| Has anyone seen FCs proposal for the match days? Are they going with Saturday and Sunday which screws my weekends up are are we going back to Fridays. I appreciate that Sky come in and screw some dates up for us all but for the first time since 1984 I have cancelled my membership as I want to keep my weekend free so I am hoping that we have proposed Fridays for our matches. What do most people prefer?

I'd prefer Friday nights over Sunday afternoons but I'm not sure what's going to happen next season.
We had a few games last season on Saturday afternoons which I didn't get why as it clashed with other sports more and family time.

| Pass prices are out, but no decision on match days as far as I know. Same as last year, renewed my pass, then they moved to Saturday and Sundays and missed a few games, when fridays I don't miss any

Whatever is best for the club though

| The problem is if they did a poll with current members I'd bet it would be almost 50/50 with those prefering Friday nights to those prefering weekend afternoons. A fair proportion of supporters will be unhappy with the fixture list whatever the club have decided.
I enjoyed the spring/summer afternoon games this year, maybe because we won a few and the weather was good although there was a chance to put on things for families, something not really possible on a Friday night.
I know some people say they are too busy, or working on a Saturday afternoon but football clubs manage to get decent crowds.

I don't think it really matters when we play COYH crowd wise.
Win more games is paramount but if we lose just don't throw the towel in at half time and the attendances will be more or less the same.

| Personally for me I hope that we revert to mainly Friday nights as it leaves the weekends free for family stuff.
The other side of the coin in regards to match days is the corporate. As someone who worked for a company that sponsored various sports over the years it was noticeable that it was easier to get guests to attend sports events midweek than Saturday/Sunday unless they were high profile events.

| weekends no good for me, fridays for me due to work, saturday and sunday daytimes are like weekdays now i guess for most people with work, feel the club turned their back on adult pass holders who stuck with them through the covid seasons for a few extra sales in kids passes for weekends!

| A good few days for the club. A brilliant home kit (one of my favourites of recent years) and a pretty good promotional video for our membership campaign. Having read some of the benefits etc I think the club are making some great strides towards building the connection/communication between the club and the fans again. I do hope that some follow up videos can be released explaining the membership benefits and incentives however.
In terms of match days, i am rather lucky to be pretty flexible in terms of playing either Friday nights or weekend afternoons. I think its tough for the club, there never going to please everyone. The one positive of the weekend afternoon games is that it did feel more like a family orientated event.
I really do hope that sales can be up on previous years. I understand times are tough but the club needs us more than ever during what could be the end of a era for the vast majority of the squad.

Good post. But some will still moan . Sit on the keyboard waiting for us to fail whilst giving nothing to the club. We need people to back FC. Without our input we are in dire trouble.

| As others have said there is no perfect timeslot that suits everyone.
I prefer Sunday afternoons as it means more away fans, warmer weather for the Winter/Spring games and it means the night games under the lights feel special not routine

Disappointed with that, how many times have we been on last now??
As it's work in the morning fans of other clubs head home and everyone drinks less on a Sunday making for a weaker atmosphere. But sounds like this is the final Magic Weekend so might now have this issue to moan about soon!

I think the big difference is that the majority of the football season is through the winter so less likely to impact on family days/weekends away whereas we play in prime family holiday time. It's okay for those where all the family comes, but when it's only part of the family that attends, you're torn between the rugby or going out/away with the family.

Exactly this. My wife and daughter are not interested. My son is now only just getting into it. Fridays gave me the weekend with my family, Saturdays or Sundays and I've got a decision to make, and this year, rugby didn't win many times. No consultation was made across the pass holders IMO, and my pass was renewed prior to them announcing the change in days

| The clubs are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Unlesss there is a clear and demonstrable opinion in either direction then they must do what they think is the best option to take. I'm lucky in that I can accommodate either choice but understand that there will always be differing views.

| Saturday or Sunday 3pm for me, its a nightmare getting to the KC on a Friday night on the M62 from Leeds, which three of us have been doing for a number of years. Last year was great, no stress, clear roads and the return of away fans improving the atmosphere.

Seems as though you are getting your wish.
No Friday night games except those chosen for sky.
Only negative for Saturday games for me is the extra traffic getting through town and parking?
Had started parking in St Stephens and walking through but that is a non starter on a Saturday afternoon.

Interestingly I see our dear neighbours across the river are no longer doing Sunday games and all their home games are to be a Friday night

Been on the list for a parking pass for a few years finally got one last year £150 for the season worth every penny

It doesn't make that much difference to me but I've always preferred the atmosphere under the lights on Friday's.
I don't mind Sunday games but I'm not keen on Saturday afternoons. Apart from Catalans do any other club play regularly on Saturdays?
I see Rovers have done it in reverse.

One of the reasons being that no team has won the Grand Final playing home games on a Sunday afternoon

Behind the South Stand, under the flyover, its a doddle to be honesty. We used to park near the Boulevard Academy but after the railway footbridge was shut it became a bit of a nightmare getting away. Ill keep this pass as long as I have a season ticket
