| Quote: Legends and Icons "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 booty
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'"
I think you also have to take into account the fact that the game never flowed, once some momentum was building it was killed for one reason or another. stop start rugby was the reason for the atmosphere yesterday, i feel anyway

Then there was knowledge
Now there is only information:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17490.jpg |

| The change to Sundays has not increased the number of season pass sales, increased the home "walk up" support or increased the away support.
Personally I prefer Fridays and I didn't buy a pass this year because of the switch to Sundays.
I think the club thought that we might have had a few Friday night home matches anyway due to being on Sky but this hasn't happened.
I believe AP had his reasons for switching to Sundays and I doubt he will change back now.
Obviously the economy is an issue too and I wonder exactly what scope there is for increasing attendances in the present climate.

| sundays are lame. Atmosphere is ten times better under lights! If our team is half as good as we hope next yr we'll be on sky much more so may as well be fridays so you can plan ahead! if u miss say 1 game due to what ever reason ie holiday,weekend away social event wedding etc which most people do and 2 or three on sky then aint worth getting a pass anyway if you're argument is u cant make friday games! Also the away fans on a sunday has been blown out the water as an argument,its been poor all year!

| Unfortunately due to the current economic down turn its very difficult to try and work out if the switch to Sundays has had any real affect on the attendance or not. It maybe they are up on what the possible attendances may have been for Fridays? We'll never know.
At the end of the day ticket price and product on offer always make the biggest difference. I am sure if the ticket price next season and product on the field with a decent attractive brand of rugby and this will improve numbers.

| Happy with the switch.
The move to Sundays was worth a try but clearly hasn't worked.
Looking forward to more games under the floodlghts.

67329_1392756525.jpg 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 |

| Good news if its back to fridays .
The good thing about the new passes if they go with it is people wont be able get kids passes and will have to stump up the cash for an adult pass.
