The government guidelines state: Outdoor events will be 50% capacity or 4,000, whichever is lower. Wikipedia suggests the capacity at Dewsbury is 5,100. So the club can have around 2,550 fans attend the game. Is that correct?

Sounds about right, any idea how many season tickets have been sold

I understand you are only saying it how it is Mick, but it's daft, How are Sky affected? They already have my, and any other subscription, monies - whether I or anyone else chooses to watch a particular match or not makes not one jot of difference to them. All it does is annoy subscribers.

To be fair it’s not so much about subscriptions because, as you say, Sky already have them. It’s more to do with the fact that they want people to watch that Monday night game and get good viewing figures. Hence why other games cannot be streamed as it will take away viewing figures.

It’s stupid in my opinion. As Bradford vs Newcastle had the potential to get 4k plus viewing plus the people allowed into the ground. Are Sky maybe not allowing this because they aren’t getting a slice of the pie should the game be streamed?

Just wait for the statement. All will be revealed shortly.

But we (I'll use the royal we) won't be watching will we? We'll be scrambling around to find a radio station giving commentary whilst cursing Sky's stupidity. It's an own goal.

Some people will. I mean, I’ll have the Super League game on in the background whilst listening to the Bulls game. If it was being streamed I’d hook the laptop up to the TV and watch the Bulls. As I say it’s silly. Let’s see what this statement says if it ever gets released!

Think a week off actually comes at the right time as we were looking a bit battered and bruised after Swinton. Hopefully fresh for a big game against London the week after
