Quote: Walshovski "Bizarre post even by your normal standards and I'm not responding in full because I'm on my phone. In a nutshell I'm not saying people at FR will make the decision just that they'll be canvassed. Also, I couldn't give a monkey's toss when we play, nor have I suggested anything about what I prefer to do before and after games so I'm not sure where you've got that from. When this topic was discussed previously you went on about someone in your family who couldn't make games on a Friday due to work. In that case surely it's you who is being selfish, trying to frame the debate around what suits you?
There is no clear proof whatsoever that there are thousands of fans put off as they want us to play on Sundays. If there was I'd suggest playing on Sundays. In fact, games we've played on non-Fridays have been just as poorly attended. The idea that the game day is what stops people attending is simply not true. As another poster also mentioned the clash with football on Sundays will also damage crowds.
Our three highest average season attendances of the last 15 years have all been seasons in which we've played on Friday nights, odd that considering all these people desperate for Sunday rugby.'"
Yes and that family member changed shifts luckily for him, so me and all my family go to games, I'm talking other people in the same situations who don't get so lucky in work, how can you say me wanting games being played on a day everyone can go is being selfish?
I go in the Kersal club one game I could go because of holiday i offered everyone in the club my ticket but everyone in there either worked Friday nights or was put off by the rubbish public transport on a Friday night. All of them said they'd give it a go If they switched to sats or Sundays.
