I'm really pleased, I prefer Fridays it allows me to spend more time at the weekend with my family. My Children come to rugby and one late night a week when they have no school the next day doesn't do them any harm at all.

I think people missed an important point here

Alcohol and the players have ruined our last 2 seasons !!!!

Playing Friday allowed many of them to have 4-5 pints after the game Friday , then binge Saturday and even Sundays
Monday and Tues training is then at a terribly low intensity and only gets going Weds and then they take it easy Thurs.

Am I cynical ? we are talking about mostly working class lads aged 18 -28 , what are you doing yourself or what did you do yourself at this age ?

Fizzy coke is also out of your system after 48 hours.

Just a thought , if we played on a Sunday afternoon where can you go on the on a Monday tea time ??

So the club have put a request in to the league for Friday fixtures.

Shame they refused to make a special request for our first ever home game there. (remember that non banwaggoners?)

You have to be taking the pi$$? Imagine the flack Agar would get if he used Friday nights as his excuse for the last 2 lame seasons. So to recap, every team that plays their home games on a Friday night would suffer due to the players having more of the weekend to drink? Now i've read some $hit on this board over the years, but that has just topped the mark!

Been along there a fair bit recently and I've yet to see one person working along that stretch.

10 points to Tarquin for possibly the most tenuous link for poor performance.

A FRIDAY NIGHT!

Brilliant.

I think the majority of the drinkers have been binned..
You can go on the lash any day or night of the week

I like the firday nights but i think the club could have made it fairer to those who cannot for whatever reason make friday nights.
Also it must have some effect on away support, the likes of Wigan/Saints/Warrington etc its a fair old haul for them to make 8pm at times.

May have been beneficial to play the Yorkshire teams on Fridays and the lancashire etc on a sat/sun

What has ruined our last 2 seasons has been, in the main, having no decent half backs playing for us. I'd take a ed up half back who knew what he was doing in that position over the sober ones who have been either injured or just shiite.

Good news for me. Sorry for those who it doesn't suit though. The predicted drop in attendances doesn't seem to have happened either.

TBF only one or two posters predicted any significant drop in attendances. Although it might be interesting to see what the impact on attendance by away fans has been.

probably only brought 500-600 all together added up in the last 3 seasons, including sundays so i wouldn't take them into account

I genuinely feel for you. Let's just hope they play well enough next year to appear on more of Sky's saturday fixtures so you can get to some more home games.
