| I'd have every game on a Sunday barring the two televised ones. Friday night away trips are rubbish and Sunday home matches were always something to look forward to over the weekend.

| I was dissapointed when it happened, but I'm used to it now and wouldn't want it to change back (and it's 1 hour 45mins for me to every home game).
2 years on the bounce of record season ticket sales (despite a disasterous 09 season) means theres no going back I'm afraid.

| I love Friday night games. Makes the day fly by at work on Friday and you get the weekend back to spend with your family instead of having to arrange the whole day round the game on Sunday.

Not again.
We have nearly 9,500 season ticket holders presumably happy with Friday night rugby. Attendances are fantastic too. You will never please all of the people all of the time but clearly the vast majority of supporters prefer Friday night rugby.
The four highest supported clubs play their games on Friday nights, by the way.

But don't you think we could get higher attendances with more away support we could get on a Sunday.

You can't prove it one way or the other. All you can say is that we've had 2 diabolical years on the pitch and have a record number of passholders. What do you think the motivation was for us, Leeds, Saints and Wigan to move to Friday nights? Would all of us be deliberately opting for sub-optimal attendances?

Corporate sales.
Another thing to bear in mind is that Friday night games will have a significantly smaller impact on away attendances at Leeds, Saints, and Wigan due to the proximity of other clubs. For them the upside of increased corporate sales came without a significant downside. Not sure the same is true for Hull but I assume that someone has checked the figures and we are better off on balance.

For me it was a killer. I can't make Friday games, period. When we had a mix I could make a decent proportion of home games - enough so that in 2007/2008 I actually bought a pass. In 2008/2009, when we moved to all Fridays, I was one of the handful who returned their passes.
I'd like us to go back to a mix of Friday and Sunday games but I know it isn't going to happen.

There's no contest for me.

I'm not saying that wasn't a motivating factor, but you can't say that the move to Fridays has materially affected our gates adversely either. I don't get the point on Saints/Wigan. Saints have close proximity to Wigan and Warrington and are an hour-ish from the West Yorkshire clubs, getting on for 2 hours from the 2 Hull clubs. Not that different from Hull with close proximity to Rovers an hour-ish to the West Yorkshire clubs and 2 hours to the Wigan/Saints/Warrington.

History suggests not (with a couple of exceptions).
Some examples of Sunday attendances:
2005 (average 10639)
Wakefield 10805
Widnes 9078
Salford 8929
2006 (average 10863)
Wakefield 11860 (first home game of the season)
Wigan 12722
Hudds 10642
Salford 10172
2007 (average 14606 with 2 derbies)
Leeds 14256
Hudds 12094
Salford 13338
We've generally played the "big" non derby games on a Friday anyway.

| If we went back to Sundays we'd sell out every week, we did last time and it's not like our attendences are on the up.

| Sky have a gap on Friday night.
Sky money more then compensates the few 100 that come off attendances.
That's the reason its a friday, its very simple.
