Well what do you reckon? So many Yarkshire teams in SL - their fans WILL travel on Sundays but not many want to get involved with the M62 on a Friday Night. I am one of the many that hope the club will at least consider a switch.

yep

Fridays for Clubs this side of the border, Sunday for the other side, Saturday for the other clubs in the badlands of France, Wales and London

How very dare you make a logical argument with regards to the direction of the club... I suggest you go and read, "How not to Run a Rugby League Club for Dummy's."

I think the reason behind us switching in the first place is to do with the sponsors somebody closer to the club will know but im sure, we get more money off the sponsors if we play friday

Yup, think that's correct


Personally I'd like to see us play all our games on a Saturday evening.

However, I quite like this as an alternative;




I definitely DON'T want a return to Sunday afternoons.

The reason why we moved them to Fridays is because if united or city play at home, our attendance is lower so that is why I think we play on Friday nights.

You usually talk sense [iFL[/i, but I have to say that is without doubt
The daftest idea ever








Certain to improve home attendances..........NOT

Sunday afternoons for me.... That's the day it's traditionally on... should stay that way. Sunday afternoons are boring at best. Fridays are just a pain to finish work... get home and straight back out again. Hate Fridays. I'd even go as far to say that if not Sunday afternoons... Fatboys Limb idea of Saturday would be better than a Friday.

Fair enough!



Wasn't really an idea or suggestion though, merely saying what would suit me best.

thought as much you selfish sod

When we changed to Fridays I was against it, but now I've got used to having 2 days on most weekend to do stuff and visit places so I wouldn't personally be a fan of moving back (plus, I've saved a fortune from not spending every Sunday buying beer). That said, I do think crowds would increase - I think our biggest crowd in the last 10 years (maybe) was the Sunday home game v Leeds in 2007 - although it was an opening fixture and they always attract bigger crowds.

I'm sure some statto (KOTS) will be able to give some average crowd stats for the various steasons and game days. I'm pretty sure all our worst fixtures have been Saturday evenings.

While Sunday makes it easier for travelling fans, particularly from over the hills, to attend, I think it's poor form for any sustainable Superleague club to have to rely on visiting fans rather than attracting their own.

Sundays from Feb-May, then Friday nights for June/July/August when the weather is a bit warmer.

Although that does mean we would play Sundays in the months most likely to clash with United/City. But then again, we don't really know how much that does actually affect us.

Sunday arvo will save on the leccy bill for floodlights.
Also gives a chance for more family orientated stuff in the variety centre pre & post match.

Personally speaking I like the Friday night matches (if only for the fact that half ten bed time for a four year old and one year old means I get a lie in on Saturday morning. However I do think it hits crowds as away fans simply cannot get here. M62 is a mare on any evening let alone a Friday. But like has already been said Saturday and Sunday clash with football and cricket. I think it is a catch 22. I'm not sure how much difference it would make. Certainly would be worth ponderring.

Didnt the club say a couple of years ago that they had more corporate intrest on a Friday than a sunday? me personally would like a return to a sunday afternoon.

No, the reason we moved to Friday nights was corporate hospitality. The club get more from it on Friday nights than they do on Sundays. As said above, the club themselves stated this a couple of years ago. Hence, I doubt we'll see a return to Sundays any time soon.
