It was never b@llocks back in the day when rugby was played every sunday at the boulevard and teams were intimidated to come to hull!! Love the kc personally but the atmosphere is sh!ite compered to them days mate!!

But 1985 was 26 years ago

FOR ME WE KEEP FRIDAYS KEEPS WEEKEND FREE AND ONE THING THE SMALL SUNDAY CREW FORGET IS THAT IF WE CHANGED TO SUNDAYS AND MOST OTHER TEAMS PLAY FRIDAYS WE ONLY HAVE A FOUR DAY REST PERIOD WHERE OTHER STILL HAVE 6 NOT LOGICAL , PEOPLE WILL THEN MOAN THAT THE PLAYERS LOOK TIRED.

I think that's more to do with what's (not) happening on the pitch; I've been going for 30 years and I have found it harder and harder to get myself motivated to go to the game, never mind actually singing or chanting.

Fridays for me, it leaves the weekend free for me to do what I/we like.

Not bothered which day personaly.Would rather they bombed out this stupid reserved only East Stand idea.

Fridays for me . Leaves the rest of the weekend free .

Just to be consistent I will say the sooner game day is back to Sunday the better. Weekends are c rap when we have been beaten. I only have so much cash to spend so all this talk of it leaving the weekend free to be with family etc is b olloxs as rugby is my choice of leisure with the family as it was for my parents and I can't afford to take family to both every other week. It also does exclude kids from going in a lot of cases school night or not. I also feel Friday nights restrict the match day experience. If done correctly we could generate a great experience utilising the Park and the ground facilities similar to in Australia if we played at 3pm on a sunday. The day could build from mid morning onwards. The SMC would be pleased as additional sales would come in etc. There are massive opportunities which cannot be explored at 7pm on a Friday night.
The players rest argument is b olloxs. If you actually go through the fixtures there is enough variation in the playing dates to show this actually balances out. It was an argument used at the time of the change which does not stand up to scrutiny.
The away support is diminished on a Friday night and also it restricts the home support to a parochial crowd who are simply local at the exclusion of those who have flown the nest as it where.
I appreciate it doesn't work for all, but a mix would be far better as it was thus allowing everyone to be included. I do suspect though that it will stay the same as Jimmy will always fall back on his scientific survey.

friday is better for me. also i wouldn't chamge it back to sunday on the back of the opinion of someone who doesn't go when times are bad. if we do a survey the survey should take into account whether your a true fan or not

Fridays on the dreary cold miserable evenings......

Sundays when the weather perks up a bit.

How many people do you think will be up for getting to West Park at mid morning on a Sunday?

Summer era crowds on Sundays have generally speaking been below that of Friday games. People have far more things to do on a Sunday than, say, twenty years ago.

Personally I'd go anyway regardless of the day but I maintain that Fridays are more popular. The posts on here back that up as does the fact that Wigan and Leeds choose to play on Fridays and I imagine Saints will also do so next season.

I sympathise with people like yourself and Kosh who live away and cannot get to the KC on Fridays but I guess you cannot please everyone all the time.

Sunday please,

Chance of a bigger 'Away fan' attendance, creates more of a 'buzz'.

Always seemed to have a bit more atmosphere as well, or was that because the team were performing better then?

For all Rugby League fans it's simple. Super League is generally broadcast on Friday and Saturday evenings. Being a Rugby League fan, I like to watch these games, preferably live. There is generally no Rugby League broadcast on a Sunday.

Whatever merits playing on a Friday night has, and I agree there are some, it doesn't compensate for having to miss the live game. Especially when all the big mouths around you can't keep the result to themselves.

The last season we played predominantly on a Sunday was 2005 when our average was 10,639 and there were five Sunday attendances below 10,000. The two highest crowds that season were both Friday night games live on Sky.

I don't recall many sides bringing big away followings on a Sunday.

doesn't matter to me now, Charelston has gone so even if we had Sundays back it would never be the same again, nowhere else can compare to the Charlie match day.

There are so many contraditions on this thread its astounding.

Some want it to me more intimidating for the opposition, some want more away fans for the buzz?

Isn't it up to the home fans to create a bit of noise to intimidate the opposition? Please no one mention the bad old days of the Boulevard when the oppistion were effectively attacked with coins / spital.

Leeds and Wigan, who have the highest average attendances have played their games on Fridays for years.

Now Pearson is on board and the corporate sponsorship should get a shot in the arm with his commercial background, they prefer Fridays for taking their client to the games.

If their has to be a compromise, then the Catalans, Quins and Crusaders games could be played on Sunday as their travelling support has the furthest to come.
