| Quite a few people would be unable to attend Sat/Fri evening games , so that is going to be a big factor in any decision, were as most of the fans screaming for 6pm on Saturdays seem to want it to fit in with their boozing programmes

| I think the vote should be put in a way that emphasis is not on personal preference as such but on pointing out the possibilities of getting more people going. The vast majority that go regular will go whether it be Fri/Sat/Sun. I think Sat 6:30-7pm doesn't half offer the club something extra to promote games.
Would be interested to know how W1gan approached their change. ie Did they just do it, or had a vote?
If club does give a change a chance it does need to be given time. Our trouble sometimes is for whatever reason ideas when done seem half hearted

| I wish the RFL would make clubs play on one given day and time depending on TV. That way the media will have a clue when a RL game is going to be played.

I do remember there being disapproval for the idea at the time, but now the position is completely reversed and people are disappointed with non-Friday games.
I'd personally prefer Saturday evening games as, being a football fan as well, I'm sometimes left to make a choice of whether to go to the football or the rugby on a weekend and leave one day free for quality time with the family, sure it must be similar for others who watch football etc.

| Problem with this survey is that I bet most replies have come from existing fans, most of which will attend whichever day / time we play. The reason for the survey should be to see how we can get more fans therefore we would need to ask folk away from this forum - it would need a week or two's research outside ASDA & in the town centre Thurs/Fri & Sat. We should ask:-
a) Do you watch Leigh?
b) If the answer is no, is it due to Sunday KO's and would you attend if it could be moved to a different day / time?.
This would be the only worthwhile excercise.
The only other way would be to test one against the other against similar opposition in similar conditions e.g. Batley & Dewsbury but this could now only happen next season and we may be missing an opportunity.

| Good call that. Personally the time of the games doesn't have any bearing on when I can go to games. It's all on whether i'm working or not.

That's the exact same with me as well jonny, i work every other weekend so it wouldn't make much difference to me either way.

Actually 'people over 50' would probably say 'It was always Saturday afternoon.' Friday night would always mean clashing with either Wigan or Saints.

| Friday nite is no good as its too tempting to just stay in or go to pub and watch SL game - especially when its dark and -9deg early in season. Plus getting W1gan/Wire/Saints fans watching odd game should be a aim too.

I see your point Jonny, but they may do on another day or in this case night, just a thought.

Got any evidence for the FACT?
