Quote: Chairman "Secondly, is to get an appetite of how popular Saturday fixtures will be for future purposes.'"

People will read into that what they want, my opinion fwiw is that the chairman is using these three games to test the water with Saturday fixtures to measure if it would be a popular move switching from Sunday to Saturday, maybe it's an experiment he's prepared to undertake in an effort to increase attendances.

The good people of Wakefield have demonstrated in their thousands that they have no appetite for Rugby League on Sundays. Why not try a different date - or maybe its the stewarding they don't like.

Why don the club actually ask the fans prior to making these decisions.

On the basis that most people have a life outside of Trinity and we have always played on Sundays (at least for the last 30 odd years).
People will obviously struggle to re arrange their lives at short notice and for those who have bought S/T's on the basis of Sunday games (apart from Sky changes), this is just another slap in the face.

For God's sake, look after your customers, there aren't too many of us left.

We lose one of our group, who works on Saturdays, plus a couple of others who play cricket (yes, I know) on Saturdays.

If there had to be an experiment, pick one of the fixtures to try it, not all of them.

Makes sense to me.

I'm a season ticket holder for Barnsley FC so Saturdays would be very awkward for me. The move to Dewsbury would probably make my mind up as to which team takes precedence.

Many of the few remaining Wakefield supporters I know are also stalwart supporters of the local amateur game which, guess what, play on Saturday afternoons.

If this becomes the norm then these said people,myself included, could well have to choose between the two. When it involves family members playing the amateur game then I know where many loyalties will lie again to the detriment of Wakey's crowds.

Perhaps it will be more convenient for Dewsbury if we play on Saturdays next season?

Its all supposition but if we do end up in a ground share next year, be it Dewsbury, Hunslet, Fev or wherever, there will inevitably be some weekends when both clubs might need to play at home. It therefore makes sense that MC would gauge interest in Saturday fixtures both by staging a couple of games on Saturdays but doubtless by watching the comments on social media.

I would say he has considered this very carefully because his ultimate goal is to switch our games to a Saturday probably because it suits our landlords. If you are trying to prove Saturday's generate more interest than Sunday's which three games would you choose. I would expect the fact it is the play offs would naturally increase the attendance with both the home and away supporters compared with the non fixtures of the last few months.

How would you split the revenue if each match was a double header ?

Having said that Dewsbury will only use the ground every other Sunday and it cant be too difficult for the fixture planners to sort.

Yes. That's exactly why they are exploring the Saturday option, in order to make us look second fiddle... icon_rolleyes.gif
