Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
The football league have decided to move the games forward for their final day fixtures from Sunday 8th to Saturday 7th May. BBC and SKY will both be showing live games of the final day. Kick offs will be 12:45 across the country at request of the police as in the last few seasons violence has been seen in the stands on the last day at several grounds as emotions run very very high!!

Thing is we play London Irish on the last day of the Premiership same day at 3pm. SAG said they'd never let city and Tigers play on the same day due to health and safety, gridlock traffic/parking, LRI ambulances and 4 sets of fans in the city is unsafe at once. If things are riding on both games I'd expect 32,500+ 24,000 fans in the city.
How is this gonna work?

Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
I would say it works like this
Our date and time have been in place for months
They (football people) make an application to Council/police to play at the same time
Council/police say - we a terribly sorry but we cannot allow that
They say - we have TV riding on this
Police say TOUGH ..........get over it
well that is how it should work .. I dare say someone.. ie. US! will probably be bent over and well and truly rogered senseless! ... and ave to capitualte.

Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
As usual, one or the other will be moved - let the TV companies fight it out ? But all Premiership rugby fixtures on the final day of the rugby season are always at the same time on the same day so it will be interesting to see the outcome
Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
true, but if it is left to the media to choose the final day of the championship football or the rugby premiership- there is only ever one option? especially as BBC and SKY are showing games, and all games in the football must kick off at the same time too.
Tigers will inevitably have to move to accommodate as i cant see SAG allowing even staggered kick offs. If there was an incident they would be slaughtered.

Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.
Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
We will move to another day on basis that by then we will be uncatchable at the top of the table whereas City will still be fighting relegation and wishing they hadn't sacked Sven!

Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
Based on current form.... Yes!
Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
Fingers crossed. I bought our tickets for this game believing it wouldn't be moved because Sky had scheduled it for broadcast.
I can't believe that these fixtures cannot be co-ordinated. Surely whoever brings out their fixture lists first could submit them to the other league who could then feed the relevant fixtures in to their computer and avoid this problem. Especially relevant where the ground is shared between two sports.

Don't the Premiership rules state that the last round of matches all have to KO at the same time...could be interesting....

Everything was fine until very recently, i.e. the Aviva premiership played its last league matches on Sat 7 May (3pm k/o throughout) and the soccer Championship played its final league matches on Sun 8 May (3pm k/o throughout). Now, the football league in conjunction with Sky & BBC have moved the football forward by just over 24 hours to a 12.45 k/o. Surely Sky, if none of the others, are aware we no longer can play a home match on the same day as the football team.
Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.

So why is it so vitally important the football now has to be on the Saturday?

Re: Final Day Fixture Clash Saturday 7th May
The football league rules also state that the final round of games should kick off at the same time for the same reasons.
