We do not play at 1500hrs so why change what is the point. This should be discussed I don't remember it being raised and I doubt it will be received very well by many supporters.'"
Your last tiny piece of credibility has just gone out of the door.
Blatant agenda indeed.

| Oh Agent XIII. You baffle me sometimes
I can't believe this is such a big issue. I'm ok that you not seeing good in everything but that doesn't mean you have to see bad in everything.
3.30 kick off was nothing to do with Wakefield Trinity. As you say yourself it's only since the late seventies that clubs have played at 3.30. It was a marketing ploy by the RL at the time, David Howes in particular that decided it would be good to have Sunday 3.30 as the Rugby League Hour.
Other clubs have moved away from that already.
We have also played games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening.
Why you feel you should be consulted is between you and your psychiatrist but I can't see it being a big deal either way. I always felt 3.30 was a bit late anyway.

| Unfortunately I did buy a season ticket because I could have made 3.30 KO. I work sundays and dont finish till half 2 and have to travel from Leeds. If id have known this I wouldnt have bought a season ticket. So I dont really know where that leaves me know? 200 quid I could have spent going to away games that know I dont have. You can call me negative but the club shouldnt really do this without prior notice to the fans.

| It's a thumbs up from me for the change. I work every Sunday night so that extra half an hour not having to rush around is a big help to me.

| Whilst in the larger scheme of things it doesn't really matter i have to ask what is the point in changing? At a time when many fans are feeling disillusioned with the club why give them one more reason, no matter how minor it is perceived by some, for them to stay away? And surely having them into the ground longer pre-match is better given we have brought the catering back in house anyway? Will it effect me? No probably not but like it or not many people are creatures of habit and won't like the change. It just seems a pointless exercise to me.

I'd suggest anyone who now can't make games because of the chance contact the club. They maybe refunds or downgraded memberships available to help you out.

As you can see from the rest of the posts most seem to be positive but there are always the odd casualty and you have my sympathy because i too would be gutted.
In defence of the club they do only appear to be in line with every other club in Sl by kicking off at 3.00pm and had they of consulted im sure the majority would have been in favour/not bothered.
Can you not have a word with your boss and colleagues to see if on those sundays we are at home, you can sneak off 15 minutes early, maybe suggest going in early to compensate (i'm guessing as i have no idea what you do mate).

Or if enough people are sufficiently affected they may revert back to 1530 kick offs.

| I can only count 7 home 3pm Sunday games anyway, so not the greatest issue, although I wonder at the change. It will affect some people, and give some people the chance to moan, whereas no one can moan at the status quo.
For me, not bothered either way.

Slugger - thats over half the games of the season ticket.It would have made no financial sense to purchase if someone cant make 3pm.

You put your hand up and bought in when MC made a rallying call to fans and I know its a big commitment financially for you.
Well done for doing that but it seems this latest decision throws that back at you.

I disagree,most seem not bothered either way,which is different from positive.There are three groups here,the not bothered,in favour and not in favour.
How do you come to the conclusion we are falling in line with every other super league club by kicking off at 3pm?
Cas - 3.30pm Sunday
London 3.00pm Saturday
Catalans 6.00pm Saturday
Leeds/Hull/Wigan - 8pm Friday
The club should have considered the opinions of the in favour and not in favour.
