New date for Scunthorpe at home

Last updated : 03 February 2009 By Foxes First

So not to clash with Leicester Tigers the Foxes will face Scunthorpe the night before, Friday 24th April, 7:45pm. The rugby must play Saturday at 3:00pm to comply with league rules.

Foxes chief executive Lee Hoos told the club's official website: "We have looked at all possible options and we believe playing the game on the Friday evening is the best solution.

"We did not want to schedule the game on a Sunday and then possibly have to move it again to a Friday evening due to Sky.

"You can never predict these things with certainty, but it will be a big League One fixture."
