So your singular view speaks for all corporates? People who cycle tend to do their events/rides in the morning on a Sunday or indeed whatever day, your avg serious Sunday cyclist is likely to be a corporate/above avg earner, is your avg runner?

The families that don't attend in as great a number can't often afford both in any case so your point is moot, also a choice between a cold Thurs/Fri in darkness (for much of the season) on a school night and/or following a heavy school/work week rushing to get dinner sorted etc or a game day that can be 10-15C warmer, in the day and far less pressed time wise is far more conducive for families and also is far more likely to encourage away fans to travel in greater numbers.

Not polling the fans and indeed other clubs seems to me to be lacking in doing everything to find out what is best for the majority/increase numbers. Currently even on the back of two great seasons the numbers are barely above the 2012 season which followed the Agar years, so frankly the Friday 'experiment' is simply not working.

Serious question, how do you manage to walk with that giant chip on your shoulder??

I never once suggested that my views were the views of everyone, please show me where I did. I was simply offering a personal view on why I prefer Friday evenings.

I don't have a problem, I countered what Karen said with why i think Fridays are not as good for the club, this IS an open forum, though at times most would rather not see it that way. You can't say anything without being attacked like you have by saying "what is your problem" and accused of having a chip on my shoulder by karen for simply discussing matters!

What is YOUR problem would be more precise given how you've just put forward an argument for Fridays yet you have a problem with me putting forward mine?
Yet more typical reaction from those that don't like someone with a viewpoint alternate to theirs!

I know I'm not a Hull fan but I don't think your attendances will be all that different whether you played Friday night or Sunday as there are people who have a preference for either with us been in the championship last season we played Sunday every week which meant every weekend was taken up whereas Friday games now and then frees up the weekend I personally think the atmosphere can be better for night games

Of course its everyone else that has a problem but you.

I asked what your problem was as you had clearly taken Karens personal view as though it was a sweeping statement for all Corporates even though it is clear from Karens post it is her personal view with not even the slightest hint of anything more. That reason alone was why I asked what your problem is!!

Me asking what your problem is has nothing what so ever to do with your viewpoint which you are entitled to the same as Karen and everyone else. I offered my viewpoint on Friday games nothing more. Please show me where I have said I have an issue your viewpoint for Friday nights!!

As for your comment 'Yet more typical reaction from those that don't like someone with a viewpoint alternate to theirs!' that's hilarious quite frankly coming from you as I would say without doubt that is your 'MO'.

you're making a mountain out of a molehill, Karen clearly said if she was a business man, then started to say why in her eyes as a businessman/corporate Fridays would be better. I accept her viewpoint but how can it be reflective of all hence why I brought it up.
Yet the way it's worded is if that IS how all think, also the running aspect.
Again, you're making a bigger deal out of this because you don't agree with my viewpoint, others have said they'd prefer Sundays, lots in fact. I simply put across why I think Sundays are better for families and that Karen's singular viewpoint does not represent everyone from the corporate side.

You come wading in saying I have a problem, Karen wading in saying I have a chip on my shoulder when all I've done is politely countered what has being said using reasoning and examples.

But, as You’ve just proven (again), you do have a problem and you do have a chip on your shoulder, I wish you could find something to make you happy!

Its got nothing to do with your viewpoint at all so don't assume that to be the case. You have taken what Karen has posted as though she was speaking for the masses which its clear she wasn't hence 'If I was a businessman etc' then followed that with a clear personal view. Its not that difficult to grasp.

I haven't come wading it all I simply asked what your problem is to have come up with your assumption on Karens post being that of a spokesperson for the corporates!

As I have already put in a previous reply to you I have no problem with your viewpoint whatsoever.

I never said it did!!!! I was simply suggesting a possible reason why Fridays may be better for the club on a corporate level!!

Some more data points..
I live out of town with kids (albeit older now). Fridays are way better for us than Sundays. Friday nights may mean a late night but a) there's no school/work the next day and b) the weekend is completely freed up. When our kids were younger this was a far better option as you could fit in rugby and had 2 full days to do things like walking in the Dales, visiting family, going to the seaside etc. Sundays as an out of towner are poor options for us. Need to leave around 1pm, and back around 7pm with school/work next day. I went to a recent membership meeting where they discussed preferences for matchdays, and they said that every time they ask, whether as part of a survey or focus groups, it's 50/50. Away support in the round is immaterial as travelling support to Hull is poor irrespective. I don't really have an opinion on corporate sponsorship preference but tend to agree with Karen. From a playing perspective you'd be bonkers to invite short turnaround disadvantages of Sunday to Friday when the likes of Wigan, Saints and Leeds all play home games on Fridays as default and there's the Thursday aspect to factor in.
