there's probably a group confined in smoke filled room (somewhere in England where they can still) until as long as it takes thrashing out the deal with Sky Sports - they usually dictate the dates and have to line them up with other events. Maybe Michael O'Leary is in the mix working out a flight deal

Wouldn't say so, as the home team has until the 12th February to notify the ERC of a venue change.El Diablo wrote:Does the delay in the KO time and venue announcement make a move to Loftus Road more likely? Not only would Loftus Rd be a more convenient location but I think we could get nearly 5,000 ticket allocation.

Loftus road is very handy to get to and it also means yiu can stay in Kensington for the weekend. Very suitable for us Leinster folk.El Diablo wrote:Does the delay in the KO time and venue announcement make a move to Loftus Road more likely?

Last time I was in Loftus Road was 1995....

I doubt it will be in LR though. Firstly, why give up home advantage? Secondly, when Fulham were redeveloping Craven Cottage a few years ago, they needed a home for a couple of seasons. Wasps were ground sharing with QPR at the time, and QPR decided they'd rather have Fulham than Wasps. There was a great hoo-ha here last year when QPR wanted Wasps to return, but Wasps have decided to stay put at AP, and so, even for a one-off, I really can't see them going to LR. I think there's too much bad-blood.Leinsterman wrote:Loftus road is very handy to get to and it also means yiu can stay in Kensington for the weekend.

Bleugh! I worked in Charing Cross Hospital for a summer and we drank in the pubs just across the road from the place.sheepshagger wrote: Its also just around the corner from where I used to live. . infact LM its not far from the big Shepherds Bush Walkabout, where I'm sure some Aussie or Kiwi will serve you a nice warm pint
