Yes it is, really !
Getting accross the M62 any evening is difficult and it doesn't take an awful lot to mean that attending fixtures "on the other side" after a days work is not always possible.
Many people finish a touch earlier on Fridays, but there isnt the same finish time on Mondays.
As I said in an earlier post, if its a local fixture, then there is no problem/ excuse but, try getting from Wigan/ Saints over to one of the Hull clubs and you have to finish work early or not go.
Its not rocket science, just rush hour traffic.
