Having not seen the game day & time confirmed anywhere for 2011 (or if it has - it'll be interesting to see what opinion is) I thought we see when people would prefer the KO to be.

I think a radical switch to Saturday afternoon or evening may be worth a punt.

Personally I prefer Friday 8pm as I can come from work, have a few beers and it doesn't affect the weekend (other than the Saturday morning hangover!).

I understand why the club go for Sunday 3pm, and with the push for 10k I can't see it changing. If we do (WHEN WE DO) hit the 10k Sunday 3pm makes sense as you'll probably have people in the ground for a longer period of time spending more cash.

However, I wonder if they take more on the bar on a Friday night with people less worried about work in the morning?

sunday 3pm for me. cant guarantee getting home from work in time for a friday night and often asked to work saturdays. I get away with refusing to work sundays as its rarely required but if I started refusing sats it wouldnt go down well. purely selfish reasons I know but there you are icon_wink.gif

plus a lot of people do things on a sat like shopping and god forbid watch other sports like football. sunday doesnt clash with much tbh.

Would like it to stay as it is now, or move to 6pm sunday, like it used to be.

8pm Saturday would be a stupid time as people will be going out for the night/too late for kids. Sunday's are the best as you can watch the 2 sky games, have a night out and watch Bulls all in the same weekend.

I always liked the Sunday at 6pm slot. Meant that I could work the Sunday if required or do something with my Sunday afternoon. The Friday evenings are good in the middle of summer but not so great in Foggy Feb!

TBH i wish that the Challenge Cup Final is changed back to the end of April, because in my opinion it gets in the way of the back end of the season. Anyone else feel the same?

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.
