Play off game v Belfast

[Sheincar]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/wales/32012215

This says 1st leg is home next Sunday. Is anyone else bothered by this? We don't play well after a long gap in games plus it then means the 2nd leg falls in the week running up to playoff weekend.

I would have thought it's more likely that the BBC has got it wrong.

Higher ranked team traditionally gets the second leg, so yeah I agree with Finny, I think the BBC may have misinterpreted it.

EIHL fixtures show 1st leg in Belfast Saturday March 28.

Not announced officially yet by the Giants.

I imagine it's going to be very hard and expensive to arrange travel over, on a weekend and in less than a week.

Thought Todd mentioned that the away leg was possibly going to be on Friday

It doesn't seem to matter where we finish we always seem to get the toughest tie! :evil:

Ah well, it worked for us in the Challenge Cup I guess. :Banana

Belfast have confirmed their home leg will be on the Friday.

Awesome Webcast Friday, live game Sunday.

Premier Sport have a game lined up for Friday - could it be this 1st leg against Belfast?

 

[Wannabe2]

It's not on the planner Chris.

I'd of thought so yes, I may be wrong but I think we're the only ones with a game on Friday confirmed so far..

 

[Wannabe2]

It also says to be confirmed on there website.

247 tv the folks behind the Premier Coverage were talking of our tie being the "tasty" fixture as far as live games go.

with them withdrawing from our game last weekend they are due another visit to us so it's a strong possibility they will be covering it.

If that's the case I'm glad I bought the Premier Sports Live Viewer for the month! £9.99 well spent

Don't know if this adds anything decisive to the Premier TV thing or not, but Giants are currently selling the webcast for Friday night at £4.99 (early bird purchase) which would suggest now Premier TV coverage.
