Tigers vs Chiefs - is it 5th or 6th March? - UPDATED (06th)

[AlphaWiseOwl]

The fixture list says this game will take place on Saturday 5th March. If you go to the Buy Tickets page it is listed as being on Sunday 6th March. Does anybody know the confirmed date?

[Tigerbeat]

According to the Premierhip website the game is scheduled for 05th March but guess TV fixtures need to be decided.

Yes I see that Tigerbeat - thanks, but why is the Club selling tickets for 6th March? We're travelling home by train from London that weekend so the confusion means we don't know whether we need train tickets for home via Leicester on Saturday or we go home on Saturday and then travel into Leicester (as usual) by road on Sunday. Fans really are held hostage to fortune with the TV broadcast schedules aren't we?

See the thread on Stade Tickets. It makes you feel de-valued as a loyal supporter, especially if you have any kind of travel requirements. I'm fortunate that I live within a short drive of the ground but I'm seriously questioning the level of cost and disruption involved with away travel.

[Mjolnir]

As a wise man used to say, have you thought of contacting the club rather than asking a bunch of forum members?

[AlphaWiseOwl]

Ticket Office is closed until 4th January. Sorry to have invaded your space Mjolnir. I ask questions on the Forum because generally people are helpful and share information if they have it, without resorting to sarcasm.

Or checking the exeter website and the fixture time says TBC

Now confirmed for 06th March - televised game - enough notice?

Thank you Tigerbeat for your helpful reply and supportive attitude. That is exactly the kind of fan-to-fan reply I was hoping to see.

[sapajo]

The 2 mothers in my life are not going to be happy for the second year running on the 6th March.

[terraceite]

Wow that's at least 2 Saturday games this season

[salcombe bob]

Thanks guys, I now know the Exeter game is on BT Sport.

That means I won't be coming up for a birthday treat, because it's 4 hours plus. Pity, but if it's on TV........

Cockers needs to be sacked for allowing the game to be played on 6th March. Its mothers day for crying out loud, its total abuse of fans.

'Tis Mothers Day! So bring yout mothers!! For the Match Day Experience!
