| Wrong call, tapping into the amateur game for support doesn't work anyway imo, and transport in London is a nightmare on a Sunday especially when we are so far out from the centre.

| Can only concur re travel issues based on past experiences and, in my case, the added factor that main line into Paddington is going through a long term upgrade to electrify it at long last. I expect that Sundays will be even more disrupted than in the past.
Mind you club can't be expected to base its strategies on appealing to distant geriatrics, so maybe there's a grand plan?

| No to Sundays. Later kick off on a Saturday would be better if the club wants to attract amateur players as supporters.

| Bad idea. Even a cursory glance at the database of members and former season ticket holders will reveal that we come from far and wide and hence ease of travel is an important consideration. And what about the visiting fans?

| There has been wide discussion about this since the end of the season - Sunday may or may not be the plan, and it may or may not suit our fan base. The effect or otherwise on away fans is of NO consequence. We have a ground that's easier to get to from Featherstone than from Kent already!

| Is transport worse on a Sunday than a Saturday? Tube engineering works seem to be the same across both days to me. I personally wouldn't be against Sundays

Rail engineering work more likely on Sunday on my line!

| And less trains generally - one an hour from my neck of the woods instead of three.

| Given that all the other sides in the Division play on a Sunday, London Broncos are between a rock and a hard place on this one. Play home matches on Saturdays and you are imposing a day less turnaround on yourself after an away Sunday fixture (but if you think about it you'd give yourself an extra days recovery/preparation for the next away game!) and that is one of two reasons given for Sunday fixtures on the club website.
Everyone has their own reasons for preferring one day over the other.
Saturday makes a lot of sense to me for many personal and practical reasons. I will certainly get to a few Sunday games next year, but Car hire or Car ownership will be the only way to get there and back with family as it would not be achieveable using rail on a Sunday.
For the Club, they have to work out their market and who they want to attract to the Hive next year and in the future as they are going to be at this level for the foreseeable future. They clearly need to attract an audience locally or at least from a radius around the London area who have no issues about what day of the weekend they play due to travel.
Go Broncos!!
