absolute joke of a club ! as a young leyther i now have to choose between a night out or go watching Leigh but playing sunday i can do both. dont w*gan also play friday nights ? Well Done Leigh !

What's the problem with doing both on the same night - go out after the match??

I have to choose between a job lol!

Its a lot of rushing about to get home and get anywhere decent it's not impossible i know but it'd be sooo much easier on a Sunday

Wigan,Salford and Sale make more money playing Friday with corporate hospitality i.e prawn sandwich brigade only problem is all these clubs are within 30mins of Leigh.

From a pure selfish view, bring on the night games. I always have enjoyed evening fixtures under floodlights. I don't mind to see the club experiment with the kick off times if I'm truthful and modern working means that a number of people can't attend on Sundays.

From a practical point of view regarding players, in a number of instances we get some extra recovery time compared with other teams which will undoubtedly help the team.

The club could now market itself as a weekend starter.

Of course the proof in whether it's successful or not will be by comparing attendances.

I HAVE READ THE ABOVE, AND THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS KEITH FREER OUR CHAIRMAN CLEARLY STATED OUR GAMES WOULD BE ON A SUNDAY, I WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS CHANGED, AND BEFORE SOMEBODY SAYS ASK THE CLUB, I WILL BE DOING.

ps sorry for shouting, stupid caps lock

A very strange decision by the club.

Personally I'm very surprised they didn't go with a 6.30pm kick off on a Saturday night if going back on the 'our games will be 3pm Sunday' line.
Might not of been ideal but at least we wouldn't be going head to head with the big televised RL match , gives people a chance to get home from work , allows away support to get here and it would give youngsters a chance of attending without being out too late.
Not sure why the club have gone for Fridays (wasn't that the least popular option of Fri / Sat Sun KO ? ?) , from a personal point of view it means my familys attendance will be hugely affected as its a virtual non starter to get home from work then out to Leigh for 7.30pm (then factoring the late arrival back - pretty much the same for a away fan in fairness).

What I would say is that people will have a preference of KO days and are creatures of habit, if you go for Friday nights then do it week in weeek out - DON'T go for some Fri , some Sunday - our awful season in SL taught us that you must choose a matchday and stick to it.

I think though from reading the comments on this thread that what this underlines more than anything is that communication between the club and its support is still lacking and needs a lot of improvement - especially if you want the majority to buy into your new ideas.

Not happy with this one little bit, I cant make friday night games as I cant get a baby sitter, so thats me not watching very much rugby next season & no ST. How many other people cant make friday nite games, IMO, I think attendances will go down.

Well if the hike in season tickets was not daft enough they have now suspassed themselves with this friday farce.

Top dollar to get in verus very poor opposition or watch a super dooper game on tv.......hmmmmm

Well thought out leigh
