Bradford Bulls will take to the skies in a bid to get their Super League season back on course at London Broncos on Sunday.

Coach Matthew Elliott and his players, who suffered a rare setback against title rivals Wigan, will avoid the frustrating road journey south by flying from Leeds/Bradford airport on Sunday morning.

They will head to the new London City airport which is only a few minutes drive from the Broncos home at The Valley which they share with Charlton soccer club.

"Matthew was keen to give the players the best preparation as usual and by flying on the day of the game any delays should be kept to an absolute minimum," said Bulls media manager Stuart Duffy.

Meanwhile the Bulls have suffered another fixture switch at the hands of Sky Television.

The clash with Hull has been unexpectedly brought forward to next Friday from Sunday, July 16 and will kick-off at 7.30pm. It will be the Bulls sixth appearance on Sky Sports in their last ten games.

Bulls are confident their eagerly-awaited clash with Leeds Rhinos on July 30 will remain unaltered.

Duffy said: "We have been in discussions with Sky and it will stay as a Sunday night game when we feel we will attract a bigger gate."

Sky have still to reveal their schedules beyond the middle of the month but the Bulls seem certain to face more fixture reshuffling with another visit to Wigan (August 27) and a further home clash with Leeds (September 8) in the pipeline.

Elliott will be making final checks on the progress of Stuart Spruce (knee) and Brad Mackay (side strain) when the players report back for training tomorrow.

Spruce's return would allow Henry Paul to move into a more pivotal role but they may well be at loose forward if Mackay fails to pull through in time.

The Broncos, who yesterday signed Aussie centre Nigel Roy from Northern Eagles to further boost their ranks for next season, also have injury problems of their own ahead of Sunday's game.

Scrum half Glen Air has a back injury and utility man Tulsen Tollett has a knee problem.
