It's a farce and the SRU have totally shot themselves in the foot, crowd size will end up around half of what it could be. Ridiculous.
Should be woman's final at 12, men's at 2:30 and then Glasgow Edinburgh at 5. Gone too far and ruined a good idea.

Oh come on, don’t be such a softcock.
Game will be finished in plenty time for public transport if required or otherwise it’s an hour's drive.

Game fineshes around 9:30. Leaving Murrayfield and on the road for 10 so you're getting home late. Public transport you get to Queen Street or a bus station for 11 and then you have to get public transport home which could be tough. Will parents want to take kids with that late kickoff? Less likely.
It's not going to attract anyone without a strong interest. And that's just Glasgow - what about folks from Stirling, Dundee, Aberdeen, the borders etc?
V poor planning for what should be the show piece event of Scottish club rugby.

They stopped them years ago and now Aberdeen fans complain bitterly about 12 o'clock weekend kick offs and have fill their end at best. The SFA WayneBarnes up with 12 o'clock Aberdeen kick offs too.
People won't want to travel to Edinburgh for a game finishing after 9. It's not about Glasgow having it their own way it's about the SRU ruining a good idea.
