What's the story with games on a Saturday evening?

Maybe Setanta will be showing the games live.

Setanta's covering 25 live Celtic League and Celtic Cup matches and will broadcast games involving Irish teams playing in Scotland and Wales.

Only those people with NTL will benefit as SKY nor Telewest have been dealt in on the scheme.

Sunday game against Bordersas well! Suppose this might allow more supporters to travel to away games like these, though. Trips will be able to be done without requiring days off work, for those of us who work 9-5 Mon-Fri.

Do you intend going to Kirk in Galashiels or do you think there will be time before you go to the game?

After a number of years with games on a Friday night - will Saturday games affect the crowd?

I have purchased a season ticket only to discover that I will not be able to attend several games as I am refereeing on Saturdays. How many other supporters will not be able to attend due to involvement at club level, even for 7.30 KO. There is a need for more money in the game, but at the expense of the supporters? Scottish rugby does not have a wide support base outwith those involved in the game.
