTION
An independent consultant confirmed that the playing surface has improved significantly in the 17 days since the Huddersfield fixture on 3 March, and the RFL Board have therefore ruled that the match can go ahead as planned.
.

This would suggest that yesterday's inspection was carried out by people who were responsible for the inspection "17 days" previous and passed it OK. Why was there any suggestion that 17 days later it would be anything other than "significantly improved"

Some dick at Sky created a drama that Hull KR were happy to ride on.

It was the RFL and RL Commercial that requested the change. http://www.superleague.co.uk/article/3348/sky-sports-to-show-warriors-v-red-devils

Jowitt, Murphy, Gaskell, Bowden, Hood, Tanginoa,. Plus possibly missing Langi, Crowther or Smith I was told today. I have no doubt though that after last week if we can back up that effort at Salford that success will be coming the players and clubs way very soon. Can’t wait for this one and I hope everybody attends and rallies behind the team to get that win.

Just a shame that the decision for the go ahead is so late in the day.
Let's hope that after the massively improved performance at Salford and with a good following from KR, we can have BV rocking on Friday night and gain our first 2 points of the season.

Come on Trin !

I.

out of those, Smith would cause Mash real selection problems if out. let's hope he makes it.
Also surprised Liam Kaye not a doubt

Re: Wakefield v HKR : Tue Mar 21, 2023 7:30 pm  

Interesting that we've brought Tom Forber brought in. Wigan obviously not concerned about him playing on our pitch.

There is nothing wrong with that pitch.
Have they all turned into wusses? What would they have thought of the Widnes pitch?
They'd have never played a home game on it FFS.
Clearly, HKR trying it on after Cats & Shudds tried to make an issue out of it and the fact they have a few players missing.....
You don't need Miss Marple or a slide rule to work it out FFS.
Its the same for both teams isnt it?
Or have we got magic powers?
Get on with the game!!!

Long live the Death Pitch!!!
