The Saracens game is an absolute genius level move because it’s the same day as the Manchester Marathon. So much of the city centre and surrounding suburbs will be closed off and the travel network will be absolutely heaving.

I’m also somewhat annoyed as I’m running the marathon and assuming I start at the same time as last year, if I manage to hit my target time then I’ll be finishing by the University at about 1.15pm and the last thing I’ll want to do as an exhausted runner is fight my way through the crowds and onto the tram to get to the game from Piccadilly!

One game a month at home until July.

Not the club's fault, but a wider issue with the Premiership. Who the hell cares or can piece together a credible narrative about the Prem when it is one home game a month? How do you keep kids / fans engaged? Something special happens in the final minute v Sarries and we all go home thinking ' oooooh I cant wait for the Tiggers game, just four short weeks...'

Such as shame as for me Club rugby > International, and the League > than the Cups. But now its a busted flush.

At least no Saturday games until June which is a blessing. Saturday games are a real pain if you are heavily involved in grass roots rugby.

Also impossible to get a reasonably priced hotel room on a Saturday.

Not sure how helpful this is for people on this forum, but I've just booked my room at the Travelodge for the 19th April. £60.

Thought this may be the most sensible place for this:

Quins vs Sale in the last 16 confirmed for 8pm on Saturday 4 April.

I wonder if the club have specifically requested Sunday games as a trial to see if our attendances are boosted as a result of fans having more travel time.

They’ve been all in on Friday night games for the past few years but given how attendances seem to have dropped off this could be a concerted tactic. The Quinn’s and Sharks games (I know the first one was technically a Friday but a BH) had much better crowds.

Will tickets be available via Sale?

Thanks. I don't have X, but I did check the website and couldn't see anything. Is it so hard to update the website at the same time as X?

I can update my own website instantly.

If anyone is thinking of going to Quins by train there are engineering works at Euston Friday 4th to Wednesday 8th.

Loads of disruption, not many (if any) direct trains

Oh nuts. I had planned on taking the West Coast line down there.
