Saturday night games appear poorly supported and are rather dull. It's as if everyone is just waiting to get the game over with and get on the lash (players included). There really is nothing to lose by switching that TV fixture to Monday, and it may have the bonus of new people taking an interest in the game in the absence of Monday Night Football over the summer.

| In the words of Bob Geldof, I don't like Mondays. Give me Saturday evening any day.

| I prefer Sunday evening kick offs for the 2nd TV game.
Be interesting to see what the crowd and atmosphere is like tonight.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| Saturday nights just don't seem to work somehow - OTOH I'm really looking forward to tonight
I'm struggling to see any negatives for RL really - other than a vocal minority of fans who will always complain unless it is Sunday, 3pm (or 3.30pm) - but I imagine their forefathers were equally outraged when we moved from Saturdays.

| I work every saturday night so its a bonus for me, but obviously not for the masses. Anyone who has kids or has to travel a long way will be put off especially with it being on TV.

| Absolute disaster for me. I work Mondays and have done for the past 20 years. I now lose half the games I pay sky for and also lose out on a game I have a ticket for (Warrington on August bank holiday Monday).
Be interesting to see what the away attendance is. Every Saints fan I know who normally goes is not going, either because of kids at school tomorrow, working tonight or don't want to be out that late when they are up early for work tomorrow. Think attendances might improve when school holidays start but not expecting a strong Saints following as normal tonight.

| I think the attendances for these monday night games will be pretty poor taking into account people having work/kids going to school the next day but no doubt at some point there'll be a big announcement by the RFL that it's been a huge success because x amount of people have been watching on sky.
