Of course that true, but the point being made is even if they didn't the KO time would have clashed with the rugby anyway; and the idea of rugby six nations KO times being changed to accommodate the County is pure fantasy.neilcork68 wrote: February 6th, 2023, 2:14 pmOLDCROMWELLIAN wrote: February 6th, 2023, 2:10 pmThe reality being of course that County fans are a tiny number compared to the number of rugby six nations attendees and TV watchers, and are therefore understandably completely irrelevant to the broadcasters that set the KO times for such matches.UPTHEPORT wrote: February 6th, 2023, 1:56 pm Put it this way most county fans I know are not interested in peanut hugging can't we ask them to change KO times for a change
Nothing to do with the Rugby....It was the POLICE that changed the kick off time due to previous years 'TROUBLE'

There are plenty of supporters at The County who like both codes.
There were more people in the Newport pubs wearing red rugby tops than amber County tops.
The rugby was also on the TV screen in Bar Amber, no one in there was complaining or asking to switch over to football.
Sky football was also on a TV in bar Amber.
As for changing rugby kick off times, get real, The Welsh Rugby Internationals go out to a much bigger audience that the few of us who go down to RP so they are not going to change times for a small club like County.
Wrong. Newport have been at home not infrequently when Cardiff were also at home. In any event we could always play either Friday night or Sunday.Bangitintrnet wrote: February 6th, 2023, 2:46 pmSwansea and County are home when Cardiff are away and vice versa.UPTHEPORT wrote: February 6th, 2023, 12:33 pm It's strange that Swansea didn't worry or have to change KO Saturday

Get over it! Some people don't like other sports I also can't stand motor sports what's the point.
And the peanut hugging changing KO was a bit of irony but that's a bit to much for you to take in obviously

Wonder why it was so long with the attendance
In the old days County liaised with the then Football League to avoid clashing with the rugby internationals. There may be good reasons why Newport County were unable to do this or it might have been a ****-up by the club. I'm sure we won't be told.
Due to past seasons 'crowd trouble' I am sure it was 'Gwents finest' ( The Police) that made it a 12.45 kick off. and no tickets on the day sales...not the clubs
The club did post on their news feed on January 19th that the game had been brought forward to that time due to ' safety fears'
Just my view, the police are our servants, or at least should be. Taxes paid pay the police to protect the 99.9% of us who behave properly to go about our lawful occasion without fear of the 0.01% of the population who want to stop us.
Watching football is not a crime.

I am sure but correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t sporting teams only pay for policing inside the ground, not how many them have in the town?

I worry about you, I really do.
If Wales are playing on a Sunday, County could/should play on the Saturday. And vice versa. I doubt somehow that many people would have chosen not to attend a County match played yesterday on the basis that the Italy v France game was on the television.Bangitintrnet wrote: February 6th, 2023, 7:16 pmWell as we are talking about the six nations clashing with the football, out of 5 Wales fixtures County and Cardiff are home and away in 4.Stan A.

Only fixture that is the same is 18th of March when both teams play away.
The six nations is also on a Sunday.
County have to agree with the FA and the opposition to change days/times. Simply because something suits the County, doesn't mean that it suits everyone else. Both Swindon and County are playing on Tuesday, so Sunday doesn't suit either. The Dragon's sometimes play on a Friday.Stan A.

Precisely, changing the times / days cause other problems, and don't actually result in bigger gates, so why bother?Percy plunkett wrote: February 6th, 2023, 8:08 pm The club used to change ko times because of the rugby then decided to play 3pm as early starts didn’t result in bigger crowds.This change was made by the police I feel.The surprise to me was 12.45 meaning that the games overlapped ,a midday ko would have seemed more logical and,providing less time for Swindon fans to drink.
I suspect that the real reason for the early kick off was to restrict the amount of time Swindon supporters were in the centre of Newport drinking before the match. Nothing to do with the rugby unless officers were to be sent to Cardiff after our match.Percy plunkett wrote: February 6th, 2023, 8:08 pm The club used to change ko times because of the rugby then decided to play 3pm as early starts didn’t result in bigger crowds.This change was made by the police I feel.The surprise to me was 12.45 meaning that the games overlapped ,a midday ko would have seemed more logical and,providing less time for Swindon fans to drink.
