[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 941871, member: 45598"] They've changed the schedule for one, having the semi finals and/or quarter finals on bank holiday weekends is moronic, they up the prices for semi final tickets to a price many aren't willing to pay, they're using the final as a tool to "grow the game" bringing it to the most random of places (Bilbao, Lyon, Newcastle and Marseille all will host a final before Ireland, Scotland and Wales ever do) and it's nowhere near as well marketed as the old tourney. Apart from the semi final venue qualification being better and the less diluted team pool meaning the Welsh aren't guaranteed their spot any more I really think the EPCR ****** this up from a business perspective in comparison to the Hcup.
