Quote: Fatboys Limb "Is that the case for most young 'uns these days?

When I was "a young lad with no family" I preferred Sunday afternoon home matches.

Friday nights were for going out, often straight from work, and RL got in the way of that.

Sunday afternoons were boring and made for family-stuff, so RL filled that void perfectly for me.

My only concern with Sunday afternoons these days would be the popularity of the 4pm Premiership KO, especially with the regularity that it involves ManU.'"


Not really Friday at the Rugby with the lads is what i enjoy, just knowing i dont have work the next day is a massive plus for me. It also in a funny way saves me money just in the sense that if we did play on Sundays i would then have to go out three days of the weekend instead of just the two like now icon_wink.gif

We all have to realise that a lot of fans support Salford and United (and a small number City icon_wink.gif )
Given the choice (and I know this is a shock to a lot of you) most will choose to either go to the football (soccer) or sit and home and watch it.
This is the reality of the area we are in.
Put the games to Sunday and you will be competing against United, City and also dont forget LCCC

"It has become clear there is an overwhelming desire to have Sunday rugby back at the KC Stadium," new Hull FC owner Adam Pearson said after reviewing a fan survey."

Salford recently undertook a travel survey for the new Stadium but didn't ask the preferred kick off time ( Friday Eve, Saturday Eve, Sunday Afternoon ) .
obviously the Hull Fans survey was compelling enough for their new owner.

Friday's or Sundays were fine for me at the Willows as I had a Car park pass or could park within 5 minutes walk otherwise.

As Barton is a remote site, Sunday has to be the only serious option
long term football or not

This decision is a potential major headache for the club, both days have their fors and againsts.

Fridays no clash with the football being a major factor and the increased potential of the corporate sales, but on the down side attracting less spectators both home and away due to kick off time for logistc / traffic reasons.

Sundays better for fans to get to the ground, attract potential new fans and more away fans as they could have a day at the TC before the game, but as someone already mentioned this also has potential to clash with Manu so could end up being worse than a Friday for attracting home fans / traffic congestion.

All in all potential minefield for the club wouldn't like to be the person to make the decision.
But do you go fyou initially trying to increase revenue or trying to boost the club profile increasing crowds which is what could be the key to our franchise bid next time round.

Sundays for me. (I own a fish and chip shop!)
Could we not change kick off times to avoid clashes with the football?

Simple, don't set this in stone. If it's a local away team Fridays are good. If not put it on Sunday providing ManU are not at home. Simples

Think it's a pretty moot point as the club have said it is much more financially viable on a Friday for sponsers after they finish work to attend.

I personally prefer Friday or Saturday nights, tend to stay out too long after Sunday games and feel shattered in work for the rest of the week trying to play catch up.

Do though think that both the Hull games, London and Les Cats shouldn't be Friday as it makes travlling to Salford much harder, OK I appreciate that London and Les Cats don't have much of a traveling fan base but surely a Friday game for any of these cuts down on the travelling fans.

When i was young and had no responsabilities sunday rugby was ace, Eccles weatherspoons then in the tav @ 12, con club, in the willows, watch the match back the tav, back in the con club and finish off in the hope / height bit of a salford sing song then stagger home @ 11:00 amazingly some players (mr Treacy n Mr Nicol) use to beat us into the hope on a regular basis.
I hung around with some good lads then of simular age who like me were young and hand no responsabilities (apart from KOBW making sure he gave himself enough time to get his last train home and Karlos making sure he woke up in time to deliver his post icon_wink.gif)

Now i prefer fridays, work, get to the ground, couple of cheeky drinks in the club, watch the game, cheeky drink in the club, most of us have jobs/kids/morgages now so there is no OTT behaviour much anymore that and after fridays i have saturday and sunday to do other stuff

I can see both sides of the coin i can imagine traffic chaos if its not done right traffic wise @ barton but i surpose the club will make more money on friday in other ways than ticket sales corporate boxes ect

I also think the players prefer friday games, they train monday to wednesday, day off thursday, game day friday i think giving the players too much "thinking time" between finishing training friday and playing sunday didnt help our performances around that time

Sadly the polic, local authority & RFL need to know well in advance so I'm not sure we can do this.

Quote: The optimist "These days its a tomarto juice....got to get my 5 a day
From this day forth, I shall know you and occasionally refer to you as a cheeky tomato...

Apologies for my deviance from the debate to something bordering trivially inane, but the said debate is completely arbitrary. The club will do what the club wants. Our perspective is irrelevant.

Well they would now Uniteds fixure list / Fa cup / European Championships / World Cup between February and say June, it just needs somebody to sit down with a sporting calendar and figure out how we can juggle the fixture around these events

The down side would be that it may effect the boys preperation time/ recovery as its advantage to play on a friday one week then and sunday the next, you get two more days to prepare as the other team may only have 6 days if they play Sunday -sunday
