| I'm guessing that playing home games on a friday night in July is intended to test the water as to when the most profitable time is to play our home games.
Friday's crowd of 2100 was broadly the same as it would have been on a sunday although the travelling support was noticably lower then the NRC game (granted Leigh's tailspin towards CC1 may have something to do with this!)
So with the aim being to improve crowds overall when should we play our home games?
Or does it make no odds either way?

I disagree with this. Had it been a Sunday, i reckon we'd have got 2,800 ish.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Preferably 30 minutes after we kick off would be best , we might stand a chance of getting a bonus point then

| The main thing is they should be consistent and not keep altering the time/date. It has been done before the first couple of seasons we went down the Shay and I know we lost a lot of fans because the wives would know hubby was at the match 3-00 Sun and would work round that. Then they started to mess around with the days and when we had a pub I witnessed many an argument as the blokes would never say till it was the last minute that it was Fri /Sat night . Resulting in the Mrs telling them they could not go as something else was sorted.The thing is we have been building up the crowd steadily on a Sunday afternoon geting it so it became a habit for the kids too. So why alter it why switch to an evening when for instance the kids that have started to come back can`t come and the away support is down too.

| The reason for playing so many home games is so we cant be told by the RFL that we have to play a home playoff game on a sunday when we want to play it on a Friday like what happened against Whitehaven last season.

That's pretty much why i think they've done it to. Aren't we getting into the time of year where Sky will have to start picking the Thurs nights games as they only schedule the first 12 or something? I think this is so even if a home/away fixture is suddenly changed to a Thursday night, we'll still be getting a full weeks recovery, which at this stage of the season may be important.
Can't see us getting much in way of home attendances anyway really from here on out. We've only got Fev, Toulose and Whitehaven at home. So 250/100/20 max from those teams probably.

| well i personally like any time for the games i like sunday games its nice to play and for the most part this season it has been sunny and warm when we have been at home on a sunday.
i dont really mind when we play them i like friday games as well i like night games i dont know why.
i suppose i like night games at the start of the weekend mainly cause i dont have a job and i know i have a full weekend to look forward to after the game instead of 1 evening b4 University on the monday.
i do like sunday and friday games. i couldnt really care less when we play them as long as we win

| Having a young family fri nt suits us better as it leaves the weekend free to do other things, however we are all hooked so even if it was Wed at 3am we would make it.

Unfortunatley with new rules that i think were brought in this season a team can decide not to play on a Friday night if they so wish. Think it was Haven who used this rule to make Sheffield change their fixture against them even though all Sheffield home games take place on a Friday.
Funny though i bet this dosnt work when it comes to Thursday nights and Sky.

| Its a difficult one for the club,however the main thing is consistancy. Like people have already said chopping and changing of fixtures cause confusing and people get out of reguler habits.
For the players I would have thought evening kick off will be much more comfortable to play in, aswell as the sky games are thurs so we get adequote rest time if we are screened. I personally prefer fridays, because it keeps my weekends free, but I will go whatever the time we play.
I do think all teams should play at the same times unless they happen to be the sky game, it is quite difficult to keep track of when others are playing to check results.

| got to be sundays for me especially this time of year when the weather is good. Increased away support as well is a big reason. I originally thought that we switched them because of potential sky games but ive had a look and they have game picked up to the end of the year. The only game we might be on is Sheff away.

| If we were to finish in the top two, I suspect our play-off game would definitely be Thursday on Sky.
