We shouldn't move for the rugby, how pathetic does that look. If it was in Cardiff then fair enough but its at Twickers , we are bigger than moving our fixtures around rugby games. I'll be watching the City game then heading up to town to catch the rugby.

No grounds to change kick off time, rugby is 125 miles away?
Besides don't see English clubs asking to change their game times? :o

Completely disagree, how do you think that would go down with Ipswich fans?

Just think how annoyed we'd be if we were playing at Ipswich and it got moved to 1pm, meaning leaving very early, just because there was a rugby match 100 miles from Portman Road.

Do Accrington/Bury/Oldham etc move their home games to 1pm if Man United or Man City are playing at 3pm?

Would have made total sense to bring the ko forward an hour or so. The 2 codes do not have to compete with each other and like it or not the 6 nations is a great event and England v Wales always a huge game that many football fans want to see. It will force people to make a choice and only Cardiff City can lose.

Problem is, we've always had a minority who hate rugby and kick off when we change to accommodate it.

Half of them probably don't go any more either.

Also early kick offs affect families where the lads play Saturday AM.

Can't win really, shame the egg wasn't on at 5

Perhaps they should change the kick off for the egg?

There really isn't a reason to change kick off time

I know people want to watch the rugby but our club and the league have no reason to change it , different if the rugby was actually a mile down the road in Cardiff

The rugby game doesn't effect the football game in any way at all
