Widnes Vikings can confirm our Round 26 game away at Sheffield Eagles will now take place on Thursday 27 August at 7:30pm.
The game was set to take place on the August 30, but has been rescheduled due to the Vikings’ participation in the 1895 Cup Final.
Widnes Vikings Chairman Stuart Murphy said: “This has been a very complex situation to resolve, involving more than 10 meetings and ongoing monitoring of fixtures to reach this outcome.
“We have now managed to agree dispensations on the relevant items relating to the final between all of the clubs involved.
“We would like to place on record our thanks to Mark Hannigan of Sheffield Eagles and Gary Hetherington of London Broncos, along with Robert Hicks of the RFL and Rhodri Jones of RL Commercial, for the time and effort they have given throughout this process.
“Halton Borough Council have also been extremely accommodating, allowing us to make changes to training days and times where necessary, we are grateful for their support and flexibility throughout the process.”
We understand the frustration this has caused to our supporters, but we simply felt the need to stand our ground on these matters. Thank you for your patience.”
