True but you will struggle to sell season tickets if the home games are split between some Saturdays and some Sundays.

| Permanent saturdays would just be another nail going in the coffin in my opinion.

| Saturday is fine by me; clashes with nothing else I do.
Wendy ball has successfully diversified to Sundays, as has horse racing. Most large shops are open 7 days a week, pubs have changed their opening hours.
I can't see how playing on Saturday is any different to playing on Sunday to be honest.

I work every Saturday so I get every Sunday off so I can get to the majority of Sunday
games at BV. So I would struggle to get to many games if played on a Saturday.
Apologies in advance if you think I'm moaning.

Completely different!
Most of the local football league sides will play on a Saturday, so Barnsley, Donny, Leeds, Hudds, Wednesday, Sheff Utd etc. We're instantly competing with them for the sporting public if we go down that route.
I think Friday nights would be better.

| Must admit I'm probably the exception amongst the posters on here but I generally fit my life to suit the Wakey games. THis isn't always popular at home so I would prefer having Sundays free rather than Saturdays. Saturday is my "other sports" day but would just become my Trinity day with Sundays available for family stuff. Same with a change to any other day, Friday nights included.

| I'm sure the same excuses / reasons for not being able to attend will have been used when the club changed from Saturdays to Sundays....
I'm not bothered either way, but It would be good if the club could stick to one day and not mess about between Thurs / Fri / Sat / Sun / Mon. At least then I would have a chance of getting to Most games instead of having to try and rearrange a multitude of things to be able to attend. I know that Sky probably dictate when and at what time we play, but it has become a farce.

| How come we're all up in arms regarding playing Saturday's if we move to Dewsbury, who's said we'll be playing on Saturdays? The reason some of our play off games are on Saturday is due to the middle 8's.

Quote: JINJER "Chairman, Michael Carter has spoken about the choice of Saturday games, explaining, “We have chosen Saturday fixtures for two reasons. The first is that we want to have a minimum of a six day turnaround if not seven days between our fixtures. This will be extremely beneficial to get the best out of our team over the seven rounds. Secondly, is to get an appetite of how popular Saturday fixtures will be for future purposes.”'"
The latter part of that quote is an indication that Saturday kick offs are something Carter is thinking about next season regardless of where Trinity will be playing.
Makes no ends to me as I can generally plan my weekend around Trinity, I imagine a fair few people don’t or can’t. When you core support is poor anyway I don’t think it’s the best idea is to change the regular game day. Humans are creatures of habit and don’t take to change easily. It’s just creating a potential problem for the club down the line which really isn’t necessary.
