i prefer friday nights, my youngest lad starts to get a bit tired half way thro the 2nd half because it goes past his bed time but he is getting more used to it, i agree it leaves the weekend free too, and it means i get a fresh sunday dinner that i dont have to microwave, i also think it improves the atmosphere playing under lights

Really? Why bother doing a poll then? In any case as it stands your statement is incorrect.



Attendances have increased since the switch to Friday nights, so this is incorrect. The top two supported teams Wigan and Leeds play the vast majority of their home games on Friday nights too. The biggest factor in attendances is form of the team not the day of the week the match is played.



Possibly, but the difference isn't that major. Will the away support for Catalans, Crusaders, Harlequins or Salford be that different regardless of the day? Hull KR will always bring the same be it a Good Friday lunch, Friday night or a Sunday afternoon.

I prefer Friday nights as it frees up the weekend and the atmosphere will generally be better at night games (poor form not withstanding ). I do take the point about missing the Sky game, though.

I'm sure we have had this conversation several times in the past. I vote Fri / Sun mix for purely selfish reasons, I work all over the UK and so frequently can't make the Friday night games. I do think Friday nights have a better atmosphere, but it would be nice to accommodate people like myself or people that frequently have late shifts etc.

I don't care about home games as i don't go but Friday or Saturday night away games are by far better than a Sunday.

Edited

I agree, I work an early shift on a Friday, then can get to the game on the night. Sundays would be a pain requesting every other week off,

Wasn't too keen when we decided to switch to Fridays but now we have i certainly prefer them. To try and blame the 10500 against Crusaders on it being a Friday is somewhat comical when it is down to poor form and people deciding to stay away.
The reserving of the East stand could well have an impact on the attendances but still hard to say till we put a run together and start looking like a decent team.

I suspect the moderators prefer Sundays as they don't have to spend all weekend trying to bring order to anarchy on here. All very Zen this week

Fridays suit me now, but that will change in Sept which is when I shall voting for Sundays

Fridays all the way for me. It combines rugby with a night out - perfect.

Defo wouldnt have a pass if it was a Sunday let alone a drink.

If i worked days then Fridays are ideal...was on 2 shifts and had to use hols but no hardship....now going onto 3 shifts so sundays are miles better.

I always preferred Sundays. It was the day we played. It's just the way it was. Since we've all but permanently moved to Fridays I quite like the fact that the rest of the weekend is now free for other things.

It seems that the benefits of Friday nights out weigh the convenience of Sunday afternoons. Financially (corporate entertainment) Fridays are better for example. Since I work in Hessle square but live on the other side of town Friday nights are good for me as I can go straight to the KC from work.

Still it would be nice to have some home games on Saturday or Sunday, if only to have a change.

When we first moved to fridays i was definatly against it but it doesn't really bother me when we play now, i still do much prefare sunday away games tho, saturdays are ok as well but travelling on a friday can be a right pain.

I like a mix
