Did we have any choice on ko time? Don’t think so.

No we played in Bradford then didn't take as long to get home for most people

Well I didn't have children those 'few years' by few I take it you mean 15 plus years ago!! Call it a convenient excuse if you wish, but I'm just stating my opinion that I think that KO time for anyone with young children is a non starter. I took my boy to the London game but I wouldn't entertain trying to keep him up for the later kick off. Obviously they can't please everyone though and I see what they're attempting to do regarding the tv exposure, time will tell if it is worth it.

One other thing to consider is that players in this league are mostly part time so will likely have work the next day, which might be a consideration for any sides that might need to travel such as London? Hopefully these things are being considered when schedule decisions are made.

I revert to the 17th chapter of the book of Job in these matters: Blessed is he who doth not expect, for he shall not be disappointed.

Alternatively, we didn't have families then and went on the lash afterwards and weren't bothered about work.

Now we have kids and are trying to hook them in to keep the club alive it's a pain arguing with your 9 yr old having to explain why she can't come but her older sisters can. Convenient as phuq that!

How rediculous.
Having kids is not just a recent phenomenon
People still had young children 15 years ago when we played on Sunday nights!


But it was Bullmania then sucessful team and lots going so it want an issue. Now its down at Dewsbury in the Championship its too late to play .

Give over, Odsal was never swamped with families on filthy Sunday nights.

I don't remember late Sunday slots. We had the Friday 8pm & Sat 6pm slots (both sky), then the usual 3pm Sunday. Our televised slots seemed to be more Friday than Saturday which was a shame as a curry after a Saturday evening game went down well.

Sorry about that. I now realise the error of my ways and fully understand that the club should be considering how the change of kick off time effects you directly, even when they have no actual say over it whatsoever!!!

As someone who regularly travelled from Scotland for over 5yrs to watch games I should really have asked the club to have considered me in their plans and asked for a 12noon kick off... silly me

Yes that is true as we never attracted any children whatsoever in those days so it became irrelevent.

Well the attendance was down 900 on the Featherstone game so take away 200 fans easily cost the club 10k+ what's more important to a club that is skint at this moment in time?

You're really not getting the point are you? The club had no choice but to play the game at 6.15pm.

My point about 6pm kick offs in the past was that 15k people didn't have an issue with it then so why would it be an issue now.

God help us if we do ever get back to SL as there will be at least 3-4 games on a Thursday evening that kick off at 8pm. Folk will literally implode!!!
