Quote ="gutterfax" We have Castleford and the dirty French to come on Fridays...let's see what gates we get for those games before we trot out the anual "I prefer Sat/sunday" arguments. Castlefords average for London is 3,500 odd....the snail munchers 2,864. If we can get close to these figures in April, then I think that we may see the club stick with Fridays until the "summer" months when the other codes have finished.'"
All of which suggests a clear, thought out strategy to put games on a Friday when travelling fans are less prevalent (focused on attacking a local market) whilst keeping clubs with a large travelling support (or a brand that attracts local league casuals) like Leeds/Wire/the Hull clubs/Wigan/Saints on Saturday or Sunday. Whether we think it's right or wrong, at least it's coherent for once.
