FULL (Day, date time) RABO FIXTURES (to round 13) TO BE RELEASED AT 15:00 TODAY

Just had an email from them

Excellent news - I can start looking at away trips then!

Here they are

Bit of a shame that Dragons v Zebre isn't on tv, if it's the only Welsh region at home on the Friday. It's obviously not that big a game, but you generally see Sky broadcast the new Aviva Prem's team. Bit weird that they aren't broadcasting at all that weekend.

I have tickets but can't go

My mate in Newport will get a suprise gift in the post though

Ospreys v Ulster on SATURDAY 8th September - I'm in like Flynn!

I'm not happy that Edinburgh kick off against Munster at 8 on a Saturday, what sort of timing is that! Going to have to rearrange my weekend. I hate Saturday night kick offs.

No pleasing some people.

Friday Night - Difficult with getting to match after working all day Friday
Saturday Afternoon - Busy playing for local club
Sunday - Can't have too many pints after as working Monday morning.

I am amazed that you are having a whinge about a Saturday evening kick off.

Its no wonder about six people turn up to watch Edinburgh play.

Stag, I realise you can't please everyone. A Saturday night kick off just doesn't work well for me, will still be at the game though.

Most Edinburgh ko's are Friday night which does work well for me, just having a grumble about this one.

I'm a fan of Friday kick offs, finish work, go to ground and on the beer.

Think that Fri suits teams in big population areas, where there is less travel involved, Cardiff, Leinster, Munster, Ulster, Edinburgh, Glasgow and maybe Ospreys.

For the rest Sat evening should be the time, (not Saturday afternoon because that is the Clubs that support the region/provinces time, and we shouldn't be competing with them) and some have to play Sunday.

Still no detail for Ulster v Dragons. I quite fancy a trip to Ravenhill.

12/13/14 Apr
Ulster
v
Dragons

Ravenhill

Think you can pretty safely assume it will be a Fri Kick off 19.05. Ulster try to play at this time, it suits (most) fans and BBNI

All of Leinster's home games in the league are on Saturdays.

Luckless, there is Munster v Dragons at Thomond Park. The one year we havent shipped you off to Musgrave Park.

Stag did you have a look at the spreadsheet?

you reckon you can use it?

I was just wondering your comment "what kind of timing is that" was just bizarre to me.

By far the best kick off time. I can understand if this particular time didnt suit but its by far the best kick off time for spectators both in bars and travelling to the game.

I'll look into it!

Great news. I look forward to analysing the fixtures of the best league in Europe.

I've got something done up for the games last season if you're interested in some stats Bil. Just PM me your email address and i can send it on

Was considering doing the same for this season but won't have the time, once the SS is set up a weekly update with scorers from each game will automatically fill all the other stats i can capture.

PM for you Mickado, thanks mate.

Thought I replied to your email pal.

Yea I had a look. It looks great. I am 50-50 on whether I can work it.

Its easy, you just complete the white cells.

The prediction sheet you put your whole seasons expectation in, and just clear the cells once the matches have been played.

Simples.

Im sure it'll be great. Just never used those type of things before.

I promise you it is a lot easier than it looks, I am going to check the stats mick sent me, then I am going to follow the Rabo on the same sheet just for fun.

Is there a Superbru on the RABO, must be?

There is dude

Stag, I think I know how you feel looking at my spreadsheet and never havng worked with it before.

But let me tell you I just recieved Mick's, it is ten times more evolved than mine and scary just to look at it.

Don't feel alone, I am humbled by the example of what I just saw.

Yeah, but that move has inconvenienced people. They should've just left it as Musgrave, seeing as we are generally there. People like to book up early.
