Thought it was the other way around. Thought Duffen was offered dates by the RFL and he said he couldnt guarantee until the Premier League fixtures are out? In fact I distinctly remember him saying such on the radio.

We've obviously heard different stories, has Duffen ever made a statement about it?

| Why couldn't the RFl have chosen a date they required. City could then have rearranged a game to suit, it's not exactly hard work and at the end of the day it is Sky who get to move fixtures around willy nilly to suit their broadcasting, and as the rugby will be on sky there would have been no problem.
Hell Sky would most likely have made sure City were on the next day so they didn;t have to move the cameras etc

| Duffen was sent dates by the RL and refused to confirm that any of them were avilable because he did not know what the Football fixtures were! he said h he had already asked the FL to avoid Clipper weekend and HUll Fair and it appeared by that , that he was not prepared to ask for another dispensation for a RL interational!

Which is completely fair, the operational rules in Football are strict for a reason, if he's already had dispensation twice then why should he ask again, there are plenty of other venues for international games.
In the FOOTBALL season the FOOTBALL club is the most important tenant, like we are during the RUGBY season.

Surely City's major problem with the premier league are the actual games they have to play. The odd abandonment or two would simply have been a save facer

I did a special FC one, just now, in the mirror!
There has been so much unsubstantiated garbage about City on these forums over the years it's untrue.

| I think its all to do with when a stadium hosts a RL international the gate receipts (or large percentage )go to the RL and not in this case to Duffens company. Duffen would only make a profit on drinks, food etc.
Therefore he really cant be bothered going out of his way to make sure the Stadium hosts a fixture which is a poor show really as although it wouldnt make him a fortune surely as the gaffer of a sports stadium he needs to take into consideration fans of the sport.
