| Sunday suits me best but like most on here I've watched Leigh all my life and each season see the same faces and most of us are a lot older than say the average football or even Wigan and Warrington fan.
What the club needs is to get some new blood through the gates and Friday nights might do this.A lot of 20 somethings watch Sport on Sky all weekend and stay at home or in the pub,perhaps starting off the weekend with a live game then watching the telly on Saturday and Sunday may suit a lot of people.
It may fail but give it a chance and if its not for you fine but don't assume it won't work because you don't like it as they say "one mans drink is another mans poison".

| The issue is that at a fans forum it was stated that Sunday would be the match day after being asked the specific question.

| Most fans know the financial situation so decisions like that IMO are selfish and give the impression that they don't really care. To make a decisions not to get a ST is fair enough, to withdraw LISA and lottery is petty.
However, why are were 'experimenting'. If it fails we die

| Whilst I dont agree with the change, if everyone cancels their LISA, Lifeline etc we will be back to the situiation we was in a couple of months back and have no club to support, so lets all calm down a bit, ok it sucks ass but its just 4 games as one is Good Friday and everyone plays Good Friday

I totally agree we need new young blood, and I truly hope this all works out, but I could counter argue we may lose some of the very young, the bloke who normally takes his son/daughter (and possibly even his wife) on a nice Sunday afternoon, may want to go straight to the pub after the Friday game with his mates, and the little one doesn’t get a trip to LSV.

Or that being at an evening game means the kids are too tired towards the end of the game to enjoy it which is a scenario I will probably face when my 4 year old comes to the evening games.

| Well Peawapp I think the bloke is spitting his dummy out quite frankly.
When you have watched a club as long has he and I have for some reason you develop a loyalty.
Ok he would prefer Sundays. So would I but if I could not go Fridays I would still be a LISA and Lottery member and might be daft enough to buy a season ticket and give it to one of my grandkids.
Maybe he will reconsider I certainly hope so.

For the child/ family bracket a lot of people will find it too late (a good example is how many families do you see out on a Fri night at 9pm).
Indeed Barton recognises this by saying corporates want to be with their families at weekends (I'd actually add most corporates like being away from work by Dinner time Friday if my experience at Airport Terminals / Train Stations on a Friday are anything to go by ! ), basically its a deal done because Trevor hopes we can attract some corporate support - lets hope he is right as it is a bold step / madness depending which camp you are in.
Hopefully it will attract the 30 to 65 year olds or even the 10 - 15 year olds (although our pay on day for the latter might scupper that) and we start to see a gate increase.

| Saints, Wigan and Leeds don't seem to have a problem attracting families to their Friday night games.
