Its probably at 6 so kids can go aswell, which right now for me is wrong. It needs to be aQ&A about all the current issues and what they intend to do going forward, not a run around for some kid to get a photo or something signed.

It's a good point but I am not convinced that Agar is a misunderstood master coach though.

Looking logically

Smith + Poching = most successful period (also coinciding with best squad in decades)
Smith + Agar = dull rugby, 10th in the league, gutless performances.

Anyhow it's time for both to go. As if we dont change anything expect the same next year.

Yes it's for fully paid up members only. I expect to see that lady who dyes her hair primrose and blue and shouts like a fish wife.

Anyone that applied had an invite yet.

Any Forum members off to this on Thursday? Would be interested to hear an account of how it pans out.

Not even had a reply suspect it is gonna be a pre selected audience of known friends and well behaved regular happy clappers

Well im no way an happy clapper, i got an invite and will go, BUT if its full of kids im walking straight out. This should be a seriious discussion not a fun time thing.

How do all just remembered my username after about 2 years. I am going to the forum also if anyone wants me to ask any REAL questions. Like wise if this is a slagging match i will be walking however do feel some difficult questions needs asking.

Be nice to know if they'd consider having proper singers and bands before games, rather than the karoke idea.

Just got the same but they corrected it to 27th July see any of you their i will be the dark haired Geordie.

I thought the dark haired Geordie was Geordie

I would like to know why we had no Sunday home games whatsoever this year. I read somewhere, the club saying they had consulted the supporters, which I don't believe for one minute.
We are made to buy our season tickets before the fixtures are released. will the club accept returns, when we find we cannot go to the games with our kids?

Good and fair question.

really sad that fact for the oldy types like me but we have sky to thank for that..there is a sunday match here this weekend but its for the mancs v thugs semi..sky dictate mate its a sad fact..

Guess we'll see the clubs stance on preferred fixture day come tomorrow morning. Think Middle 8's matches live on Sky are on Saturday's so no excuses about short turnarounds due to Sky making us play on Thursday and Friday nights. Think we'll see a mix of Saturday and Sunday fixtures for our remaining four at home this season. Moving forward onto next season, who knows, but the club certainly need to come up with a definite structure and plan to give fans chance to plan for themselves.

Sunday/Thursday/Friday re-schedule didn't effect Cas as league leaders, Hudds as league leaders and Wire as League Leaders.

It's all bollox if you ask me.

Is anyone actually suggesting it has had an effect? All as I can see is a few comments referring to possibly wanting some transparency or consistency with regards to our home match schedules?

I think I know the answer to that, the club want to to reduce the amount of Sunday to Thursday / Friday turnarounds. I think their initial choice was to switch to Fridays, the compromise was to see how Saturdays worked.

If the switch from Sundays is to aide player welfare/fitness/recovery then it is an acceptable change, we may not like it but having the players in top condition has to come first.

Saturday's work well for me, in all honesty.

I might have a look to see what castlefords fixtures have been like for this season.


I've said on here a few weeks ago, the change in fixture to aid player recovery and turnaround times ain't done this year.

Wasn't Geordie a monkey hanger anyway?

It won't have a fundamental impact on the teams fortunes obviously, but could do on player welfare. Surely an extra day off from the Thursday fixtures are a good thing, as long as it doesn't impact on crowd numbers? There will obviously be individual preferences based on what days people can / can't make.

What will be difficult to quantify at this stage is how much of the drop in attendances for Sunday to Saturday games (I presume there has been a drop) is down to the switch, and how much is down to team performances.
