TFS : I can see the games in the news item itself but when you view the full fixture list itself . It only has the friendly, PC & HC games no Prem Fixtures?

Tigers: Have now changed the link in the news item to the downloadable .pdf, file not to the File fixture list online.
Would have been helpful if that was the case in the first place.

From our first 15 Prem and Champ Cup matches on the download/print list there is a TNT logo by 14 of them, so a lot on telly presumably.
Excellent news for inaccessible away days if so.

What are peoples thoughts on the Derby Weekend, personally I'm not sure its a good idea doing all the derby games in one weekend, might it be better to spread them out and hype them up individually?

To me it tends to come across quite forced when they try to hype them up in the URC, as an outside observer I can't tell if it is an effective marketing tactic but it certainly doesn't entice me in as a viewer. Just let them fall where they may in a season.

Disappointed with the KO Times............3-05pm

I may be wrong, but it looks to me that there are no premiership games over the 6 Nations!!

Correct

However I did see one Journalist on Twitter say that England players need 5 rest weeks post world cup... and one rest week post 6N...

So we may still be missing them for a fair chunk at the start of the season.

Assuming England (and Wales) progess to a decent level in the competition.....

Don’t think it will make a lot of difference for our games against Saints as they are usually near sell outs anyway

[Darc Tiger]

Question marks over that 6N period regarding cashflow. Hope we don't get into trouble again. Maybe they'll really try and push the women's fixtures in the run-up to the W6N.

I don't think many derby games need help selling out, its more from a TV point of view.

I dispute your pointer derbies, not sure all west country derbies are sell outs, allowing for the fact that there are 4 clubs in the West Country, what would be seen as their main derbies. I know Bristol v Bath is a big game due to their proximity. As for tv again I don’t really see that it makes much difference the games are when they are and returning to our games no real hype need

It's an 8 week club 6N break,that will hurt a lot of clubs financially! Will we set up any friendlies do we think?

[Scott1]

Have no figures with me but I'd be very,very surprised if Bath v Gloc doesn't sell out in both games!
