| I feel Friday night rugby has not improved gates only reduced gates I feel we should go back to Sunday rugby we used to get decent crowds I feel lots of fans can't get to Friday games. Either through work on getting to game after work so is it time to give Sundays again be interested to see what everyone thinks I for one can get to every Sunday game which would be another season ticket sold. I feel club should at least consider it

| Sunday games would clash much to often with united/city games and attendance would suffer unfortunately.
I personally look forward to Friday nights, it's a good start to the weekend, plus the stadium at Barton will be a right eye catcher on a Friday night floodlights et al.

| This may become more of an issue when we're playing in Barton.

| I can see plus points for both. Personally I don't have a problem with Friday nights at the moment however it will become an issue when we move to Barton. Unless I drive I will have problems getting to the new ground as I work til 6pm and I can't imagine traffic will be that great around the area on a Friday night.
Sundays will be better for me but obviously not for everybody else. I'm sure the club will do the research and pick the most suitable ko time.

| I can remember alomost being locked out of the willows in the past when we have played on Sundays the crowds have been that big. Not sure why we ever changed.

| Look at the friday afternoon game all right it was a bank holiday it kicked off 3pm look at the increase in the gate.8pm kick offs friday is not easy for fans to get to moterways are always jammed. Sunday we always had a good following and would love to see if there was a diffrence in takings just on gates alone. Alot of people as wellvtravel on public transport and to be honest at 8pm onwards transport is poor to get to game. There is all sorts of reasons to prevent people going friday night. On sundays i was able to by season ticket now i am missing half games for work commitments. Correct me if i am wrong but i dont recall the club asking for a fans view on this i dont recall being asked could like i say be totally wrong on this one.

Without going over old ground, the unfortunate reason for Fridays is that they get more corporate revenue vs gate revenue. Correct me if I'm wrong on this btw as I seem to recall this cropping up previously. Sad really. I understand why the Club does it, but it is losing out on potential fans and new fans. Sunday afternoons, Sunday sessions, the warm weather (in theory) seems far more attractive as a fan than rushing around on a Friday evening with the Friday traffic etc.
