For me, late on sunday would be the best time for me to get to a game, 8pm sun is probably not great for attracting young familes/kids with school on the monday morning to get ready for, but 6pm sunday like it used to be scores on a number of fronts;

-unique, no other sports on anywhere at this time so we have media and supporter walk up to ourselves. (which might help with the pledge memberships in attracting floating supporters/supporters from other clubs.)
-the weekend is not taken up, even if you go away to the east coast say for the weekend its easy to make it back for 6pm sun.
-not too cold/foggy during sept/feb
-not too hot for the players during july/aug if we ever have a hot summer again.
-you get the big game feeling that an evening game can bring without the inconvience of being too late.
- i can spend the sunday with my family to "earn" my time off to see the bulls!

dont mid any of sunday slots personally. But think 3pm is probably best one if we want to attract families with young kids. no issues with them being up late night before school. plus with it being during day when its warmer ( weather permitting) theres more chance of them spending longer in ground rather than just the match itself, and hence spending more. this of course depends on us bulls putting in money to make matchday experience be more than just the game again.

Sundays @ 6 or Sunday @ 3 for me.

Fridays are a pain in the ar$e as I'll end up having to drive from the far side of Leeds and won't be able to have a drink.
Saturdays will clash with football and my busy social schedule.

But you can't actually argue that any more, though, can you, as the huge influx of kiddies which became such a mainstay of the SL Bulls and paved the way for other clubs was actually all done principally on the back of Sunday 6pm kick-offs, wasn't it?!

Anyway, whilst I much prefer the Sun. 6pm slot to anything else for a number of reasons not least the ability to still (a) go out or do whatever for the day AND (b) go out for the evening or settle in front of the TV for the evening.

But I especially note that the 6pm Sunday slot was (presumably) part of the late, great Peter Deakin's marketing strategy and if that was the top slot for him, then there is absolutely no argument from me.

All the previous research into this massively favoured Sunday afternoons.

If we're aiming at an audience made up largely of families it's the only way to go.

I'd have been interested to see what the % would have been if you'd only have been allowed a single vote. How many of the Sunday @ 3 votes are peoples second option?

For mine the club should go back to 6pm at Sunday.

That for mine is when we had some of our biggest crowds.

It was the most popular when the club polled fans in 2006.

I favoured Sundays @ 6pm - brings back the good memories of happier times a few years back

But I'm content with Sundays at 3.00 as a decent second option icon_smile.gif

The advantage of a 6pm kick off is that you get get the majority of the weekend to do other things, whether it's with the family, in the home or whatever. Then on Sunday evening you get to wrap it all up with a game of Rugby meaning you can go into work frustrated, disappointed and surrounded by Rhinos.

Pah. Is it possible to unpledge?!

I've gone for 3pm Sunday

Duckman - I went to Brid on Sunday and got back for the game after some lovely fish and chips, although the Goole Road back to the M62 was awful. So it is possible icon_smile.gif
