| Had a quick look and counted FIVE Sunday fixtures..
Club needs to think about what it is doing because falling between two days will lose fans from both sides off the fence.

| The lack of Sunday's is bad enough but the quality of the opposition for those games that are on Sunday may mean people who don't renew may not feel inclined to shell out £24 to watch games they can actually make.

| Notice the Saints home game was Sunday but bet your bottom dollar it get changed by Sky. Really disappointing as people have said on the opposition for Sunday games. Travelling over from Manchester in the week means this will be my last year for a while I think. As much as l like sky games I feel it's reaching saturation point, as well as affecting attendances, not just ours.

| I personally love Thursday night fixtures.. People need to stop moaning and support your club.. .IT is what it is... Get on with it, it's not going to change... Sitting behind a keyboard and moaning about about SKY and how our attendances are going to drop isn't going to help.

| sometimes the games have to be switched to friday not just for sky but because of a short turnaround the following week, the clubs can ask them to be swithced due to player welfare
friday or sunday doesnt really make much difference on the attendance figure going by the attendances in recent seasons for the games played on those days. switches in roundabouts, some may go because its a friday night and not a sunday afternoon

| People complaining about games being changed for Sky have no argument, Annoying as it may be, without Sky there would be no Club and probably no game at pro level. He who pays the Piper and all that.

People will get on with it and not renew. It's not going to help true but it's going to happen and attendances will drop.
Sitting behind a keyboard and telling people to stop moaning and support the club is fine but reality dictates there will be a drop and the club need to address that if the finances are critically dependant on gate receipts as opposed to other income.

That's a fair point... The club definitely need to develop a strategy for the fixture changes..

Some people need to 'get over it' that people have opinions that 'personally' differ from their own.
There are many factors for the situation as it is, as has been stated by plenty of people on here. Sitting behind your keyboard as the self appointed thought police is jack all use too.

| The club already have developed a strategy with announcement that any games changed to Thursday will result in money refunded on Thursday games that people cannot attend.
Some people can't do Thursday's, some can't do Sunday's, can't cater for every person all the time- it's life.
The club asked what the fans wanted and they said Sunday- unfortunately the clubs also decided they needed sky money- so we are in a situation where there is little consistency- no point folk moaning when they get what they want as well as when they don't!

The easy solution is do not buy a season ticket. Pay when you attend a game. Without The Sky money the Clubs cannot survive.

| It's a real shame this. The club have put a lot of time and money into attracting families to games, Thursday nights are not family friendly, Friday nights are not good for young kids either, because of that I won't be renewing. Hopefully my interest will continue enough to pay on the day for Sunday afternoon games. Maybe when my family are older I will return as a season ticket holder.

| just a quick one on this, has anyone thought to give feedback to the club? if you are planning on not renewing then maybe offer the club some feedback on why?
that way then at least the club have a general idea on why attendances, and /or season ticket sales are declining.
i'm pretty sure they would be glad to get the feedback, also maybe join the supporters association and use it as a voice?
