| Quote: " Friday April 3rd v York City Knights at Cougar Park - KPL1 - 15
It never ceases to amaze me when Good Friday and other Bank Holiday games are arranged with a 3.00 p.m. Kick Off only to be re-arranged (on some occasions) later when the Club realises that the vast majority of supporters actually work on Good Friday in West Yorkshire, unlike Lancashire and other places. How many of the players will also be working on Good Friday?
So, with the excellent crowds which we have had to date this Season there is no wonder that this game will be starting at 3.00 p.m. Obviously the Club doesn't need to attract all of the support that it can glean from anywhere otherwise the game would Kick Off at the usual Good Friday time of 19.30.
Some of the decisions which are made by the Club completely mystify me, or do they also mystify others?
Perhaps the Club will see sense and confirm that the game will be played on the evening of Good Friday, or will they?

It is sometimes better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt !: |

I can only speak from personal experience, but in my entire 41 years working life spanning 6 jobs I have never worked on Good Friday, maybe I have been lucky, who knows.

Your lucky 30 years in engineering and I have never had good Friday off, unless I have taken it as leave, Luckily I finish at lunch time, most engineering companies in Yorkshire I deal with also work Good Friday, and have Easter Monday off plus Tuesday. |

Bradford City are a 7:45 KO on Good Friday. Won't be happening. |

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Yep, never had good Friday off, always Mon/Tues.
I personally think this is a bad move by the club but it will be interesting to see what sort of crowd we get. |

Is that your personal opinion or an official club statement?
If an official statement is it out of consideration for our fans that support City too, or out of convenience to the directors?

Forgetting Superleague, there are 13 Good Friday fixtures, only Batley, Fev & Bulls have evening kick offs.

A quick glance shows the only Yorkshire side to play fri afternoon are Hunslet and that's to maximise the massive following from Leigh. |

Personal opinion. But I also know Gary tries his best to avoid clashing with the football when he can because he knows that Bradford City, Burnley and Leeds home games kill our attendances when our games clash with them. |

If we have a far superior product to Mo & Ron Ball's game and we have, then it shows how much hard work needs to be done to show how and why Rugby League is "The Greatest Game"!
But if you hold your hands up and say we can't compete, then you never will.
How many people REALLY knew that Exeter had a , by RU poor standards, a team at all?
They do now due to tremendous efforts by lots of people.
RL sits and waits for things to happen and wonders why it never does.
This is not a dig at the Cougars but the game in this country as a whole. In Aus, they fight back against AFL etc but here we just don't even make the effort

Lucky me, Good Friday off as well as Monday and Tuesday. I just hope we play better and get a win, otherwise it will be a long painful season.
