| I apologise if it is mentioned elsewhere, but I thought I'd open an old debate about what is happening next season with regards to this.
I've just noticed Hull are abandoning Friday nights after significant drops in attendances and consulting the fans. Link here -
rlNo more Friday nightsrl
Personally I think it would be financial suicide to have Friday nights at the new stadium. The Club has an opportunity to try and bring in new Families and supporters which could only realistically happen on Sundays. So was just wondering what Salford intends to do when we move?
Any other thoughts?

| Big fan of the friday night rugby myself, but i dont think it will work at Barton with the extra travel time, people would have to rush from work to home then to the stadium. Think there will be a few that just think, "cannot be bothered tonight" so we would lose out.
Not quite sure what would happen in the rare occasions they remember Salford are a SL team though

| [iI like Friday night rugby but I think when we move over to Barton Sunday afternoon's would be better.
Traffic alone on a Friday evening could be a big problem, but of course it will be down to the club to have the final say and I'm sure they will make the right decsion in the end. All I hope is when they do decide they stick to it!

| Saturday tea time for me! Barton bridge will be at it's busiest on a Saturday with shoppers finishing and maybe people finishing up at OT if united kick off at three, which is rare, so with the floodlights on it might tempt some people to have a closer look! But generally the football is finished, Saturday night tv is pump and it's still early enough for families and I don't have to be up at 6 for work the next morning!

| Big fan of sunday afternoons myself, dont have to rush home from work. Its a full family day out,Rugby League is better to watch in the sun than floodlights from a spectators point of view,The only negative i can forsee is a clash of fixture with mufc.Traffic would be caotic.

| It has to be sunday rugby by a mile it will mean I see every game and buy a season ticket. Friday night rugby I feel puts a lot of people off no transport is one as after certain times also people working. We have had fridays for a few years now and to be honest I would say gates have dropped. I tthink it also will depend on sponsership and other factors. At least on a sunday afternoon you have a lot more people coming down from other clubs. We always had a good crowd sunday. Look at the warrington game at home we had a bumper gate. So I feel for club to survive they need to move. Again though will depend on money coming in.

| I much prefer Friday night games but if moving to Sunday afternoons resulted in increased attendances and revenue for the club then I wouldn't complain

| Think it would depend on the public transport situation, not entirely sure that the buses will run often enough if you say want to have a pint in the Harvester if it opens, last thing you need is to get stranded there and have to walk back towards Eccles.

| As a young lad with no family i prefer Friday nights, you can go have a beer and not worry about work the next day i also think for some reason Friday nights at the willows is usualy a better atmoshpere.
Sunday would be the better option for work/traffic reasons,as the traffic on a Friday will be awful. If we want to increase attendances then Sunday has to be the choice.
Still whatever makes the most money with the corporate side will be the choice.

| Must be Sunday for me. To increase the crowd, we need to attract families to the new facilities. Location is also in favour of Sunday, no longer the pub/bus infrastructure. A pint and the sunshine in the new Willows - bring it on!
