    Anyone know when the MB will announce the date for this fixture? Have tickets but am flying out to Spain on the Saturday and am on edge waiting to hear. Its to be Friday Saturday or Sunday......The fact its the week before the Northampton game i am presuming and praying they will want as much time as possible to recover so please God its on the Friday. That would be the likely option wouldnt it???
    Anyone know when it will be announced?
    Thanks
    Pete

    fair enough, i would have thought that from a tv point of view (and particularly as the league is ponsored by MAGNERS) that they'd want people to be able to watch in the pub

    Makes sense alright, but just saying it hasn't stopped them in the past.

    If I had to guess I'd say the Saturday anyway.

    Its really hard to support the team if your not living in the region, suppose that goes with the territory though. Sure I'll just have to wait and see.

    Setanta will want it on Friday Night on Setanta Sports 1 and because the pub is closed you cant watch it there you'll have to upgrade your Setanta Package. Ching Ching for Setanta - a couple of hundred/thousand new subscribers?

    the game is scheduled for setanta 1.

    i know the broadcaster is getting stick but i have it on very good authority they offered to show teh game on either holy thursday r sat 3rd apri.

    celtic league rugby decided good friday as munster were not prepared to field a full strength team on the thurs and leinster were'nt repared to do so on the sat.

    the fixture was decided on the basis what was best for the games and not the local economy.

    i do feel sorry for publicans though. i can't see celtic league making thi smistake next year.

    Since when do Celtic rugby request the strenght of teams being fielded before deciding on fixture dates and times???????
