If we changed our home games to all Friday's i'd be able to attend every one...

But even though it means i miss the odd one i still much prefer to attend games on a Sunday thats the true R.L. day for me...

I wish sky would also give more thought to the fans when arranging these Friday night games with regards to us travelling after work...

Sunday's for me. The proper RL day.

I enjoy watching the Friday night game, then the Saturday night game and then when it comes to Sunday, at least I've still got something to look forward to rather than having a boring day and watching the clock count down to the crap that is Monday morning.

Amen....

At the first fans forum at Wigan Ian Lenagan had a vote on which day the Wigan fans would prefer for their home games.
The vast majority (around 80%) went for Friday (I preferred Sunday) so Sunday it is.

You see Paul Wigan is a democracy not a dictatorship.



Maybe you should try that at Warrington.

I hate Friday night non-TV games.

It is meant to be summer rugby, and playing on a Friday night, it is usually cold by the 2nd half even if it has been a lovely day.

You can't beat having a sunny day, wearing t-shirt and shorts and having a few beers outside the pub.

I also subscribe to Sky, so get my moneys worth being able to see two games live, and then go watching the Wire on Sunday.

Sunday RL matches didn't become a 'tradition' until about the 60s and 70s anyway.

Whatever happened to Midweek matches? Last one I remember was a rearranged Hull-Wigan match on a Tuesday(?) night?

FWIW, I have often thought what PY said regarding Sky's vieweing figures. If there are three non-televised matches on on a Friday night, that's circa 20-30k that aren't watching the televised match that normally would. That said, I have spoken to people as far out as Belfast, Norwich and Glasgow who tune into RL on Sky, so if there are fewer fans from the heartlands available to watch the televised matches, that can only be a plus if viewing figures are up. Moreover, how many people watch their own club on Sky, either at home or down their local pub? I'd say a suprisingly high number.

midweek matches were tried in 1999 and if you recall whoever was playing their 3rd game in a week either performed really badly, or was beaten, with a bigger sqaud(a team) and lower intensity, it was possible pre super league, in 99 and more so now, just too much of a demand on a player.

The problem with Friday is that it's too much rushing about after work. If I fancy a few beers before the game I have to take time off work which is a pain and I presume it's the same for others.

Also, for those of us who are married or co-habiting, no RL on Sundays usually means having to do DIY or be dragged round retail parks by the other half when I would rather spend my Sabbath in the pub and watching RL.

Sunday 3pm all the way.

I can;t remember being as cold in years as standing watching that.

Wakey away last year was colder and wetter.
