The downside on a personal basis is that I generally have to work so couldn't get along to the game but I could go on a Friday evening. All things considered I think that a Saturday option is always best for the vast majority of fans. It's true that so many faithful fans travel a long way for the home games and the complications and additional burdens that a "non-Saturday" game brings is pretty tough on them.<br />Steve Bennett (aka @bathbugle)<br />Roman Candles of BathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759249121599559694.post-46989092035453395062014-03-13T07:47:46.568-07:002014-03-13T07:47:46.568-07:00I'm glad you mentioned the legends evening, I ...I'm glad you mentioned the legends evening, I regretfully forgot to put it in. <br />I was trying to go with an even balance between pros and cons, although it was very tricky, especially when you look at the number of fixture not on a Saturday.bathbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779182671902904467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759249121599559694.post-22490208563430057712014-03-13T06:13:26.395-07:002014-03-13T06:13:26.395-07:00Good post.

Also, the Friday evening before the Northampton game the Legends evening was supposed to have taken place, this has now been cancelled until September. Good point about the local businesses being affected. This is absolutely true as we quite often bring our wives who shop while we watch the rugby.

For local business, the fans and I would imagine the club. The Northampton game is our last home game of the season.. providing we get a semi final I i would put my life on it being away, im sure the club would of had something planned to say thank you to the fans for our loyal support through the season. These plans maybe be ruined buy it now being a friday night game. with less time and no practicality to put something on for the fans.<br /><br />@tomdabs<br />Tom The Off Seasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430808988345809654noreply@blogger.com
