| Hopefully that's the last ever Sunday we play. Dismall crowd, poor atmosphere. You can't compete with premier league games on tv on Sunday afternoons and early Saturday evenings. There is a reason SL clubs play on Friday nights! The coach wants the change the players want the change, the corporates want the change. Saturday nights in the summer you are competing with nights out, the bbq party lovers and 80% of the season the 5:30 premier league game. Sundays your competing with the family time, the second lot of bbq partiers and 2 premier league games. lets stop pandering to the I don't like change brigade and start engaging with the under 25's who don't have other attractions on a Friday night. Lets move quick before we lose another generation.

So now your Speaking for the Coach , the Players , and the Sponsers who apparently ALL want to change Game days and times ? I don't know about PR , or the Players who I DO know a couple of Sponsers who like it as it is .
And you keep Harping on about the under 25s , are you Chief of the Age Police ?Most under 25s I know go to Manchester to the Clubs on Friday Nights .

| Won't disagree on that but after going Sundays and preferring this personally for far too many years to admit I feel it could be time to trial Friday evenings and this at this moment in my life would be my preference. We have to try this though in late spring/early summer when hopefully it's not too cold.
It was bitter in more ways than one today

So you think you will get the "casual" fan on a Friday, when a SL game like Wire v Pies is on the telly!??
Not a hope!

I think we have tried most permutations for Game times and Days , Friday nights , Saturdays at around 6.00pm playing Toulouse , and old Faithful Sunday afternoons , I don't think it made much difference to the Attendance figures though .Im sure Andy Mazey and the other BOM , will listen to any ideas to improve attendances .

A big football game has far more of a negative effect on our crowd than a big Super League game IMO.

| Didn't we have a vote a few years back and most people wanted Sunday afternoons. I don't mind when we play as long as we're told before people buy season tickets. I remember a couple of seasons back we were told we'd be playing Sundays then when the fixtures came out most games were Friday nights.
