| I’m flexible on whether it’s Friday, Saturday or Sunday (prefer Friday though)
But surely Friday is the best for player welfare. That means worst case scenario you have a 6 day turn around from your home games. If we play a home game on a Saturday/Sunday and then get scheduled to play on sky the following Thursday the club will complain about player welfare. we’ll also complain the likes of St Helens/Leeds get a 6 day turn around to our 4 day but isn’t that because we’ve scheduled our games to be later in the week.
Also less time for players to recover which equals more injuries.
In an ideal world we should play home games Thursday night and then we’ll always have at least a 7 day turn around after home games. But that would never work

I'm not sure the turn around makes much difference either way, even if we played Friday night we could still have an away match on the previous Sunday.
Saturdays don't work for me though so Ill pay on the day when I can rather than getting a pass

In July we play 2 games at home and 2 away
In August we have 2 at home with only 1 away game.
The last game of June and the first game in September are also at home.'"
We don’t have a home fixture scheduled between 4th May and 24th June?
7 weeks without a home game is crazy.

| No pass for me as im only able to make 4 home games, seems a bit of a kick in the teeth after supporting the club through the pamedemic, for Adams sake I hope families/kids pass sales are a hit seeing that's why we have moved match days

We play Warrington at home on 5th June, also two of those weekends are challenge cup weekends, (5th round and quarter finals) so we could in theory have two more home games...but then fans will moan they have to pay to attend as it's not included in their pass

Would you call 4th May - 24th of June 'the main part of summer'?

| The reaction on social media to fixtures shows it's impossible to suit everyone, seeing people say 'I work Sundays so can't go' but then others work Friday nights.
Personally I'm disappointed so many away games are on a Thursday and Friday, love away game atmospheres but it's pretty much impossible for me to get anywhere further than Cas without taking time off.

No! And I never said it was.
However, the weather is usually pretty decent in those months and to go 7 weeks without a home game must stretch the finances and is one of the biggest negatives of playing at the stadium in my book.

Will we be able to play at the stadium if drawn at home in the cup on those dates?

| Quote: davey41 "No! And I never said it was.'" The person I initially replied to claimed they are cancelling their pass because we have no home fixtures in the main part of the summer, which is incorrect.

| The biggest mistake we made as a game was to let clubs vary our traditional game day as we did year's ago now clubs pick and choose. That let the genie out of the bottle and try as they may clubs will now always have an issue when they change back again to another day. In the old days (it what us told folks say) Rugby was invariably on a Sunday and everyone accepted that because they knew nothing different. But all that changed and now we are as well sadly totally a hostage to the TV and their schedules without which we would not survive as a game. the ideal scenario back at the start of Super League would have been TV games as scheduled with all other games on a Sunday (or Friday) but all on the same day.

We also lost what was in my eyes a good Saturday teatime slot to Football and Football have started to muscle in on our Friday night slot too. Means that even in the heartlands the TVs in Pubs show Football not SL.
