On official site it has down as saturday 25th,Saturday is the 26th March,Also a bit of a clash,England football team away against Wales with a 3:00pm kick-off same time as us,I would be tempted to get the kick-off changed if they could to 1:00pm and have the England game on the big screen or somthing after,Cant see much of a crowd for this one.

One of my pet hates.

Easily solved by looking at a calendar.

Toulouse always play on Saturdays in the UK, fits in best with their travel. Just unfortunate it clashes with Baa's v England.

Agree about the crowd, i know two regulars that will be missing. One will be at said international match, other is going to Dagenham & Redbridge v Wednesday.

Change it too 12.30pm or 5.30pm kick off, easily solved..

Perhaps we should change to avoid clashing with an away game in division 3 of another sport.

He's not suggesting that though, is he? Just saying someone will be going there rather than to the Eagles game. Kick off time should definitely be moved though as lots of people will want to watch the England game, if you consider it's not only a home nations game but a Euro qualifier, it's a pretty big game. Wednesday are kicking off at 1pm in Dagenham to allow people to watch both games. Bit of a pain in the butt for people who'd already booked their train tickets mind!

But irrelevant to the choice of kick off time.

If we assume that Toulouse are arriving on Friday and leaving Sunday, then the kick off time on Saturday is flexible, assuming United agree the change. A 6pm kick off would mean using the floodlights, if that makes any difference.

After the debacle in South Africa, that was me done with the England football team. I don't give a toss what happens in the game, although I hate losing enything to Wales.

Whenever you play. somebody will always find something else to do.

It's not just "something else" though is it Griff? As I explained in my previous post it's a pretty big game and anyone who takes an interest in football will probably want to watch it, I understand you probably don't and that's fair enough.

As for "being done" with England, I'll never give up on my country, no matter how bad we get! I'm proud to be English and will support my country in one of my favourite sports whether we're beating the Brazilians or fighting for a draw against Montenegro. They're crap but they're my crap. Bit like Wednesday, and Eagles sometimes!!

Wales v England is a big game ?



How far have we fallen ?

Not because we're playing Wales on the basis of their footballing ability, it's the context of the game. As far as internationals go, it's a local Derby. If Wednesday played Rotherham I wouldn't see it as a bigger game than us playing Gillingham for example, but there would be a much bigger crowd for obvious reasons, the local aspect. Add that to the fact it's a qualifier for a major tournament, a qualifying campaign we're so far unbeaten in and one in which Wales desparately need a win...it's a big game, and people will want to watch it. Let's hope this isn't refelcted in the attendance too much.

It's a funny one really,Theres so much varied sport on the weekend now,Theres always somthing to watch,agree with Eso that its not just an ordianry game,My 1st love is football but will be going to the Eagles game as not bothered enough to watch the England game over the Eagles game,Years gone by i would have chosen the England game without thinking but times move on,I would have liked to watch the England v Scotland game sunday when the Eagles game was on

But i made my choice,Taped it and watched it when i got in,I'll be doing the same that day.
