Quote ="Bradshaw Bellringer"I don't want to hijack this thread into a discussion of 'Game On.'
However, anyone who read the Chairman's piece for Halifax v Leigh would have read, "your Board wanted to try a series of Friday games in the second half of the season to gauge supporters' liking for it. Next season, we anticipate that it will be easier to sell corporate packages in the new facilities on a Friday, but of course our regular supporters are the 'bread and butter' of the Club, so tell us which day you prefer."
It is true that the Club also wanted to establish our 'home fixture day' as Friday before the play-offs start, so that we can't be overruled when specifying Friday for non-televised play-off matches, which we would do to avoid a Sunday to Thursday turn round, which gives a part time team little recovery opportunity.
Clearly, the regulars on this Board prefer Sunday, but last Sunday how many would have preferred Giants v Cas or (God forbid) Bulls v someone else. And how many prefer the atmosphere under lights :?:'"
Nothing like a great game under lights. However it doesn't get dark until about half ten through July so that doesn'y quite work.
The point of the poll was to establish when the fans want to watch their rugby rather than sponsors. The results would appear fairly conclusive.
On a personal level I would prefer friday night if I lived in Fax. Cracking way to end the working week, then a few pints afterwards and a kebab from Get Stuffed - perfect! Unfortunately I have a 130 mile round trip for every home game which puts me in the same boat as most away fans
