| Tbf, though, we will have a fair number of games NOT on Sunday afternoon, due to being told to play Fridays and Mondays for TV, holiday fixtures etc.
Sunday eve was good on a warm summer's day, there were some great nights, trouble is the weather has changed and most days it now turns out to be miserable and peeing it down. But IIRC the rationale for changing it was all to do with kids having to get up for school next day. Which to me was flawed logic, seeing as the game was over by 7:45 anyway, and that is hardly 'late'.
So I have voted Sunday 3pm, but if it is a sunny day, delay kickoff to 6pm!
I don't mind Friday nights at all, but the reason I will not vote for it is that nowadays I am sick as a pig if we are away on a Friday night, as it's then 50/50 if I can get away and go and if I do, it is hard work these days through M62 etc traffic, so it is out of sympathy to away fans trying to get in the opposite direction, more than anything else.

| maybe mixed times like with the pennine league? before the clocks go forward, 3pm on a sunday.
when the clocks go forward, so do the kick off times as we will have lighter evenings anyway and the weather is likely to be nicer?

| When I didn't have a young family I always far and away prefered Sunday at 6pm, it was a unique time, no one else kicked off then and it was great at the end of a summers day/weekend to finish at Odsal. Traffic is easy (motorway journeys to every home game) , it dosn't stop you doing other things throughout the weekend.
Now with a young family and kids going to school on Monday morning moving to Sun 6pm would mean I would get to hardly any games. So for me personally either Friday at 8 or Sunday at 3 are the easiest. Saturday at 6 would be utterly unworkable for me personally.

| It is fine as it is. Saturdays are part of the working week for so many retail workers etc. So for example if you move it to then, my family can't come to the game.
Shall we reinvent the wheel next? The round one is so annoying, I think a hexagon would work better.

| Friday nights for me. Makes a great end to the week and a fabulous start to the weekend and in the nicer months means you can get off to the coast for the sunday or even sat/sun with an overnight. appreciate the comments about away supporters but would it stop that many?

I honestly think the crowds would increase with a move back to the traditional late 90's, early 00's kick off time.
Just my opinion - But I hope Mr Caisley implements the change.'"
hope he doesnt. sunday 3pm is perfect. 6pm is too late for families wanting to take kids with school next day. friday night is ok for odd tv game but can be a pain for those working to get to if they dont finish til 6pm. saturday night tends to be night people go out socialising so not best option for regular games, ok for odd tv game.

| For me personally Friday evening - you get the whole weekend then - though often tough to get to in time, or Sunday at 6.00 as again you get the most of the day, but sure for the overwhelming number of fans especially those with children the Sunday afternoon is the prefered choice so I will put my personal preference aside and vote for Sunday 3pm to get most bums on seats - or feet on terrace.
One other point raised is what is the best time for sponsors? - and I suspect not Sundays - but its the balance then between the core fans and the money - which being a Bulls fan seems to be at the heart of everything at the moment.

you didn't say which would be most convenient for you.
I think Sunday afternoon is still the best option, friday night could rule out some that work shifts or work away during the week, sunday evenings would not be good for families and saturday nights is party night!
