I was speaking to someone at the club a few weeks back and they told me that they were planning that Fridays were going to remain the primary time for the majority of games - a kind of 'weekend starts here, pop to the Trafford Centre before or after for food and drink' type approach for new fans.

Hopefully the travel survey may have swayed that a bit though as I can't really see it working. I'd much prefer Sundays myself - my kids love going but Friday nights makes it just too late a night for them.

I was just making an observation based on your post. I agree with you about the last game.

This is the trouble with reading too much, or little, into stats in general.

Fair does. Agree completely on that last sentence - I did statistics in college, it's amazing how different methods can be used to give the same set of figures many different meanings.

I see your points and was merely pointing out that there were weaknesses in the suggestion that we'd increased our attendances.

However, I would tentatively argue that getting spanked most weeks is not a factor to consider as this, correct me if I'm wrong, occurred less this season than in any other season, besides 1997 and 2006, in Super league.
Nevertheless, [ithe rise in unemployment, inflation, pay freezes and reduced hours[/i are arguably factors I overlooked.

The point regarding a potential drop in sales across the board is an interesting one. Whilst it is possible that there was a drop, I suspect we might be surprised to see no change on the previous year. Best wait and see I guess.

86% of all statistics are made up and the other 17% are just plain outright lies
