Can't I just watch a rugby match, without a load of singing and dancing and stuff?

I just want a game of rugby. Is that so unnatural?

Then the Big Game is perfect for you, the singer - if there is one - is only before the game or during half time and is usually just there for the kids. Otherwise it's a big game of rugby.

Got mine.  I really enjoy it, out of this and the double header so glad we kept this.  Usually a good game and great atmosphere, I don’t think the side shows take over just add to a good day out.  Each to there own though otherwise it wold be a dull world.

Don't forget the irritating Mexican wave.....

Never been one at a Big Game that I’ve seen. One got attempted last year or year before and rightly died on its bottom.

It’s a great Xmas tradition and a really good event.

Well said FF
Mind you as for the don’t get Mexican waves, they usually have a good go and it dies a death

My family love going,more so than the Stoop, for me always prefer the Stoop, but as Fred said it’s good for the club so once a year is fine
Still waiting in trepidation that we might have a game in the states for a big game , now that I won’t support

If its primary purpose is growing the fan base then its working and I support it, but it isn't my favourite match of the year I have to agree with some. Totally unscientific view but, Prem Final 2012, Quins fans seemed to outnumber Tigers fans that day and that couldn't have happened without BG.

With a new 25,000 stadium (or someone even said 30,000) to fill, BG will be running for some years to come.   

Its a great release from Xmas cabin fever. Love it!

Yep! Marketing as a family event (and using the lure of things like X-Factor winners in the early days meant that kids & younglings not particularly into Rugby would happily go with parents, alongside the chance for parents to get out of the house for a few hours in that long week between Christmas & New Year was a great idea. Yes, other clubs have managed to get decent crowds to games at other times (e.g. Sarries at Wembley, Bath or Wasps at TW), but really we've been the most successful out of all of them because we picked the ideal time of the year, and somehow we've yet to have a poor overall performance, so people are now beginning to see it as a part of their Christmas routine.
