dropdeadfred Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 What's wrong with fev kicking off at 1pm then england match in the clubhouse at 3pm, this way widnes fans won't get home too late on Sunday and they don't have to set off for the games too early either, can still have some sort of beer promotion on and nibbles too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon 12 would be better, rather earlier than later you know what people are like after an england game and beer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty minutes before a gig, he dons the suit and walks out as though he's on his way to a caning from the headmaster, Except its Angus that does the whipping!!

FaxMachine Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Common sense has to prevail and its obvious the majority of rugby fans will put the England game 1st and dont forget the players will also want to watch the game. If thought out correctly the club can benefit with lots of money made on drinks in the bar. Hopefully a quick decision can be made. If that is really the case (which I doubt) then it's no wonder that RL is considered a minority sport and will always remain so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's all about maximising business opportunities. I know some are primarily rugby fans - I'm one of them. However a 3pm ko would see crowds seriously affected. A 1pm ko would give the club an opportunity to maximise bar sales, give fans the opportunity to watch both and make the most out of the opportunity. As a club we can't afford NOT to do this!

tms Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 moving the kickoff is a bit annoying because it spoils my sun afternoon in the B&S but I can understand the club wanting to utilise the potential of income from bar sales from people wanting to watch ingurland. however onthe widnes forum theres alot of people talking about not coming now its moved cant please everyone. whats made me laugh about this reading on other forums and the muted hysteria about ingurland and the need to watch haven't people heard of sky plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
