THIS SATURDAYS KICK OFF TIME
Moderators: Tigerbeat, Rizzo, Tigers Press Office, Tigers Webmaster
Firstly g note your post has been edited for obvious reasons (myself and Rizzo do have better things to be doing than that).
Secondly stop taking everything to heart! You merely seemed very angry and very vocal about the change in kick off time for someone who has a) stated that this is a Mickey Mouse competition that you would never support and b) can't go to the match in any case!
Belper Jon.... Coming back at 9pm is hardly THAT late though is it? Still allows for a few cheeky halves in your designated local!

Leicester supporters should count themselves lucky. In Wales now all of our kick off times are either 7.10 on Friday night or 5.30 on Saturday. It's all to do with TV (who of course cough up most of the money so I suppose we should be grateful). I haven't been to a Saturday afternoon game for ages.
Looking forward to this Saturday. We might just surprise you!

If you work Saturdays & Sundays. Why on earth does it matter to you when the game is being played as your not going regardless what time its played? And why won't you be watching the game as you are in Worcester? Ive been to Worcester, they have TV, Electricity & everything As for your bleeding point!!! What is it?g wrote:Firstly Iain
I do actually work on Saturdays and SUNDAYS as it happens. And secondly we won't be watching it on TV as we are in Worcester.
You are beginning to sound like a cracked record with your " Well g you publicly stated this that and the other" give it a rest will you I'm merely making a bleeding point.

Too right! I work til 3pm on Saturday and as such am hoping to attend now that they've changed the time!! Fandabidozie!!! Yippee, Woohoo, Marvellous!! :D :PRizzo wrote:I think we should be pleased for those who can't get to the game that they'll have a chance to watch it - we get so few games shown on Sky or satellite that anything should be an advantage. And people would moan even more if it had been moved to a Friday night or a Sunday instead.
You gotta fight for your right to .... PARTY!

let's face it, it is what it is - it suits some, it won't suit others. That's life. I'd have preferred 3pm myself, but as Iain says, 2.5 hours is not that much of a margin.
BelperJon, you wait until you're as old and decrepit as I am - all you want to do after standing for 5 hours or so is go home, soak in the bath with a glass of wine and then be a couch potato until bedtime :)
oh, and I know the epithets used by g aren't exactly swearing these days, but it really isn't necessary to use any language such as that in my opinion.

Don't waste your time away thinking about yesterday's blues

Imagine how the home team's side must feel then!BelperJon wrote:With a 5.30pm k/o, it will mean an extra 2½ hours of dead time before we leave home. We would rather have this extra time after the match, not before it.
What about Newcastle's fans? When they are playing the West Country boys, are the kick off times made earlier? Not that I'm aware of.
Living in the Midlands we are quite lucky that we aren't too far away from anywhere. Over the course of the season, I'm sure it will all even out.

Iain, those that do travel further may be affected, for example, if they catch the same line as I do to Leicester. There are no trains to London after 9.05 p.m. on a Saturday night. It is possible that the situation may be similiar on some other lines.
I am not too bothered apart from maybe the extra cost as I will be staying in Leicester overnight. However, it is not correct to say that not those travelling further wouldn't be affected too badly by the change in kick-off times.

My gripe is this game has been moved to 5.30pm to accommodate a TV channel that a significant percentage of the country cannot receive without cable or satellite. If it was on BBC1, BBC2 or Sky Sports, I wouldn't mind as much.
If it were not on S4C, it wouldn't be on TV at all. I haven't looked, but I assume that the BBC will be showing a match on Saturday or Sunday? And it is the Anglo-WELSH cup after all, we ought to be nice to them; they probably won't win anything this season!
I'll be watching via my Sky box and laughing at the commentary: glyylllgylggglylggyl Harry Ellis dffrffffffflllyylffffyyqwqddr Andy Goode, wellllcoccoooyyymftldlltlgogogoch TRY!

BJ I have the perfect solution for you. Come straight down to the new Walkabout with me after the game & watch the Munster V Ulster game. Kick off 19.30. You can have a few pints there before walking/staggering the 200 yards to the train station & home to bed:lol: I will expect to see you there as well at some point Simon seems your staying over in Leicester.
