WOW....one match.....lets all change back

re arrange this well known Phrase or saying 'Worms of a Can reopening'

How many travelled approx ?

More than expected

Unable to attend today, I would have been able to make it had it being Friday though

Attendance was 16,000 plus, we seemed to fill the whole West Stand.

friday,sunday-i'd still be taking my seat in the east stand.

I personally like Fridays as they suit my commitments..however I do believe we should have a mix of Fridays & Sundays tbh

Call me old fashioned but Friday nights are for drinking and Sunday afternoons are for rugby

Old fashioned

Very good point about the kids. My 7 year old who is rugby mad will be attending his first game of the season next week.

I have tried him a few times on a Friday night, but it is a waste of time and a chor. He is usually in bed for 8.00ish, so after a hard week at school, he has been falling asleep on me well before half time the odd time I have taken him, so we simply don't bother.

Sunday afternoon's will always get my vote and are simply more family friendly for people with young children who they would like to take to games.

Thoroughly enjoyed todays trip to Leeds, would never get to make a Friday match there due to work commitments. Yes the sunny weather helped, but also the fact were not all knackered after a long week at work and school. All in all a great day out, just spoilt by the result

I prefer Friday night games, saves the hassle requesting shifts off work,

To be fair mate, i've been the same the last 2 seasons.

don't really see how one game played in the best weather of the year is a massive argument one way or the other for sunday rugby.

our away followings are made up of a group who will watch the club anytime, anywhere...the size of the rest of the following is largely due to our form.

it was good to have a game at Headingley on a sunday afternoon for a change, but Leeds (as with all clubs) have to play when its most profitable.

Was surprised with our following today a lot more than i expected. West was packed out and a cracking atmosphere.

Was firmly in the "Friday night" camp. Today at Leeds in the sun reminded me how nice a Sunday day out can be, too. Still think every Sunday puts too much strain on family time, though.

So now in the "some of both" camp.

We should Start on a Friday and come home Sunday



I love the Sunday games but it can also be very intrusive in respects of other interests. Fridays at home I'm almost becoming accustomed to - - - Almost.

I'd prefer to see a mix of sunday and friday games personally. It's nice to have the odd sunday game (yesterday for example) but it kills the atmopshere imo. Yesterday despite the large number of hull fans that travelled to Leeds, I can't say I was overly impressed by the noise we made.

Sunday Games early season are fine but from June onwards when families could do so many other things on a Sunday, Fridays are best I think. Just my views though!

Same for me really, guess the CC gives us a chance of some, just be nice to have a few sundays mixed in esp as a lot of aways seem to end up on a friday too

Fridays work best for me. It would not be worth me buying a pass if we played on Sundays. I enjoy a few Sunday away matches (like yesterday) but could not go on Sunday every week.

I think a mixture of the 2 would be nice for those that work full time and Friday nights are a killer for. We're really looking forward to making the most of a child free weekend and heading into town both before and after the game on Saturday!!!



Personally I like Friday nights as it gets the game out of the way and opens up the rest of the weekend to go away and do other things but I also understand how many people just want to get in from work, kick off their shoes and chill on a Friday night. I leave at 12.30 on a Friday so it's not too bad for me.

That being said, it was great being stood outside the Original Oak at 11.50 waiting for it to open!!!

Can we have a survey?



For me a mix would be right too, but I can't understand why the club came out with the "letting families do other things at the weekend" argument. If I was a business (and there's probably a very good reason why I'm not) I'd want people to be spending money at my business, not at Hornsea or Withernsea or wherever. Put your money in my/SMC pocket for the good of my business.
