Can't understand why the fixture committee have left the final fixture to a the derby as would have been much better before the end but as we play them on the obligatory good Friday fixture and at the MM then it doesn't leave much option.
Agree about the St's game at 12.30pm on a Saturday being a pretty crap time and its one even football fans aren't keen on but it may prove popular being so early in the season. To be honest can't say I'm liking the number of Saturday afternoon games. I think for families in particular its more of a negative than a positive as with so many things that families do on weekends Saturday fixtures really do through spanners in that and I can see some still attending the games regularly and some picking and choosing.
I know its all down to personal preference etc when it comes to game times but for me I've been a regular of the old Sunday afternoon format in the good old days but I actually preferred the Friday night games as they seemed to have a bit more atmosphere for me and seemed more enjoyable and it then left the weekend free. Thursday night games are a pain with the kids as they never want to get up for school the following morning.
It would be interesting to know from AP the reasoning behind the move to more Saturday afternoon games.'"
Possibly an SMC request? They can recruit staff saying its mainly Saturday working.
There's no ideal time or day that suits everyone, we live in an ever changing society where people work all kinds of shifts, hybrid home and office work etc. Personally I prefer weekend games, can avoid the ever worsening weeknight traffic in Hull, its also a bit warmer having afternoon games in Winter and hopefully a few more Away fans in the ground too.
