[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 77493"] I was reading [url]www.planetrugby.com[/url] and saw this article: [i]Club fans get more hot dog time Tuesday July 18 2006 Fifteen-minute break for Premiership Guinness Premiership matches are destined to last at least five minutes more next season, after the clubs and officials all agreed to extend the half-time break. The move is apparently designed to give the larger crowds more time for refreshment - at the same time allowing the clubs to cash in on their growing popularity and swelling attendances. Fifteen minutes is now the allotted time for the half-time break. It is a far cry from the matches of fifteen years ago when all the players were allowed was two minutes and a slice of orange![/i] Source: [url="http://www.planet-rugby.com/Tournaments/Guinness_Premiership/story_52497.shtml"]http://www.planet-rugby.com/Tournaments/Gu...ory_52497.shtml[/url] More hotdogs - yeah, right!? Surely this is so that they can show more adverts during the break and therefore more money. Fifteen minutes is way to long - the players will lose concentration and drift off. [/QUOTE]
