It’s not rugby related I think. Dragons are away that weekend (if they beat Northampton Saints the week before.

I assume it is because Newport are due to play on the 13th, so it gives them an extra day recovery time, and gives un an extra day to recover for our next match the following Saturday.

How about thinking about the bloody fans for a change.
People look forward to a game on a Sat. at 3 pm like it should be,
not 6pm on a sodding Friday night.

For the Stags who've got a game on the previous Monday,
it would make more sense to play on Sat. anyway.
Who gives a toss about Newport.

Newport have a game on the Monday as well, so it makes no difference.

Friday - Monday - Friday. Not much different to Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday.

Do we play better in the evening than the afternoon? Not checked results but maybe that's why :lol:

Maybe with our schedule as it is an 8 day gap could be beneficial in getting the injured lads back?

We've no game on Tuesday so 6 days work then a busy 8 days and then 8 days work?

You said it would make more sense for us to play on the Saturday, when it actually makes very little difference. That was my point.

We wouldn’t have agreed to it if it didn’t suit us. It will also give our staff the chance to go and watch games on the Saturday when some wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.

So sod the fans then.
Let's play every game on a Friday at 6pm.

You're really not getting it are you?

How many games this season have been moved to a Friday this season?

I made no comment on your ‘sod the fans’ theory. Only the other point you made about us playing on Monday.

So do you think it's a reasonable move to change the game to a Friday to accommodate Newport's preparations for the following Tuesday?

I don't because it's at the expense of our fans who expect and look forward to a 3pm Saturday KO.

That's all really.

I think it’s reasonable yes, in this unprecedented season.

OK then, that's fine, we disagree!

I think the club should be more concerned about looking after its own fans than
appeasing the whims of the opposition.

IF that's what's happened, and this is all speculation until the club tell us otherwise.

What fans?.. there is none in the stadium
This season is already over for us...absolutely nothing to play for... Nobody really cares as we limp up to the 46 game mark (see the lack of interest on match threads)

Seriously JR is not gunna be bothered that afew people wont be buying a match pass cos there at work... Lets just get this awful season over with.

The Radfords are probably quite pleased . More Saturday afternoon sunbathing time for Carolyn to soak up those rays .
