| It's a bit late to comment now that the consultation has ended. I would presume we'll hear the results soon.

The club is on a hiding to nothing in respect of this.
Fans are not going to buy season tickets for Sundays because hardly any games are played on sundays.
They may as well move to Friday nights and try to change their marketing strategy.
Otherwise they stick with sundays and just watch the fans drift away.
I did not get a ST this year because games are now played on 5 different days. I will not get a ST again.
Regardless of when the club want them to play SKY call the tune.
There is no point the club consulting with the fans it is irrelevant.
They should have just canvassed Sky management because it is SKY who will determine when we play.
Bring on Fridays forget kids and families and start a new marketing strategy because they are losing fans left right and centre over night changes.
There is no point buying a ST.
They now need to look at flexible half season tickets or choose any 6 games or whatever.

| Yeah, forget kids and families. Why should they get a suitable time to watch rugby league!?
When we are all grey and old we'll bring in a fresh batch of 18-50 year olds who haven't grown up watching the giants to come watch... As long as they don't have familes obviously.
Positives... When all the singing and chanting is happening there won't be any children who's voices haven't broke singing and it may sound more intimidating to the opposition.
And.... No second half banging of Big G's annoying drum!

| To do away with the families and concentrate more on the 'night out' theme would be silly IMO, we lost 2 generations of fans from the late 70's to the early 00's, those kids that have been introduced are now growing up and having and indeed bringing kids of their own.
Wouldn't it be ironic if we moved to Friday nights and Sky then decided to start showing games on Sunday's again so we have to go through it all again !!

| the clubs couldn't sign the new sky contract quick enough so matches will be Thursday Friday and possibly Mondays this and this mad new structure will put fans off buying season tickets especially if there is a large increase.

| i sent an email to league express regarding SKY's tagline when introducing the weekend games
"it's not the same unless you're at the game"
how ironic then that SKY are as much to blame as anyone as to why people aren't going to the games anymore, chopping and changing gamedays and thus making it near impossible for some supporters to attend games.

I have got to agree with the 6 game option. That way I will get to some games at a cheaper rate. A full season pass has stopped being what I would want as game changes mean I can no longer get to all home games, and certainly not with my 4 year old grandson.

| Don't forget the offer this season if anyone missed a game due to short notice change then they get a discount off next years ST
Which is a decent offer but maybe needs to be expanded on

How does this work? Keep the ticket of the one you couldn't attend? I always tear mine out to be tidy
