I know some people prefer them, but I hate Saturday and Sunday afternoon games

Its an interesting fixture list for us and with the 2nd game being St's should provide us with a real test to see just where we are and the Cas/Radford/Fonua/Faraimo the 4th one in.

Its another tough easter period for us with the fixtures.

...you've missed the last 3 games, including the derby, the biggest money spinner set for the last game of the season.

And the first home game against Saints, now on tv at the unearthly hour of 12:30, is hardy going to bring in the desperately needed crowds.

Thanks just corrected.

Can't understand why the fixture committee have left the final fixture to a the derby as would have been much better before the end but as we play them on the obligatory good Friday fixture and at the MM then it doesn't leave much option.

Agree about the St's game at 12.30pm on a Saturday being a pretty crap time and its one even football fans aren't keen on but it may prove popular being so early in the season. To be honest can't say I'm liking the number of Saturday afternoon games. I think for families in particular its more of a negative than a positive as with so many things that families do on weekends Saturday fixtures really do through spanners in that and I can see some still attending the games regularly and some picking and choosing.

I know its all down to personal preference etc when it comes to game times but for me I've been a regular of the old Sunday afternoon format in the good old days but I actually preferred the Friday night games as they seemed to have a bit more atmosphere for me and seemed more enjoyable and it then left the weekend free. Thursday night games are a pain with the kids as they never want to get up for school the following morning.

It would be interesting to know from AP the reasoning behind the move to more Saturday afternoon games.

12:30 is hardly an unearthly hour, why do you think it is?

The fans will be there regardless anyway, times and dates aren't always going to suit everyone.

Rugby survives mainly through TV revenue so maybe the TV money far outweighs or offsets the crowd anyway.

Don't be so negative or look for fault.
Embrace what it is and either attend or not.

It used to be because they were tired but think after last season it was probably both
