| Crazy that we have so many Saturday games beaten only by Catalan who prefer their Saturdays.
We are traditionally have a Friday night following so it will be interesting how many will turn up to watch on a Saturday.
Do many of our Saturdays coincide with Leeds United's Saturday fixtures?

Much prefer a Friday night. Atmosphere so much better. I'd also have thought that Friday nights are better for corporate hospitality? Maybe wrong though.

I'd be interested to know how much say the club have in it? Are they moving away from Friday nights as a strategy? We do seem to have played incrementally more over the last few seasons. Personally, I don't mind it too much because the crowd is bigger (more travelling fans) and the I think the atmosphere is better. Appreciate some folk have grown up with Friday nights and I can see why they would be upset. Both are better than Thursday nights, which I really don't like at all.

All about opinons I guess. Agree that Thursday night games are abysmal. Can't help but feel Sky have nowt of interest and RL is a convenient filler. The fixtures look to have been done with TV largely in mind, so do we know if these days are now fixed? No last minute mucking about for TV? That really would be annoying if not at all surprising.

| There's now only 1 fixture clash per week, which will potentially result in higher ratings. It's annoying, as I prefer Fridays too, but I remember most people weren't happy about moving home games from Sunday to Friday, so we'll see how it affects crowds.

| We might attract more students who tend to go out on the lash Friday night.
A few beers at HQ and on to the Otley Run might work out better for them.

| Re Friday nights-
-I believe the RFL asked the clubs for their preferred day for home fixtures and 8 ( I assume Leeds ) stated a preference for Friday nights .
However RFL/Sky have taken on board some of the criticism from last season and have spread the games out from Thursday to Sunday with only 2 Friday night games clashing .
In theory the top game of the week will be on Friday
I think they are hoping to minimise any moving or fixtures- though take that with a pinch of salt .

| As an attendee at Headingley last season I preferred the Saturday afternoon games. They feel like the real deal instead of a fixture shunted to an evening kick off because we’re a second rate sport. As Arthur Clues said above, it’s so much better for away fans and makes for a better atmosphere. Evening games can also be tricky for young kids, especially the away fans. I jacked on away games a couple of years back due to having to finish work early and the awful trawl across Leeds and down the M62. Saturday games also give you the chance to socialise before, after or both if you wish. Conversely, as I’ll be watching all the games on Sky next season, the evening games will be great for me. Out for a curry and a few beers at tea time and then back around the corner and put my feet up for the match.

What on earth are you talking about ? Try and string a coherent post together for us if you can.

Oh the irony. The man talking about nonsensical posts who cannot even string a grammatically correct sentence together. Come back when you’re making sense.
