Moving To The Dark Side

I am going to start off with a moan. The Premiership cup has caused a few dilemmas with the demise of Worcester and Wasps and the mismatch of games played and finding games to play to even out the leagues. We were sitting in a good place with maximum points but needed one more fixture to balance out the league. The compromise that was drawn up was good giving 4 sides the extra game leaving and Exeter getting a result against Worcester. This meant we were to play Bath at home, a side who had nothing to play for. Now here is the gripe. It was always going to be mid week but is partly there to make up lost revenue at difficult times. So when picking the date why was 4th Jan chosen? It was already known at the time there would be rail strikes! The other extra game is not for two weeks so it is not down to the premiership requiring to get the games done. Ridiculous and a loss of an opportunity to garner extra income.
