Home fixtures to be confirmed then changed on a whim the week before for TV would be more apt.

Love this:

"24/25/26 Dec (H) Saints v Bath"

Really? 24th or 25th or 26th December? Much as I'd love a Christmas Eve game to start the festivities .......

Could be the 24th, it is a Saturday and gives the players Xmas day off for a change.

Looks to me as though we've done quite well with the away games we're due to play while the WC is on. Home games too, potentially.

Do my eyes deceive me or are the fixtures with tigers unaffected by international fisxtures???

Wasps should be 24th March as the 10th is AWC semi finals and shouldn't have a Premiership fixture.

That's what I thought, Si, but I was reluctant to put it in the article as "gospel".

Could have been a lot worse, the only dent in my season ticket is the one home game during my month in NZ for the RWC pool games.

Just out of interest - once it was obvious that so many matches were going to be televised by ESPN last year (even though we were able to go to all home matches) we decided to 'splash the cash' for the sake of the away ones.

So we had a chat with the people at Sky, didn't accept their (as advertised) first offer and talked them into a really good deal.

Loads of opportunities for Healey to slag off Saints during his inimitable punditry then.
