Wasn’t the match day/times put to the supporters a few years ago and Friday evenings won hands down?

Yes and as I said on another thread crowds on Sundays are always much lower than Fridays.

Only proving that supporters are now using our games as a fill in on a Weekend and not as a day out experience on the Weekend day like Saturday like they do in Football and Rugby Union.

How many now travel over the Pennines on a Friday Night in each direction to boost crowds at our grounds compared to the number that use to do when all games were played on a Sunday before Sky came on the scene.

Friday Nights may suit home supporters, especially those with no work commitments, but they are doing nothing for those who do work or way support with the exception of local games involving St Helens, Warrington and Wigan on our side of the Pennines or local games between Castleford, Leeds and Wakefield in West Yorkshire or Hull FC and Hull KR on Humberside.

Three younger members of my family have stopped supporting the club as a result of Friday Night games interfering with their work commitments.

Well, they'd lose one season ticket sale here if they went to Sundays and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. I can manage a few Sundays in a season but very often need to write games off. I don't mind for the occasional game but it's simply uneconomical to do it for more than a couple.

But according to ruddy duck would gain thousands

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.

I'm struggling to really see the downside of Sunday KOs. And even if it is true that Friday night gates average higher than Sunday games, maybe that's because Friday night games have become the norm, so people are adjusting their habits and behaviour to suit? Maybe if Sunday games were more common, crowds would grow?

People have already posted them.

I don’t mind Sunday games but I do like the Friday/Saturday night games (even though the latter tend to be rather than rocking horse dung these days). A good mix of both is best IMO. First and foremost though we need to sack off Thursday night games.

Possible minor point to most but it’s much more difficult to fill the corporate lounges on Sunday in my experience.

My personal preference:

Fri 7.45pm - Historically most favoured by fans and Corporate.

Sun 3pm - Pretty good this time of year, good for post match revenue in the fan zone.

Sat 6pm - Don't see enough of these anymore. Would love to see this replace Thurs night games, should get bigger crowds and good viewing figures.

Thurs 7.45pm - Crowd killer and held to ransom by SKY, change to Saturday Evening's would be better.
