Quote: Big Ask "Never been a fan of Saturday Night games, I think Mondays will work better. Plus is sort of extends the weekend which is always a bonus'"

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.

I think we will all be surprised when we look at the average gates for Monday and the sky viewing they have had it for some time in aus I think its a good a046.gif a046.gif

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. 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 icon_biggrin.gif

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.

The Wire and Tranmere Rovers you can't go wrong [quote="Rogues Gallery":3kmnmmz2] A very good friend of mine always uses this line. "If Saints were playing for my life, I'd still want them to lose"[/quote:3kmnmmz2]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_63027.jpg



It gives fans some quality sport to watch on a monday and saturday evening games are dull many people watch the football in th pub and on TV so it should draw in viewers

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.

Who pay the real money so they're not bothered.
Before you then harp on about the fans losing out it's been that way for years as every friday night game is all about the corporate dollar and not the fans and if anyone tells you any different they're lying to you.
Look at the success of monday night football in the US or even NRL, if it's a success maybe Sky will have to throw on a few £££ to the next TV deal, I think it will be a roaring success, genuinely.
