Although the fixtures were out today I would bet at least 10 of ours are changed...more if we are having a good season...with rugby, Sky and potential bubble matches...I think the first may well be the Hammers for Sky...maybe on the Friday night or the Sunday....

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the other way around actually
If we were at home to Wigan on that day (that is if we'd been promoted), we'd certainly get priority !
Honestly though, is it just me or is interest in the Wales egg-chasing side deteriorating ? The Millenium looked empty the last time they played there the other day !

no chance, rugby takes priority whether we like it or not.

Maybe so, but, hopefully, things will change for good and football will get priority !

The rugby fixtures are known well in advance to be fair so it's always going to be us forced to change. Even if we were in the Prem I can't see the rugby changing because all their dates are set in stone and televised. If we were in the Prem we may have the choice to keep our fixtures in place even if they clash with the rugby but that may be down to the police. You make it sound like we have a chip on our shoulder about the rugby. We should embrace both sports even if we don't like one of them. The rugby brings a lot of media coverage to Cardiff and Wales and a lot of money into the city. We moan about the coverage it gets but I think that football gets just as much coverage in the Welsh media. Perhaps we should chill about it or we'll come over just like the jacks do moaning about the media being Cardiff-centric.
