The sarries game is on TV and also being streamed in America. Speaking of which, were we not supposed to be playing Sale in the US???

Starting with a home game on Saturday at 3pm - can't be right??

Don't get too excited. The next three home games after that are evening kick-offs, 2xFriday 1xSaturday, and the club have tweeted they have provisional confirmation from Prem Rugby that our final home game will be played on Friday the 3rd of May.

Try this for now, all of our fixtures:

https://www.quins.co.uk/news/201819-gallagher-premiership-fixtures-confirmed/

Quins have also said that:

"We have provisional confirmation from Premiership Rugby that our Round 21 fixture against Leicester Tigers will be played at The Stoop on Friday 3rd May"

I'd much prefer our last home game to be a Saturday.

the season seems to be finishing late - usually the last game is the fist Saturday in May.  This time it is 2 weeks later

2nd home game against Bath also a 3pm KO - but after that yes, not many Saturday 3pms lined up.

The final home game is being moved from the Saturday because it would clash with the Army/Navy game. So it does appear to be a week longer as a season, considering we clashed with that last season on the last w/e of the regular season...

Yh just realised, plus fair play to Quins they replied to me pretty quickly on Twitter:
"Our match against would clash with Army v Navy at Twickenham Stadium if played on the Saturday. Following feedback from supporters last season we have provisionally agreed to move it to Friday night."

Of course the other option would be for Premiership Rugby to allocate Quins an AWAY game the w/end of the Army v Navy game.  Anyone know why the last game is so late (18th May)? It's not as if we are starting later.

I'd much rather see it moved to the Sunday instead. That way folks with a distance to travel don't have to use the car, can enjoy a day in the sun, & socialise over a few beers afterwards.

True. They couldn't do it last season because every game of the final round has to start at the same time. Probably they want to keep it that clubs alternate between Home and Away games on the final round. As to why it's finishing so late, it probably has to do with the scheduling around European cup knock-out games?

Last home game of the season against Leicester, last time this happened wasn't it the championship season?

Big game being Wasps is good news.

But I can’t believe they’re going to move the last game of the season to a Friday night. Surely this is one that has to be in the daytime. If need be a Sunday. It’s usually one of the best days of the season with kids on the pitch etc.

Oh, I totally agree. I can totally understand that they want to move the game away from the Army/Navy game after last season, but we should lobby the club to move it to the Sunday.
