Each coach will have a different build up for games. Gentle obviously likes the lads to be there 2 hours before kick off. No problem what so ever with, as i am of the opinion hanging around all day, does not do anyone any favours.
I didnt see any one moaning last season when no doubt Gentle will have had the same build up, irrespective of playing Sunday or Friday.

Yep, home and away supporter but after hearing the traffic report shortly beforehand I decided not to travel. What an idiot I feel now..

I think your a prize kn0b but he is a even bigger one.

Have I missed something? What the hell has diet got to do with anything?

Must be what the Pro’s do I guess.
They get to the club early to be fed (a bit like school breakfast)

Being couped up in the ground all day wouldn't do anyone any favours.
2 hours is ample time to prepare mentally and physically for a game of rugby.
Tonight was a struck of bad luck, it happens. Move on.

Strucking unlucky it was.

With warm downs, ice baths, rub downs and maybe post match food, the players probably won't leave the ground until 11pm at the earliest so they don't want to be there all afternoon

And maybe also to being a sanctamonious internet geek. Here's hoping
