Apologies if this has completely passed me by previously, but I have just received an email from Quins informing me that they are due to play their LV cup semi final v Bath, at the Stoop at 12.15..............our fixture lists shows we are playing HKR that same day at 17.45?????

Double header anyone??

Yes...think we discussed this with the Quins insiders last week.

Pretty sure it is nailed on...some of the Quins supporters say they want to stay and watch our game!



Mmm...I want to see both games but a 3 and half hour gap between games is a bit dangerous! Might have to go back in to Twickers and actually eat something for a change.

A fantastic opportunity to promote/market our game.........1000's of RU fans already there........hopefully a Quins victory meaning they will retire to the bar.....then the U19'S at 3.15 as interim entertainment before the main game......happy days

Been done before with little effect!

Oooooooh........ woe, gloom and despondency!!......you gotta accentuate the positive..........eliminate the negative.....latch onto the affirmative and don't mess with Mr Inbetween......lol

p.s.
you want to watch the U19'S..........they'll make you smile/restore some hope.

Not again FFS.

Few beers last night Listy

Yes and nothing spoils my evening more than nonsensical calls for double headers.

Back to lurking...

is it on sky - is that the main reason for the move in time? shame if it is as one game could have followed the other without the 3 hours between games. I would have made the game instead I have to miss it because I already made arrangements for the evening . Or was it always an evening game and I just didnt notice

Yes both games are on Sky.

Our game was always an evening KO.

No point in trying a double header unless its a Skolars/ Broncos one!
All the RU fans will either head to the bar to drown their sorrows after losing to Munster or else they'll bugger off home! Surely no-one thinks a serious number of them would stay to watch our game?

12000 stayed for the Hudson game in 2006........honest guv!

So our game has been moved to 6.15 (club web site). No mention of a double header, so I assume they will be doing a sweep of the ground to make sure that no RU supports/stragglers are left behind.......heaven forbid that we should ever encourage someone to watch us.

Got to give the Warder time to get his paint pots out - after all he needed to before the Widnes game, but that's another story!

So Gus was
1. unpacking the gear in the club shop
2. putting up the Selco banner

and now rumoured to be painting the ground as well. This is truly remarkable!!!

Is there nothing he can't do?

More time in the Wetherspoons then

I think we should let our Antipodean correspondent answer that one.
