I can't make my mind up about Fridays. The atmosphere seems better, but then I, like many others, struggle to get to the match on time - I prefer having plenty of time before and after the game to relax.

Not really a fan tbh. I like to have a couple of pints before and a couple of pints after so by the time you get to the station its 10.15 and it was also bloody cold!

I still prefer Saturday or Sunday 3pm KO's really.

Im a fan of playing under flood-lights but Friday nights are a nightmare. Choice of squashing on the tube at rush hour, or spending 2 hours on the M25 Friday night car park. I got back to MK at 12:30am!! Will come whenever they play, but London and Friday nights dont mix unless your fanbase are local.

Fri nights never gonna be good in getting away fans to turn up, and we need every fan we can get home or away
Personally not a prob for me yesterday as i was not in work so easy peasy, maybe Sat nights early eve the way ahead, we have tried everything else why not

Saturday 5.30

Totally agree

Saturday 5.30 would work for me!!

That's it pal. I can't grasp why any other kick off time would be better.

I'd stop coming regularly if the club moved to Friday's. It's a total pain getting there on time, post match I just have to turn around and go home and still get home late. It's not worth that just to watch 80 mins of rugby. The pre / post match time is pretty important. If the club can get enough locals watching Friday nights could work - if you can mooch down easily after work and get home at a sensible time I can see the appeal. However, at the moment a lot of our fans are not based in London and I doubt I'd be the only one to drift away if the club were ever to move.

I suspect the 5:30 start is more to do with SS tellybox folks than Quins RL.

If it's a pain in bum for London(ish) based folks just give a thought those who had to venture beyond the m62 corridor to support their team. I'm sure a few sets of crayons will get a work out this weekend as they moan in League Express letters section about having to leave Yorkshire on a Friday to watch their team.

Whilst disapointed that we lost, Giants did play well and if they had not taken us so lightly I suspect they'd have really crushed us as a few of their fans had expected. There were times in the game were we just got on with it, sucked it up and stopped them running up a possible cricketesque score.

Had that been last season i'm pretty convinced we'd have capitulated and they would have won by 50+ points. But it isn't and we didn't.

Perhaps supporters now need to start to believe.

However we had opportunities that we neither converted nor made them really work to stop us converting. Are we a thin squad? Time will only tell as injuries take their toll and some of our "not SL ready"(Copyright Dave Lister) U20's step up to be counted.

When Ellis went off after his marriage tackle was "redesigned" we lost shape and some momentum. Karl Pryce needs to start to believe in his own abililities and truly show the RL world that he is a SL player. I think we saw a few moments on Friday.

If anyone one had said in pre-season that after 4 rounds we'd be 3-1 and the early season SL revalations I'd have said they were



But we are and we are. Just need a stand up performance next week. And a big slice of luck.

Keep the faith.

But the Friday night attendance figures always seem to compare favourably with those for similar fixtures played on Saturday or Sunday, so if there are fewer away supporters on Fridays we must be attracting more supporters of our own.

I missed this game due to a one-off commitment but Friday evening is usually going to be the best day for me in terms of always being free to go without cancelling any other plans. It does feel like a bit of a rush to get there, but I don't normally arrive until just before kick off anyway. It just means I leave immediately after the game and get to my local for a few pints by half ten instead of hanging around in Twickenham for a drink.

Saturday (or Sunday) evenings don't suit me at all, but if anyone is going to suggest evening kick offs I'd have thought a later time than 5.30 would enable us to pick up people who've been to an afternoon football or union match or played RLC matches. We also seem to have several Saturday afternoon clashes with Skolars each year, so it would even allow people to double up with that. (Personally I don't really like dashing from one venue to another to take in two matches. I'm more likely to do the earlier one, then go for a few pints.)

We probably have the most diverse supporter base in Superleague in terms of background and location, so any chosen time/day is going to be a nuisance for a lot of people. I just think we need to pick something and stick with it for a few seasons instead of chopping and changing all the time. The biggest problem with Saturdays is there are too many clashes with other events, so a lot of them will get switched to other days even before SkySports start meddling with the fixtures, then it's difficult for the more casual attenders to get into a routine of going along out of habit at the same time every other week.

Trying to take a detached view, the club simply has to find a way of pulling larger crowds. If some existing supporters drift away because the matchday/kick off time doesn't suit them, but a greater number of new ones come on board as a result the club will be better off. If I'm one of those who become disenfranchised so be it.

It's a 4 train journey home for me when we play Friday nights, so thats a ball ache. The plus side is that I am already in central London for work, so getting there is fairly straight forward.
For me, i'd prefer Saturdays at 3 or 5:30. That gives good time in the bar before the game, and time for beer and curry after.
