All non televised home games to be on a Sunday next season.

Gutted. IMO Friday nights are a far better atmosphere and leave weekends free. Plus you always have a 5 day turnaround against Leeds, Saints, Wigan away. I'd like to see the percentages - if it is "overwhelming", fair enough. Carvery option is interesting - good idea to try.

I enjoy Friday night rugby and the fall in attendances is not due to us playing on Fridays.

The short turnaround in games against some top sides is a worry.

On the plus side I'll get to see more televised Friday matches rathe than miss them due to being at the KC.

Seems a quick decison given the survey only went out at the end of last week.

2007 was our highest average, 2010 our second highest in sl. www.slstats.org/t9/Hull+FC/ We all know what to do to get the attendences up.

Think I prefer Fridays, but the move to Sunday means I can take wife & child to more games without any difficulty. I disagree that Friday night atmospheres are any better then they were on Sunday's, but I suppose it should be factored in that our 3 year run of Friday rugby has coincided with Agar's legacy of turgid rugby.

Makes sense that Allam wants you to play the day after the football as opposed to the day before

Go on then...enlighten us.

That will save me some days holidays then.....Used to work a 2-shift pattern and had to use a few days hoildays fir fridays but now on a 3-shift pattern and its easier but sundays will do for me nicely.

Nigel Pearson was mincing about all the messing about that happens with the pitch in the hours before home games. They have closed that excuse off now for the most part

sundays are no good for me. Bang goes my season pass.

Fantastic. At long last sense has prevailed. I said on here a few months ago that Sunday was far better commercially just it was never explored. The park in the summer is a big attraction. There is a massive amount of land which can accommodate stalls beer tents and food bars.
The SMC make jack from add ons on a Friday night so they will be pleased. This decision and what AP appears to want to do is make Sundays the family day out. No more do I have to listen to JR saying that we now can all have a family trip to the seaside etc on Sundays. I and clearly many others want a traditional family day at the rugby, except unlike when I was a kid it will be in dry weather and in a decent stadium. We might also get a few away fans to create this mysterious atmosphere that people bleat on about but is lacking. We might also get a sell out derby.

What a great way to start the working week.

Pointless getting passes for us, the lad plays on a Sunday morning and we have to travel all over Yorkshire, his season finishes April/May....

TBH I dont mind the change back to Sundays and that in itself wont make a difference in me renewing my pass. The main issue with me about renewing as with many others is the coaching situation for next season.

If Pearson wants to get the fans back then he needs to bring in a Coach that has the credentials to move us forward on the pitch. This is the biggest area of disappointment for our club and as a fan I am fed up of all the constant excuses since McRae left as to why we fail time and time again to challenge for honours.

My only hope is that Pearson is serious and will listen to the fans as to the reason many have drifted away and holding out on renewing and act to get them back onside.

So far he does seem to be listening and being level headed about it all not just knee jerking.

As an adult with no small children, I much prefer Friday nights. Saying that I fully understand the reasoning anyone with younger children prefers Sundays and we may get more away support on Sundays.

Is the survey closed now then?

So far then, the conditioner has gone and a switch back to Sundays, these are big changes. He must know by now a change of coach will add a couple of thousand to the gate! Will he do it this year? I don't think he will, time is running out for a change this year.

Shame he hasn't changed the fricking coach as quick as the game day!

Fridays or Sundays don`t make a lot of difference to me, I think Mr Pearson has bigger issues to deal with if he wants the crowds to increase, a new coach and a couple of quality signings would re-invigorate those supporters who have strayed away, the next couple of months will determine whether Pearson is going to get this right or not, if he gets it right then crowds will definitely increase whether its Fridays or Sundays.

I would go Friday or Sunday but Sunday was my preference due to personal circumstances. Plus it means getting the full value from Sky on Friday's.

Yer it always used to p1$$ me off when some tool would shout out the sky games score during our game. Or even worse that useless announcer!

Big mistake in my eyes.

1) I thought Friday nights had better attendances than Sunday/Saturday's over the last 3 seasons?
2) The reason attendances have gone down is the coach/product on the pitch. They rose when we went to Friday nights and while we've had home games on a Friday night they have come back down. I hope he honestly doesn't feel that Friday nights are the cause of our lowering attendances. If so, he's clueless.
3) The majority of teams play their home games on a friday now. This gives them an extra 2 days preparation after their games than us.

I'm a bit gutted tbh, I prefer Friday night games. I take both my children because to me one late night doesn't matter it isn't as if there at school the next day, it then leaves the rest of the wkend free.

Attendances haven't dropped because of Friday night games it because of a number of things mainly the fact were fighting for 8th place instead of 3rd or 4th but also some people simply cannot afford to go at £23 a match.

Problem is you are not going to please everyone whether it is friday or sunday

Easier to get to for me no more slogging through M1 queues at 5pm on a Friday. Would have renewed pass regardless so no big deal. Some will be Friday anyway for Sky.

Excellent news, great way to round off a weekend.

At last someone looking at the whole package, so long as the 'entertainment' is not of the usual standard and the announcer is sorted out. Hopefully it will be all a bit more professional and organised.

As a supporter of a rival team who accompanies her husband to the KC, I have been disappointed by the lack of atmosphere in the last couple of seasons. So many of the crowd gave the impression it was such jard work to support the team more a chore than a pleasure! I'd love to hear the whole crowd shouting and cheering the team.
