Now next Thursday at 3pm. Played at John Smiths Stadium.

It’s the only game that day so why when we are the home team are we not playing at Belle Vue. I know crowds are not allowed but there are other advantages to playing at your home ground.

Suppose it’s easier to set up the Sky cameras there than at BV.

If it's the only game that day, why the 3pm kick off?

Very good point SC.
Do the host clubs get some kind of pay out when their ground is used (I cant see any club staging fixtures for nowt) and if so, are we missing out (again).
I know that BV isn't a state of the art modern ground but, I dont think that covid can differentiate between new and old and tbf, BV isnt being used for any other sports, which you would assume would increase the risk of infection (Huddersfield will be used for football at some point).
Having said that, we've been doing ok over there in recent games, lets just hopw for a "W".

Agree
Absolutely bizzare

Almost no point it being broadcast at all at that time

Are you shore it on Sky can not see it on Thursday sport channels

It will be to fill a space on the Sky sports scheduling

They wont have had chance to update them yet.
It's a very strange KO time. Midweek and 3.0 pm ?

Thanks

Potentially there could be football on that evening.

Probably also easier to work within covid restriction requirements regarding team segregation type stuff. Would guess it costs these clubs something to open the stadiums so if they may well get a payment to balance the books?
