Quote: moving on... "Id be interested to know the average age of the posters on this board. Sundays might suit folk who are retired or no longer want to go out before and after for a few scoops but Friday nights and Saturdays are the way forward for getting people and new support through the turnstiles.
if you were thinking about going to a wire game and getting into the game what for the first time, would attract you the most?
A) A Friday night under floodlights. Good atmosphere, start of the weekend and a bit of a social with your mates on the ale before and after with no worries about work in the morning.
B) A Saturday afternoon/Evening. Get into town earlyish. enjoy a drink and some food, a good buzz around the pubs. oppositions fans get to the game earlier and do the same. Good craic to be had by all.
C) A Sunday afternoon with 0 atmosphere, low crowds because non season ticket holders cant be d spending 2 hours stood watching Huddersfield or wakey who brought their traveling support on a minibus. Oh and work in the morning.
Friday all day for me. I don't mind Saturday evening but Saturday afternoons are daft with open age amateur games kicking off at 2pm.'"
This sound like something the off the Warrington casuals Facebook page..
I'm 41 and I favour Sunday's.. I'm not a washed up retired bloke who should be cast aside in favour of someone who prefers to finish work, get straight on the drink and spend the whole of the game (Friday night as some prefer) walking back and forth to the bar for the entire game.. Then leave the match and get on the jagerbombs and spend Saturday lay in my pit..
As it goes I do enjoy a few scoops before and after the game and yes I have got work on a Monday morning but I'm able to drink in moderation and first and foremost I go to watch the rugby not go on a pi$$ up..
One more thing this myth about the atmosphere being poor on a Sunday makes me laugh..in my time watching Wire I've been to plenty of night games with poor atmospheres and plenty Sunday's with brilliant atmospheres ... The fact is we never play the top teams on a Sunday now and that's why the atmosphere is muted.. Not because of the time of day ..
Tony Smith doesn't like Sunday's just like he doesn't like playing wingers on the wing..
