The club have only said that an overwhelming majority of the [isurvey results[/i are in favour of Sundays. They've made no claims whatsoever regarding the views of the majority of the fanbase.

How do you know how many people are signed up for The Grapevine BTW?

I find it impossible to believe there was an overwhelming vote in favour of Sundays.

I would like to know how many people were eligible to take part in the survey, how many did take part and what were the results. It would surely be sensible to await the closing date of the survey before announcing any decisions.

If AP wants to go back to sunday rugby thats up to him, but he shouln't pretend that the fans' views matter.

They saved money not sending us the invites to the BBQ this year, considering the gates are low I think they could have afforded to send it out to pass-holders tbh.The grapevine is not exclusive to FC fans, I know a couple of dobbins who get it!

I would have preferred Pearson to come out and say he'd decided to change things and move BACK to Sundays as a result of slipping attendances on Fridays rather than include it in the survey at all. ATEOTD Pearson bought the club and therefore decides when we play our fixtures (subject to SKY requirements). It may be that the surveys have come out generally in favour of Sundays which is helpful to him, but he has made a decision to move to Sundays based on his own business case which is his prerogative I guess.

I know of 6 dobbin supporters signed up as they are texting me as I type ....

Totally agree with that!

Good post. If its his decision let him come out and say so rather than pretending its the fans' choice.

Does it really matter? Friday or Sunday, the crowds aren't coming back until Agar's gone.

It matters to those who can't go Friday and those who can't go Sunday.

Local amateur moves to summer rugby as well, 11.30 KO, teams travelling away may have an impact on attendances.

I doubt there's many that can't get to either. 6 on a Thursday is more advantageous to me.

What you believe is up to you. Personally I don't find it so surprising that fans of a sport that tends to like its traditions would vote for the traditional game day, but there you go. Second guessing the British public is generally a fools game.

I've no idea if we'll get details of the survey or not - my guess would be that it will depend largely on the response to the change. It would only be sensible to wait until the closing date of the survey if the outstanding responses would make a significant difference to the result.

How do you know that he's pretending?

I don't. But then I'm not making claims that I do.

Are you familiar with Occam's Razor?
