When are fixtures finalised?

Post by Tigerref »

I am looking to arrange a weekend in the New Year around a Tiger's game - does any one know when the KO days and times get finalised?

Cheers

After a quick glance at the fixture list, I would say they have been finalised up to and including the Quins match on Sat 10 Jan.

There were over 130 visits to this thread before me and no one else thought to look at the fixture list or suggest Tigerref did so?

Thanks for this

Perhaps I wasn't clear, I can see which ones appear to be firmed up - but was wondering when the 'firming' happens

The full fixture list as it currently stands is here

http://www.leicestertigers.com/rugby/1stxv_fixtures.php

for the dates which are not confirmed, the club will update and give information as soon as they get it, which I would guess will be early in the New Year.

Here's how I see it:

The fixtures are confirmed in sections by the TV companies through the season. The first half dozen were confirmed in July, then rounds 7 to 9 were 'firmed up' on 17 Sept. Rounds 10 to 13 were announced on 15 October, which is 6 weeks before the first matches in that section, so at a guess I'd say rounds 14-17 will be published 6 weeks before 14th Feb, ie new year time, with the last 5 rounds being agreed mid-Feb .... :smt023

My point is I am surprised and disappointed over 130 visits did not return one reply to help Tigerref with his query.

So you're having a dig at other people for not looking at the fixtures to help Tiggerref but you are not having a dig at Tigerref for not doing the exact same thing you are saying one of the 130 other people should have :smt017

Trouble is looking at the fixtures list doesn't answer my question.

Exactly. I guess the inconsiderate 130 thought the same.
I could agree with you...but then we'd both be wrong.

I mentioned 10th January as that is far as the TV coverage for Leicester's league matches go so far. Therefore the fixtures up to then have been finalised.

I understand that and thanks.

Do we know when the next batch will be finalised?

I believe they're normally announced around six weeks in advance so, theoretically, they could be out in the next couple of weeks.
