Re: Premiership Week 19
I still think Worcester refusing to move the game to Monday when they have the following weekend off is a Shocker!
Obviously we couldn't move it due to the final.
And I get logistically it's complicated moving Bath v Sale after the Semifinal result, but for Worcester to refuse is a shocker IMO... stopping a fellow club getting gate income at this time is poor
I really hope Wasps destroy Worcester (even if it may hinder us a bit)

Re: Premiership Week 19
I think it's pretty poor that Sale and Worcester blocked their games being moved to prevent some home advantage to Bath and Wasps.
There is a much bigger picture here, and Quins were willing to move our match had we not made the final.
No excuses over midweek schedules being very hard to manage given it's a European finals weekend....

Re: Premiership Week 19
How do you know that the Clubs blocked the move of the games? It could have been BT that required the games to be kept as scheduled to fit in with their programming. If this is the case I would not see it as a big issue as BT have been excellent in broadcasting all matches live during the pandemic.Bunchy wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 8:47 am I think it's pretty poor that Sale and Worcester blocked their games being moved to prevent some home advantage to Bath and Wasps.

Re: Premiership Week 19
Wasps have come out and Stated Worcester refused to reschedule the fixture. I assumed the Bath fixture was down to waiting on the Semifinal result, but not wanting to change it too late.Tigerbeat wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 10:32 amHow do you know that the Clubs blocked the move of the games?

An article re. Worcester refusing to allow the fixture to be moved because they feel they need the extra 2 day break with the week off... In my opinion that is excedingly poor.... so their players need a 14 day break (rather than 12) despite not having been involved in the latter rounds of European rugby.

Re: Premiership Week 19
So rather than have an extended rest from their last game Worcester would deny Wasps supporter the chance to attend the game, pretty poor showing . I'm surprised the premiership rugby organizers and BT didn't insist on the fixture being moved. Worcester's players would still get a week and a half off after the game even if it was played on the Tuesday.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 12:15 pm https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport ... a-20453257

Re: Premiership Week 19
Extremely shoddy by Worcester. Shame on them.
Re: Premiership Week 19
Wasps are rightly miffed, exceedingly poor from Worcester I hope they get a right old stuffing for it.
