The top of the table clash between Warrington and St Helens has been changed to Thursday 8th August after being chosen by Sky Sports as a televised fixture.
The game was originally scheduled to be played on Friday 9th August and was likely to draw one of the biggest attendances of the season.
However, the fixture change has disrupted the plans of a number of fans, with many expressing their disappointment on Twitter:
Great, my wife and I are travelling down from Edinburgh on the Friday for our only game of the year. Pathetic.

Why are people surprised? Fans are the last ones to be considered, and they wonder why it’s hard to promote the sport .
