| Quote Leyther_Matt="Leyther_Matt"I think the main issue here is that Keith Freer made it clear in no uncertain terms at the last Fans Forum that, TV games and Good Friday aside, our home games would be on a Sunday, and no doubt people have bought season tickets or signed up to the Touchdown Club while based on that premise. The decision had undoubtedly been made by that point to shift x number of games to Friday nights and that was the perfect format for supporters to raise any feedback about it or for the club to explain that decision.'"
I can now rest easy and sleep well at night knowing we have a lying sneaky horrible barsteward in charge of our club at the moment. Why come out and tell such lies at a fans forum?? People wonder why there are lots of questions about what goes on behind closed doors.

| I freely admit that I prefer Sunday afternoon, but acknowledge that others would prefer evening games. Also, I don't know how much say we have had in this process - for example, Swinton don't seem to be doing Friday's this season, and some of their 'home' matches are on the same weekend as ours. (surely, the RFL fixture boffins could have ensured they were away, when we are at home, and vice versa?)
However, there is one point worth remembering, for those who are unhappy about the fixtures - up to about a month ago, there was a very strong possibility that we wouldn't have a team to watch, this coming season. Fixture dates would have then been a total irrelevance!
Let's hope we are pleasantly surprised by our Friday attendances.

| I'm with most of you guys particularly if the club has said it would keep as many games as possible for Sunday 3pm.
As it happens Friday evening benefits me but its about the majority and I can still make most games on the Sunday even though it is more hassle. If it's been done to help Swinton out then I'm very disappointed but lets see what the club have to say.
I doubt moving to Friday will help to attract more support as anyone who witnessed our SL fiasco will concur. We had some potentially big games (support wise) on Friday's and the attendances were pretty poor I recall. Leeds and Saints are two that spring to mind immediately.

| Has this been done for Swintons benefit? Their attendances aren't the best so was this done to help make a decent enough crowd for them as possible as they know us Leigh fans are die hards and are well supported [size=85(for the championship)[/size no matter what?

I'm glad you've put that in writing, James
In the case of the fixture clashes with Swinton, surely we have first priority on playing on the Sunday? Maybe the club asked to play on the Friday in those situations rather than the traditional Sunday? Either way, it needs clearing up or the rumour mill will undoubtedly be in full swing, if not already.

amazed you have not applied for a PR job at the club, can we have that as our new club logo.
and correct matt, keith DID state sunday matches. Now the club as wanted the town to gather round the club in its darkest hour, and i believe many fans have gone the extra mile. Also a good team as been put in place for the coming season FANTASTIC
SO WHY HAVE THE FANS NOT BEEN ASKED THERE VIEWS ON MATCH DAYS???
Its great we still have a club  just a selfish view off a supporter for the last 20+ years who always buys a season ticket,shirt and is also going to be helping out for the junior supporters club.

| Yes I agree, theres been no offical reason given for the Friday night, cant see it being a change of plan as the draft fixtures would have been sent to the club many many weeks ago.

| Forget the Touchdown club and ST. I won't be going Fridays! If I only watch the odd match then I may not go at all to LSV next season. Don't know who decided on a Friday but they are wrong, change it back to Sunday why you still can and before I cancel my Lisa

| Quote THECherry&Whites="THECherry&Whites"On a more possitive note. I know of lot's of people who can now attend more home matches thanks to the switch in match days.

No way will this happen,.......the casual fan will think 'big game on Sky', or pay £16 gold coins to watch a non promotion / relegation fixture??

The day/time of matches has always raised emotions. As I've already stated, I prefer Sunday afternoons, to evenings too, and fully respect your feelings on the matter.
But will I continue to support my team? You bet I will!
