Damn it!! More Fixtures moved from 3pm on a Saturday!!!

It has been announced that all fixtures in round 22, the final round of the Premiership season, will kick off at 3.15pm on Saturday May 7th.

I hope that doesn't inconvenience anyone getting to Bath...

After going twice last season I've committed to never going there again!!!

Lovely place to go for an away game though. I'm trying to persuade the other half that it would be nice to have a day out there, during which I take a time out and go to the game. I'll let you know if I get successful with that idea!!

Wish you luck with that ploy. It doesn't work for me despite her only two matches in 25 years being in Dublin and Paris.

Indeed, it was more the 90 points we leaked over the two games that has deterred me!!

Maybe you're a jinx on the team away at Bath. In which case with the greatest respect glad you have decided not to go again.

Not sure why they announce the last games @3pm when due to television rules a 3pm game cannot be shown live on tv, and every year all games are moved to start at the same time anyway

At least someone in the club notices the problems with stupid game times!

Simon Cohen in today's Rugby Paper

"Cohen, meanwhile has expressed concern over the mounting number of fixtures televised live on Saturday and Sunday evenings, particularly European games, which he claims are affecting attendances at big games. A number of Premiership clubs are believed to be annoyed and Cohen said 'If you sell your TV rights then TV will want to put matches on at the best time for them but one thing that will sustain the game is fans in the ground'.

'Kick-off times such as 7.45 pm on a Saturday night and 5.15 pm on Sundays are a significant disincentive for fans to attend live games.

Crowds have been down at those times and fans tell us that was the sole reason didn't go.'"
