       This may be a daft question but following mailer and :-
       Due to this fixture being the chosen Gallagher Game Day, please
       note that the North Village structure will be closed to the
       public for the duration of the day.
       Do other clubs have to give up facilities for Gallagher?

       Disappointing, think they closed it a couple of times last
       season didn't they?
       I thought the club said they were going to try and avoid this
       happening.

       The sponsors are essential so, we do have to accommodate their
       requirements (to a point).
       The fans only contribute part of the club's expenses. The
       sponsors contribute another part. The owner pays for the rest.
       So - we all need to play nicely with other.
       Losing access to the indoor space is a nuisance. But, for me,
       the main reason I am going on Saturday is to watch the game.
       Supplemental things such as bars, food, entertainment, etc are
       all just extras and I am willing to work around what is
       available.
       On Saturday, knowing that this area is unavailable will just
       mean that we change our plans and spend pre-match at Twickenham
       Brewery instead. Which will be just as good a build-up as going
       to the North Village.
       I am more grumpy about the game taking place in the evening just
       to accommodate TV viewers instead of taking place at 3:00pm.
       It means that you only get to the curry-house very late.

       Understand need for sponsors, I wondered if many other clubs
       have to give up space for Gallagher?
       That aside first game of the season, lots of benches moved from
       Quins head/south stand so not as much seating, then told it was
       moved to the north for another event

       Yes, they do. Normally one of their bars gets taken over. I
       think Quins build the North Village partly so they would have
       somewhere to host the tv after-event activity without impacting
       the bars around the ground.

       Seriously? Not quite sure what you're getting at.

       Is that the new "Ring the Club"?
