sentoffagain2 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Why couldn't reverse the fixture and play Toulouse at home on 1st May and away 1st August?.Or is that a too simple solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we will get the gate income in August that we wouldn't if the fixture was reversed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What when people are at the coast on a weekend away or on Holliday,crowds usually drop off in August as a retired Bookie it was one of our quietest months.

So (assuming spectators are allowed come August) you think the gate will be 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.... I'm not privy to the current a/c at fev, and if we can turn away approx 30k gate receipts plus 15k secondary income by switching the fixture, then we're in much better shape than I thought. To me it would be crackers switching the fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will get better the more games you play together irrespective of the opposition but having said that dropping the ball or forward passes is nowt do do with form it's just down to sloppiness and on their report card it would say Can do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match was postponed by the RFL and may be played later in the season if the fixture can be accommodated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaw llewellyn Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 So Toulouse have 100% win ratio so they might as well not play another game and finish top of the league and get promoted. I think that they actually need to play a minimum number of games but for me it's points that determine who is the best team not percentages.

I think that they actually need to play a minimum number of games THAT'S true to get promoted you have to qualify for the playoffs and clubs will be required to have played 70% of their league fixtures (16 out of 22 in the Betfred Championship) to qualify for the play-offs. So if TO don't play another game they won't be in them finish top of the league and get promoted NOT really to get promoted you have to get to the grand final even if you finish 5th like we did 2019 and then WIN it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
