Wrong again. I was put forward and voted for by the Hull FC Disabled Group to be on Voices, I didn't know a single person in Voices before I went to my first meeting. HTH.

So my 2 Grandads and a couple of Oldish Aunties are season ticket holders but dont do Modern Techno - now how you gonna get them involved ??

| Quote ="Standee"everyone's circumstances are different, and I appreciate that, my scenario is:
Live in Nottinghamshire, work in the West Midlands (or further South dependant on contracts), indirectly manage a team of 20 people, so taking a very early dart every other Friday is out. I can finish at 4pm, if the M42/M1/M18 are kind I can be in Hull by 7pm, straight to the game, straight home afterwards, getting in at after 11pm (again, if the roads are kind), £50 in diesel (if not more) £25 for the game (so £50 if my other half comes), £100 for 2 hours "entertainment".
Sunday we can come up, go and see my family and friends, have breakfast, meet rugby friends for a drink, leisurely walk to the game, talk to people in the ground, at full time have a few more drinks, go to my old local and see old friends, leisurely drive home, back by 8pm, still got a few hours to relax before bed. Still costs me £100 to go to the game, but my £100 buys me a whole lot more.'"
£50 in diesel? Didn't realise you were a HGV driver

Nope, I stick by what I said. We were not "consulted" in the sense that Voices influenced the decision. We were asked what we thought the fans wanted. We were asked for help giving out the survey at the 9's. Our answer was half and half so Voices will not sway one way or another.
You can pick this to pieces as much as you like. We go with what the fans want, and its a 50/50 split.

| Sundays are much better if you live or work out of town. Friday nights are a nightmare for away fans too. Really dissapointed with the lack of consultation on this switch!

| i read they did the survey at the recent 9s tournament at the YPI, two of us attended that evening, staying until the end and nobody approached us, maybe they chose a 'select number'! maybe if the club posted out forms mid season for us to give our opinion we would get a clearer view, unfortunatly whichever day/night the club chooses they will upset some fans, myself i prefer sundays to friday evenings

I can't believe people are still arguing that sundays are better, either from a lifestyle view or a business view, it's OBVIOUS most supporters prefer a Friday night! Give it a rest for fooks sake!!! The best supported home teams in sl play Friday nights, away support is e from most teams anyway, so who cares about them, it's a win win for me Friday nights, gives me sat sun been a slave to the family yippppppeeeeee

Then we moved to Fridays, the atmosphere improved and most preferred it as they had a Sunday free.

| Friday nights for me as we usually receive 2 live TV league games a week here which are never Sunday matches so would never see Hull live at home. This week we have Wigan v Hull starting at 0500 hrs Saturday morning and on Tues morning the Warrington/Saints match.

Follow your own advice, it is far from obvious what most supporters prefer, maybe the majority of people posting on RLFans prefer Friday (although even that seems more of an even split), the best supported teams in SL are SUCCESSFUL, it has little to do with what night they play.

And there was I thinking this was an open forum to discuss which day we'd rather have home games on

To be fair, Leeds have been on Friday nights virtually since SL's inception, they only won their first championship in 04. Wigan only had the 02 CC to show between their 98 and 2010 titles.
The move tp Fridays lifted their gates is lean trophy years.
Of course the exception to this would be Bradford. Played Sundays, won loads in the first 7 years of SL. But hardly the model to follow.

just to point out, the person you are replying to is 17, so obviously there opinion on game days is going to be different from someone who is 35 with two young kids who lives in Hull, who will also have a different opinion to someone who is 65 and lives in Edinburgh and commutes by train, which again differs from someone who is 40 ish and commutes from Worcester, which is why a mix is the best option for everyone.
