Drovers v RFC - 30TH

I think it's more about the revenue they will lose Mart. Makes no sense financially and that's what everyone bleats on about. Friendly or not it shouldn't clash with a game that our supporters would also want to see. Also shouldn't their fans also be Scarlets fans and not want to miss the Gloucester game?? By saying what you said, it seems that they don't follow the region in Llandovery....

Tidy.

If Drovers v Llanelli kicked off at 2:30, game would be done and dusted by 4:30 at the latest. And if the Scarlets rearranged their game to KO at say 6:30 - 7:30, wouldn't it be better for all concerned? Just a thought.

Agree Haydn, either side needs to give. It's like the regions v WRU in miniature for gods sake !!

Yep you are bang on Mark. they must have more money than we thought if they can afford to lose £12 x how many of us who would normally go. Got to be a grand if you add food, drink, programmes etc... Bonkers that even within our own region, we can't sort this out !

Damn, we should have thought of that.  The main objection to switching the date is that we don't want Buchanan stuffing the Llanelli side with off-duty Scarlets! I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you - the winner still has to face Quins.

really ?

apart from the fact that it wouldnt be buchanans decision to "stuff llanelli with off duty scarlets", i doubt it would have happened anyway. we used about 84 players last season and regularly struggled to put together a squad and had lots of players from division 3, 4, 5 etc., and on a couple of occasions when we couldnt fill the bench.

if 2 clubs and the region they feed cant work together and sort out clashing fixtures, its no wonder that welsh rugby is in a mess.
