Big C Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Am I missing something how does moving the Blackburn game aid the team’s recovery and alleviate fixture congestion? We don't play midweek in the week before and have a two week break after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change now on the chance one of us get through rather than wait and change late?

It’s the Downs music event with Noel Gallagher on the Saturday, so probably due to traffic and crowd management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 29, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Moved to alleviate fixture congestion - since when has that been a reason to move games to a Sunday afternoon?? I wonder if Bristol rugby will suddenly be playing on those Saturdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then have the Twickenham thing involving 4 teams around Aug bank holiday with first games proper in first week of Sept, which if they have a home game first that’s why we have moved.

RedM Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 And also it’s the Downs Festival thing, Noel Gallagher on the 1st Sept, so no rushing up there from football for some now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I can cope with a move to Sundays, but why a 1.30 KO? That’s just the wrong time to play a football match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Rugby Premiership website The process for selecting this first group of fixtures takes up to six months. The process actually begins in January, when the season structure for the coming season is agreed by the Professional Game Board. Premiership Rugby then works with ATOS, an IT company that also work with the Premier League and EFL on their fixtures, to develop Premiership Rugby’s fixture list. From January we look at all possible options for fixtures, and then in March we consult with the clubs on a number of variables that will impact the fixtures list. So can't understand why the EFL/Rugby wouldn't know we were organised to be home that day as the same company organises both sets of fixtures.
