Gloucester will be unable to stage a European Champions Cup play-off at 'their house' following an unfortunate clash of dates with a Madness concert at Kingsholm.
The Cherry and Whites are currently battling to dine at the top table of European rugby and while an automatic qualifying spot now seems out of reach they can still make the play-offs.
But if they reach that stage they will be unable to play the match at Castle Grim with Worcester Warriors' Sixways and Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium emerging as front runners to stage the potential showdown.
...."We were desperately looking to get some good bands into Kingsholm this year. Madness became available to us and it is selling incredibly well off the back of Elton John almost being sold out and the only date that could do was May 30.

It's an embarrassment.
