| Not bothered either way to be honest.
However if you've got kids playing junior rugby or football in the mornings and they normally attend you've automatically alienated quite a few people really.
Mind you our 2nd half performance was enough to put alot of people off anyway.

| 1PM Sunday - Naaaaaa!
Still would like us to try Sat. with a 6.30 / 7.00pm KO (With a little promotional work).
Too many alternatives on Sundays - even local kids rugby (who should be no.1 targets for attending our games, with parents) clash with our fixtures. The way we are playing will not pursuade families to give up one of their two free days of the week and spend (or waste) money in the process. If I was a family man with young kids would I wish to tie up a full Sunday watching 80 mins of boring rugby or take my family for a full day out? Well I have been brought up watching Leigh so I know what I would choose but I ask the people who run the club to think about the other 70000 people in the Leigh and surrounding districts who are not Leigh fanatics.
Would, 2 adults with 1 or 2 kids spend over £40 repeatedly at a theme park if the rides were slow and boring or a cinema if the films were rubbish? I think not.
Saturday is a shopping day for many and by tea time all the ASDA / B&Q visits are done. Apart from a live SKY game (most of which I personally can't be rsed watching) there is a couple of spare hours without any alternative attraction. Saturday night is then free for nights out (and after match beers without the problem of work in the morning) and Sunday is then free for the family.
I must admit that I hate Sundays now because by 6PM my weekend is over as I have had my rugby fix and theres nowt to do in the evening. Even TV is 5hit3. If we had played on the Saturday evening I would then have a full day to use as I wish. Anyone else agree?

I personally like sunday 3pm but I'm only 18 so the whole 'family day' thing isn't an issue (And rugby would come 1st anyway ) But could definately see the benefits of a saturday night game not clashing with anything.

As an away fan I much preferred the 1pm KO. Still gives you plenty of time to get there and you get home at a reasonable time as well. I was back home in Barrow at just after 4:30pm

| Preferred it however, there was no junior rugby. It would have been a bit of a rush if it was a Sunday with a match. Having said that, this will end on April 29th until first week in September.
6.00pm on Saturday would be my personal preference. Dont normally do much from 6 till 8 and leaves Sunday Free for trips out with the family or whatever.

| I would go for 7pm Saturdays, with a match day build up from 5pm to get families flocking in.
