One to chuck out to everyone but I wonder if we will (or need to) consider going for 8pm kick off on Friday or 6.30pm Saturday in the 8 fixtures at home (if not on TV)?
Last season we played all bar one at 3pm on a Saturday (due to TV) which was all played in very high temperatures against established SL clubs which took a lot of juice out of the tank of our forwards(ironically the only bad weather we had in the 8's at home was v Sheffield and we won easily........).
I presume Leeds, Huddersfield and Salford all play at 8pm Fri anyhow, So is playing at 3pm an advantage (chance of good vocal following) or is 8pm or 6.30pm a sensible decision for playing RL in August?

Don't say that playing a game at 8:00 on a Friday is a good idea on here. The lynch mob will be here in a minute stating that they'll never step foot inside the LSV again if we play at that time. They would rather eat their flat cap and clogs than change their Sunday 3:00pm tradition. God help them if we get to SL and have to play Thursday, Friday and Saturdays!

All fixtures times are dictated by Sky..Last season was either you were on TV or on the APP.

What about the folk that work Friday nights. Yeah god help us

Same as the folk who work Sundays now..You book it off if possible..

Our home games are meant to be 3pm on Sundays.

You will never please everybody with kick off times and Match day dates, Leigh to their credit have tried Friday and Saturday nights as well as Sunday afternoons, and they plumped for Sunday afternoons because they were the most successful and best attended.Also they make a lot of income on the Corporate side, and again the Sunday afternoon is the time the Corporate Boxes and Premier Club are full.

Charlie heard a rumour your good friend Dr k is joining big d next season heard owt.

Yeah I work nights and a lot of weekends so no pleasing me then. A lot of people don't have the luxury to choose when they work

Very true Steve , you have the right outlook on life.

When do they start ? The week after the Dewsbury game, or 2 weeks after ? (Tried 'Google' for the answer, nothing doing !)

I think there will be a week off, so the rfl can sort out the fixtures and it gives the clubs time to make arrangements as well.

Thought as much....cheers.

Think we might get we week off for the Cup Final as well

Not sure there's much advantage to shifting game day with the Qualifiers TV day being Saturday. We might need to consider playing regularly on Saturdays if we go up & have to contend with the madness of Thursday night games. Really hope we don't decide to go for weeknight fixtures regularly, such a faff & rush trying to get back from work & get to the game. Yes some people work Sundays but many many more work Fridays. Friday night games are for clubs who value their sponsors more than their fans.
