Does anyone else think this game should or could be changed to Friday night. Same weekend as Magic Weekend so not sure if numbers would be down. Also if anyone travelling from afar for the magic weekend could possibly take in our game Friday night as well. We play Friday night week before as well.

For me crack on with Sunday not interested in Magic Weekend or SL unless we get back in.

Magic weekend is for Superleague teams which we aren’t so it shouldn’t affect anything regards Trinity.

I agree I would move it too.

Can't see our crowd being effected in the slightest by Magic Weekend. The game v Widnes should be a bigger draw to the fans of both our clubs and could easily fill our place.

Nothing magic about a weekend at Elland Road. The concept has gone way past it's sell by date in my opinion

Even though we're not in SL, plenty of Trin fans will be attending.
In the circumstances, Friday night would be better.

But it will draw crowds being conveniently located in west Yorkshire for surrounding towns and cities.for me Friday would be logical

Keep it on the Sunday, no need to change day

Plenty? Give over.



I've attended all the weekends Wakefield have participated in but have zero interest in paying to watch other clubs only. Record them all and watch them at home.

Why do we need to change it?
If posters want to go and watch Magic at Elland Rd, that's their look out.

I know it's not popular with some people but think Friday night's will come back once we are back up. Matt's already alluded to this.

Agree should read so called Wakefield fans

That's the SL issue for me, this season so far has been great for fixtures only one move so far and that's an earlier kick off at Barrow. Personally I am not a fan of Fridays and even less when sky start fixture meddling.

I cannot see any reason to move the Widnes clash due to it conflicting with Magic at Elland Road. SL don't give a hoot about the Championship. I am pretty sure if Wakey or Widnes fans went to Ella d Road it would be small numbers, on the other hand we could get a bumper crowd on a Sunday with Widnes travelling in numbers as we did over there. A Friday night game would reduce away support and impact the atmosphere in my opinion

I prefer our Sunday games, but don't mind Friday evenings...there's something a bit special about watching the game under floodlights. My biggest concerns about moving it would be the effect on the Widnes players who may have work commitments to consider, and the reduction in Widnes' travelling support because Friday and the M62 is hell!

For the last 16 years of Magic Weekend no fixtures outside of SL have been re-arranged to accommodate it, why would anyone think that this year should be any different?

What a shame that would be.

We released our fixtures about a month after Magic was announced, why would we change it now?

Sunday games are fantastic.

The amount of young fans in the stands on a warm sunny afternoon I’m sure is contributing to our crowds going well.

I would absolutely love us to stay with Sunday rugby. Being a parent to a child who’s usually in bed by 8:30pm Friday night games are a poor option.

The game will not be swapped to Friday and rightly so . The players have been given 4 days off after the friday game week before i believe so would not have time to prepare . However on that Sunday 11th august there is a charity cricket match on behalf of Matty Ashurts testimonial berween a Trinity select x1 and Wakefield Thornes x1 at Wakefield thornes ground , field lane , Thornes wf2 9ry . Family day out , starting 1.30pm . Further details to follow but please make a note in diary . Come watch your heroes past and present in a different format .

They a bit too rough around the edges for you?

Considering it was the only away day I’ve been on where they were throwing bricks at a bus with kids on, plus when in SL their fans tried fighting at pretty much every away ground, I’d say it was more than that. Just a club full of knobs I wouldn’t miss if they went bust.

It's a Cheshire thing, them and Warrington are probably the worst fans for it, there is an element of their youth following (I won't use the word fan) from both those clubs, that just love to go a bit too far. I also remember the last time they came to Wakey in SL and they were fighting with themselves at one point
