Quote Pie Eyed="Pie Eyed"That's the thing - Saturday = Doing stuff that NEEDS to be done every week (shopping, etc.). Sunday is the day to do things that we WANT to do (whether that be working on the house or going out).
There is a reason that the only fan-survey that I know of threw out Friday night as the best time to play games.
(If there was a more recent one, it was not very well advertised).
And as for "alright for those who do not work" - Garbage.
I work until 5:30 or 6pm most days and still make the match just fine.
If it's away at Hull, etc. then I just finish a little early by starting an hour earlier.
Friday night travel = lower crowds... Nope. Sundays (apart from Wakey and Cas, where it is still traditional) get lower attendances across the board.
And as for television, etc. - That only affects the Thursday games (which I personally hate).
Right now, it feels like IFL trying to get more people to hang around in the fan-zone before and after the game, to get a bit more money in, by using Sundays to allow a bit more time.'"
So now we know, doing the shopping on a Sunday is now more important than watching Rugby League in spite of shops and supermarkets being open more than they use to be and what's the problem with doing the shopping on the tradition day of Saturday, unless of course you are also a football supporter
It was also traditional for Wigan and other clubs in the days of Central Park and also other clubs until Sky came on the scene and geared people to their way of thinking or should I say game scheduling.
