They will probably pick on clubs with large amounts of season ticket holders to make sure of reasonable crowds .
Monday nights would rule me out , would have to take 2 days of work as it would my lad as well .

| Fans use a Friday night as an excuse not to travel. A Monday night would barely see any away fans.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league

Home fans wouldn't be as keen either. Disaster if this happens IMO.

So would I. The fact is some fans can't, the RFL need to put the fans and players first. Games on mondays does not do that.
I live in Coventry, I can't come back for a monday night game.
Put the fans first, no monday night games.

| What a nothing game Salford v Bradford would be to kick it off as well. If Salford get off to a bad start then a lot of home fans may have lost interest and Bradford fans haven't been travelling in any great numbers over the last few seasons. They'd try and hype it on Sky then the cameras would cut to an empty stadium, brilliant advert for the sport!

| Another case of Rugby League fans never being happy!, it's unfortunate for the people who have to travel a long way to see home games, but realistically, how many home games on sky would we be playing on a monday night? I can't see it being a massive amount. and wheres the difference between travelling to leeds on a friday night or a monday night??... lets scrap friday night games too!... It's a good oppurtunity to show live rugby league on sky sports 1 at a time when theres not gonna be much else to compete with for viewers, the games might end up being played infront of lower crowds. but if viewing figures go up then ultimately that can be a good thing right? and give us good reason to get more money in any future tv deals? at the end of the day where would super league even be without sky?

One glaringly obvious difference between travelling on a Friday and a Monday is that people have work and those with kids have school on a Tuesday, but not on a Saturday. You might not get home til after midnight and if it's on tele anyway it will definitely put people off. Fair enough Sky pay the money but we still need fans on the terraces!

| Yeh i get your point. I'd normally be in work first thing on a saturday morning so it doesn't make a difference for me, but it will for some like you say. Anyway, I'll give it a chance and see how it goes before I start knocking it. Who knows, the crowds might not be as disastrous as people are expecting.

| Our first Monday night game will be hull away, if we get really lucky London away!
I think we need to give it a go, anything that will get more sky money in for the clubs will be a good thing.

That's because you're a Brigantes and you think you're better than the rest of us

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

So the season will start with Saturday games, then transfer to Monday? I can't see the games sponsors being overly happy.
