None! Other than Murrayfield. Bizarre. Weird.

Where have all the flowers gone?

I'm sure we played Hudds on a Sunday i remember because my mates went i was away...

Two is still rubbish though...

Quite right.

You've lost me. What you on about?

The destruction of a well loved institution.

Pamela Anderson's knockers?

Nope. Still lost me. Is this about next season?

Barge and Barrell lost to a generation.

we've only played one away match on a sunday this year if you don't count our trip to scotland!

This seasons away games - not many played on a Sunday - but if you went to them all, as I was lucky enough to

- you have to count Swinton pre season, and Featherstone in the cup!!!!

Ahh ...... many thnx.

He is alluding to the fact that we have only played 2 games away from home on a Sunday this season:


Hull KR @ Murrayfield and Huddersfield Giants.

Bradford, Saints, Salford, Wakefield and Wigan all Friday evening

Castleford, Catalans, Celtic, Harlequins, Hull FC, Hull KR and Leeds all Saturday.

I think its about the joy of following your team on a sunday, watching the mighty wire against the other SL teams at their magnificent stadia.

Though this season only Huddersfield was actually on a sunday (not counting Murrayfield Magic) and the other 12 were either friday or saturday!!

Cas was on a Sat, on TV.....

Just edited!!!

Wouldn't it be better if we played all the local games on a Friday (home and away) and all the longer distance games on a Sunday (home and away)

The Friday night M62 trip can be a nightmare (although it's not really a problem for me)

it would be nice tbf however sky control the fixtures c/o TV schedules, caN'T believe i agree with you....."nurse i need my medicine"

All none-tv ganes should be on a Sunday afternoon. I'm suprised Sky don't already insist on this as it must affect their viewing figures.

I guess the problem is that some of the smaller clubs do not have their own stadiums and have to play lap-dog to their landlord whose primary interest is football.

wouldnt it be much easier for all the long away games for example Harlequins,Celtics on a saturday like catalans play all their home games on a saturday an then the likes of huddersfield and bradford exctera on a sunday with local games friday just a thought ??

Why? Because it is your preference?

I agree with the view of rogue from a fans POV it would certainly make it easier but I would imagine from a corporate POV Friday Nights are much easier to sell as a club than a sunday night.

Personally I like the fact that we play most of our home games on a Friday night as it provides consistency rather than having the problem of games being moved left right and centre for Sky.

no so that sky have more people watching sky...derrr!

No because, as pointed out by SLIMply it would increase viewing figures on Sky. Thus giving the game better sponsorship leverage as a whole and a better negotiating position with Sky. Sky viewing figures are so small that a fair proportion of say 30k fans attending other games on Friday would see a significent leap in viewing figures.

This would benefit the game as a whole. However it seems that some clubs bow to the beck and call of the corporate client rather than the game's target audience of the family to suit their own self-interest rather than the game and and its fans overall.

Personally I prefer Sunday as it allows me to watch the Sky game which is the sole reason why I pay a hefty chunk of cash each month as a Sky subscription. Plus not everybody has the perk of the likes of teachers where you finish work at quarter to three on a Friday (when they're not on holiday) allowing them to make their way leisurely to the game.

And a lot of people work shifts and weekends so you can't please all the people all the time.

Of course clubs bow to the corporate side of things, at the end of the day they are businesses and need the money that is brought in by that.

Clubs should have the freedom to pick to play games on the day they feel will bring in the most profit for them be that via ticket sales or corporate packages. Obviously they have to be flexible to what sky want when it comes to showing games but other than that I think it is fair the clubs are left to do what they feel works best for them.

FWIW i think Wire should play their home games every friday night too, kick off at 8pm.

First its good for consistency, second it is indeed easier to sell and thirdly night games always have a good atmosphere.

I have been to all the Sunday games this season and to be quite frank the atmosphere has been terrible.
