Ok, have an opinion, but please back it up.

Fridays for me. Better atmosphere, better chance of attracting corporates, less likely to get moved for sky, games against the better clubs would not have a short turn around and it keeps the week end available.

I have on previous threads and my statement still stands, there are far more reasons/opportunities to have better attendances having Sunday matches than on Fridays

Better crowds on Friday nights. Our highest attendances were around 3 or 4 years ago when we were playing Friday nights iir

From my own personal point view, I,d go for fridays but having a mixture say playing yorkshire clubs on fridays & lancashire clubs on sundays to give away fans a chance to get to games could work.Also why not have a voting form on season pass renewal forms?

THe evidence doesn't stack up with your view.

Putting the derbies to one side of all the 15k plus attendances we have had at the KC, very few have been for Sunday games. Halifax in the cup and Bradford in SL, both in our first season at the KC spring to mind. After that I struggle to think of a big gate other than an Friday evening game.

The main thing going against Friday nights is the travel factor for away fans. That being said, Wigan bring a decent number with them for evening games in the recent past. I'd say that there are other factors which put fans off travelling to Hull. Price and the "reputation" issues being the main ones.

Wigan and Leeds consistently get approx 15k of home fans for evenings and it's true that selling corporate seats is easier on Friday evenings.

Finally, as experiences go, it always feels like there is more of a buzz on an evening game rather than a Sunday afternoon.

Im lucky enough to be able to go to either Fridays or Sundays but much prefer Sundays.
Think it would be a poor decision to ever switch back to Fridays.
Especially at the beginning of the season when the weather was cold, wet and depressing and the rugby usually matched it.
Plus you miss the sky game on TV if you play on a Friday.

Sundays please. Get to about half the home games now, absolutely no chance of getting to any from London on a Friday without constantly taking days off work. Sky means we get a mixture of both anyway. Agree the atmosphere is better at a night game but for fans who live outside Hull it's much more hassle.

I don't have a preference to be honest, it's Saturdays at 6pm I'm not keen on.

Sundays are easier for my elderly father, who has supported Hull for over 60 years. He much prefers turning out on an afternoon rather than a night and has only missed one home game this season due to this.

I feel your pain. For a while I lived over seas, obviously no chance of getting to games. When I repatriated I lived Berkshire meaning if I wanted to go to a game it was a 500 mile round trip.

But is it reasonable for the club to make a decision for a very small number of fans?

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg



After todays atmos fridays look the option , it was like a funeral home today with the exceptions of
1. O.mealy's fisty cuffs
2. The ref going on his
3. Moaning at the ref (with good reason I might add)
4. And obviously the trys
I think old faithfull was heard once (when game was won)
10 thousand fans at the game today and we made more noise at caravan park with about 10% of that

If I wanted glory and the joys of supporting a well financed and well organised sport I'd pick another one.:4288.gif



Going to have to be a mix of both Fridays and Sundays. I like Sunday afternoons because I'm used to them and like the whole day being about FC in one way or another. Fridays though free up the whole weekend. The floodlights make all the difference with the atmosphere, it must be something genetically programmed into us all, we like it in the evenings.

As far as I can work out FC Voices weren't consulted as such. There was a small survey done, it was done in part at the 9's, amongst the questions was this very one. Perhaps that was the consultation being referred to. It was being run by the club though.

I know it's school hols and Salford only brough 52 fans but to get less than 11,000 means that for me it's got to be back to Fridays, although not adverse to Sundays up to Easter as an earlier poster wrote.
