It's an open meeting for anyone to attend as far as I am aware.

| The Friday/Sunday argument will boil down to how much income can be generated versus numbers through the turnstiles. If Fridays bring in more coin due to corporate stuff than gates then we'll keep Fridays. If the Dr chooses to target families next season then we'll go to Sundays.
We all have our own thoughts on it but it will make no difference to what the Dr thinks we require.

Would be interesting to know what percentage of our fans work in manufacturing. Might ask tomorrow if they will put a vote on the facebook page.

That's got nothing to do with anything?

| I believe the reason we switched to Fridays was purely a commercial one. Corporate boxes don't sell as well on a Sunday, at least they didn't at The Willows, as well as they do on a Friday night.

| Just to add here, Sunday isn't necessarily more 'family friendly' than Friday nights. It all boils down their habits and choices.
Last time this debate arose a couple of users wrote that they preferred taking the kids on Friday nights, either because their kids played rugby on a Sunday and getting them fed and clothed in time for Salford's match was a nightmare, or that Sunday was an allotted day for the family and they didn't want to spend it at rugby.
This may not be the norm, but it just goes to show that there is no right or wrong day or time for any particularly group here — it's entirely down to personal preference and circumstance.
For what it's worth I prefer Sunday, and I always have done. However, this may be academic on various fronts. Salford will be on Sky more next term and could have a number of home matches moved to any day between Thursday and Sunday. The club may have already decided to spread next year's fixtures evenly to properly test the water. And, of course, if Salford are really worth watching, the barriers to attendance will begin to evaporate — people will make sure they are there.

I don't know anyone who doesn't use it? Even Dr Koukash does. And I'm quite sure there isn't another 9000 people knocking about who go to games that arnt on facebook?
What's fairer a vote of opinion from 9000 people or the opinions of 20 people sat in Eccles club house?
I'm not being funny but if we really want the fabbasecto grow we need EVERYONE'S view on things.'"
You know one person now, me, and I know quite a few fans who don't use it
As for Friday or Saturdays, I am for more home fans attending, but think more away fans, especially from Yorkshire would prefer to travel on the motorway on Sundays than Friday nights. Would swell our income

| If the Club makes a decision based on Forever Reds,Facebook or the Turkey then it's still being run amateurishly.
A professional operation with well paid executives should have access to far more expertise on this matter.
It really isn't about night shift workers,those who finish work at Sunday lunchtime or whether you're on Facebook !
I don't know how much corporate hospitality depends on it being a Friday except,having done a bit of this in the past,guests don't like Friday nights ,in my experience,any more than Sundays. Prefer mid week and that can't happen.
In any event,the corporates will bring revenue but ,if the game night is decided by that,it won't necessarily be the night that will increase the attendance figures.
Which does he want?
I'd prefer Sunday !

| I think the issue is much wider than Friday or Sunday, we have tried both, and those that attend have their personal preferences. The thing is we should be finding out why people do not attend, and what would entice past fans to re-attend, and new fans to start attending. Time of games would be one issue, but only one of many. It needs a proper market research exercise carrying out. Those that could be enticed to attend need targeting, and those that never will attend can be left alone. Use the energy and resources needed where it will have most impact.

| I think we might be missing the point about what day/night we play on. With a successful side we will no doubt attract some passed fans back whether we play Friday or Sunday, however it is the new fan and a younger audience we need to attract.
Any market research should be aimed at this audience. I suspect with location Sunday would be a better option.
As a Season ticket holder this next season will be the third season I have bought my grandson a season ticket, he is six to date he has been to more away games played on Sunday than home games. I suspect based on the audience we need to attract will be the same especially during the winter time.
Sunday for me!
