Last season I'm pretty sure we took priority for every game that was a clash... Guess with them being in the premier league they’ll begin to take priority. Maybe next season we’ll be Premier league and retake the priority crown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Dunno if it's been covered on here but we're not the only club at all: Quote "The following fixtures are currently affected due to clashes with Wasps fixtures: Coventry City v Peterborough – Saturday 24 November 2018 Coventry City v Burton Albion – Saturday 9 March 2019 Coventry City v Bristol Rovers – Saturday 6 April 2019 Coventry City v Shrewsbury Town – Saturday 27 April 2019 We will update supporters further as soon as we are able to." 3 of the 4 have been moved for rugby. With one still to be confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCyder Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I quite like Friday night games as in theory, they free up the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately, they also encourage straight from work drinking on a Friday afternoon and dying in bed for the whole of Saturday so the theory doesn't always work. I'll try not to complain about all the changes as it'll be even worse if we ever got to the PL. I don't like the thought of numerous early Sunday games.

Always assumed the Council owned it but Wasps the more senior tenants...not that I much care about rugby but always seems wrong to me that, moving Wasps from London where they were originally from, all the way to Coventry! Ridiculous tbh. I don't know if it's fully true but sure I read on here that there were Rugby rules that said in the event of a clash, rugby had to take precedence in the top flight- since the big push for prominence in America.

wayne allisons tongues Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hasn’t the Blackburn game been moved due to the Rugby? Think they are playing Friday night live on BT Sport and with all the cables cameras etc. they use would be difficult for us to play 3pm on a Saturday.

Good point that- it might need a turnaround time of the extra day instead of merely finish 10pm or whatever, then scramble to get it fine for about 3pm on a Saturday (then knock off 1 and a half or 2 hours because they start doing pre match drills on the pitch at 1.30, 2pm- something like).

xerox6060 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't like the moves because of the rugby, and may now miss a game because of it,... but I accept the fact its a shared stadium so it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the fixtures on my phone calendar manually because I don't know how to do it automatically. The Bristol v Northampton games is at Ashton Gate on Saturday. Hence the Villa game on Friday. I do understand how such changes can interfere with fans plans etc. For me, I'll be at the Gate on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Anyone living in Ashton with a spare bed on Friday night?

Dr Balls Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Get ready for more Friday and Sunday games because the Rugby Premiership require their clubs to have primacy amongst tenants, especially when there is a fixture clash. And against the wishes of many of the rugby fans who wanted games on a Sunday, which has been the case in the last 10-15 years and allowed them to go to their local amateur club to play or support on a Saturday, the "Bears" rugby coach apparently wanted their home games to be played on a Saturday afternoon. And what he says goes.... It's pain for me as I am supposed to be in Sheffield on that Friday of the Villa match & I am going to struggle to get back for 7.45 at the Gate.
