Quote: Father Ted "Crafty old sod is your man Pearson. Bear in mind that AP is a soccer man first!
Your crowds for Fridays are still larger than when Sunday was match day.
The statement says that there is a majority who want Sunday rather than Friday games. This move will be to suit the soccer and no other reason.When he dumps Agar and the season tickets and crowds increase he will say it is down to moving to Sundays. It will, of course, be due to him sacking Agar, recruiting a top class coach and bringing in a couple of quality signings.
That way he has pleased both clubs.
The soccer has HullFC playing the day after them rather than the day before when/if they both clash at home.
Rugby fans will be happy because Agar has gone and suddenly the club is in a far better position that in has been for some years.
Like I said, crafty lad is that Pearson fella!'"
If you think that then you are very naive, the guy is/has going to pump 2-3 million pounds of his own money into Hull, he isn't a supporter so want to be successful and get a return, he obviously thinks rightly or wrongly that a move to Sunday will get more people through the gate.
He isn't stupid though and it is obvious he knows that reduction in prices and more success on the pitch is the way forward.
It doesn't matter which day the game is played if we are winning (and it's cheaper to get in) the crowds will go up beyond anything we have seen, if we can challenge the top teams again we should average over 15K IMO.
