Liamsdad · Post by **Liamsdad** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:22 pm

Due to the weather being so bad kick off has been brought forward to 3.15 pm. Confirmed by Tigers ticket office

TV coverage now skysports 2 at 1500 hrs

Presumably Wasps have already threatened not to turn up? Or a clever pre-emptive strike? Or (without tongue-in-cheek) SKY have spoken!!

Just read the post and had a check on the web site - it has been moved to 3:15. Being totally selfish, this is great news for me as it means I can get home on the right side of closing time and grab a quick beer. (Mind you the pubs in my village don't seem to know what closing time is

)

And I just checked on the Pests site too - they also confirm.... Pizzas all round at 3:30!!!!

Great news! Common sense has prevailed over sky tv

I am extremely glad as any kickoff time around 3 is great, I will no longer have to risk losing valuable parts of my body in the cold (although I'm pretty sure if a drink is brought to the game and exposed to the elements it will be frozen) and I can get home nice and early for tea.

I've often seen complaints about the Tigers web site not giving up enough 'news' - they will probably change it - but have a look on the News Room page. There's now four bullitins about the time change, 17:16, 17:17, 17:19 & 17:21 !

I guess that I'm not the only one that's glad to see the time change

I now had an e-mail from the club telling me of the time change!

I had a train ticket for a 3pm kick off... and when I noticed the change in time I rang up TrainLine and got the ticket changed for the half 5 kick off...

Now I've just seen this. Great.

Knowing my luck the game will be called off anyway.

Good attempt by RFU to pre-empt pests wanting the game called off. They will probably turn up at 5pm and say they did not receive official notification of the change in kick-off or if they turn up for the 3.15 ko the pitch may be too soggy for them as the covers will have prevented it from getting firm.
