But you can't actually argue that any more, though, can you, as the huge influx of kiddies which became such a mainstay of the SL Bulls and paved the way for other clubs was actually all done principally on the back of Sunday 6pm kick-offs, wasn't it?!

Anyway, whilst I much prefer the Sun. 6pm slot to anything else for a number of reasons not least the ability to still (a) go out or do whatever for the day AND (b) go out for the evening or settle in front of the TV for the evening.

But I especially note that the 6pm Sunday slot was (presumably) part of the late, great Peter Deakin's marketing strategy and if that was the top slot for him, then there is absolutely no argument from me.

All the previous research into this massively favoured Sunday afternoons.

If we're aiming at an audience made up largely of families it's the only way to go.

I'd have been interested to see what the % would have been if you'd only have been allowed a single vote. How many of the Sunday @ 3 votes are peoples second option?

For mine the club should go back to 6pm at Sunday.

That for mine is when we had some of our biggest crowds.

It was the most popular when the club polled fans in 2006.

I favoured Sundays @ 6pm - brings back the good memories of happier times a few years back

But I'm content with Sundays at 3.00 as a decent second option

The advantage of a 6pm kick off is that you get get the majority of the weekend to do other things, whether it's with the family, in the home or whatever. Then on Sunday evening you get to wrap it all up with a game of Rugby meaning you can go into work frustrated, disappointed and surrounded by Rhinos.

Pah. Is it possible to unpledge?!

What DM said

I've gone for 3pm Sunday

Duckman - I went to Brid on Sunday and got back for the game after some lovely fish and chips, although the Goole Road back to the M62 was awful. So it is possible

Sunday any time for me please, that is if i'm going to get my £45 season ticket

You know it makes sence! TBH the unique bit is key for me, as FA pointed out, that was Peter Deakins idea, and if it was good enough for him....



Ah, but the important question is which chippy? My personal fav is the one in sewerby

Lovely.... mmmm fish n chips....might have to go offline for a bit and go get some.

That goole road back to howden is a pig, which is why it would be more relaxing knowing you've got till 6pm!

I thought the point of going to Rugby was to get out of that?

North Bay Fisheries by the docks

First choice for me & her indoors would be Friday at 8pm. Then I do love a Sunday afternoon (3pm) game. I don't like them on Saturday nights though.

Friday nights would make it virtually impossible for me to get to from Birmingham due to work commitments

If it was to be on a Sunday at 6 or 8.
How would this affect the amount of away fans?

Not unduly I suspect, although 8pm can make it a late arrival home if you are working the next day after a 1 or 2 hour trip after the match

I wouldn't be in favour of 8pm on a Sun, I think that would be a complete disaster!!!

Indeed it would.
Both for home supporters and away ones as I replied to <Guess Who>

Can't do Saturdays so the pledge I just made would be rendered worthless, sod the legalities, I wouldn't be honouring it. Also I want to take my 3 and 1 year old kids so 8pm is an ar£e as well.

My advice is don't bugger about and keep kick off on a sunday at either 3pm or 6pm.

Its a good point, now we're getting people to pledge to turn up I guess we have to stick with this seasons kick off time, can't get people to promise to pay and then change the kick off time.

Sunday 3pm it is....even though I'd still prefer 6pm

I can't see any change coming up any time soon. Why would they? Every time they've canvassed opinion the fans have voted for Sunday by a biggish margin.

The last time it was changed was driven by complaints about last minute moves (for Sky) mostly to Friday nights, so the club decided to move [iall[/i games to Friday night. I took the complaints to be about a different issue than the club did; I assumed the complaints were driven by the fact that games were changed to the Friday (my complaints certainly were), whereas the club obviously took the view that it was the [imoving[/i, and not having a standard day and time for home matches that people were complaining about. However effects of the change were negative and it was reversed. It doesn't seem that the general opinion has changed.

Precisely.

Also factor in that the club are already effectively selling ST's for next year and shuffling around with k.o times would be plainly stupid. It won't happen.

3pm Sunday's it will remain. Rightly.

So if away fans, were going to come over and bring there young kids. It could make it a late return home.

I think 8 would be a bad idea.

Sunday at 6pm would be utopia for me. I work away most of the week and can find it difficult justifying spending Sunday afternoons out too. But a later kick-off would mean I could do almost a full weekend at home and then round it off nicely with a trip to Odsal (and it wouldn't be too late for the kids). Perfect.
