Better atmosphere, higher attendance than the last 2 home games and it just looks better under lights.

I'd always wanted Sundays back, but I do like the odd Friday, a mix off the two would be nice.

Me too - looked fuller than previous games this season and by a greater margin than announced. Disappointing gate IMO.

Think the quality of opposition will have had more to do with the higher attendance than it been on a Friday night.

Bradford, really?

Compared to Widnes and Wakefield yes

Don't see it. Wakey brought more fans too.

Sunday personally for me everytime, however each to their own and bring on the derby - where there will be no issues with the atmosphere

I questioned the validity of the announced gates on a few occasions last year, as I felt a few games had 'inflated' figures announced. Whether they were just counting season ticket and corporate ticket holders who weren't turning up, or just downright lying I don't know. But I definately think a couple of games last year had <10K in the ground and still 10/11K was announced.

As for last nights crowd I was disapointed. I can understand that some will have been put off by our injury news, and some will be saving for the more attactive games against Rovers, Wigan, Hudds and Leeds to come...but we are playing well, playing a much more exciting brand of rugby, and last nights game was end to end stuff (if a little error prone from both sides at times) and deserved a bigger crowd.

Friday night every week for me.

Always seems a bit flat on a Sunday afternoon. Under the lights, every game feels like a big game.

Under Pearson and Gentle every game is made to feel like a big game, fridays for me every time...

Same here Fridays for me always feels better with the flood lights on .
South stand was fuller than normal too .

I really don't mind, Fridays do mean I miss the Sky game though.

The West Stand seemed fuller towards the North stand than usual too, it seems to be the East stand that has lost its appeal.

it feels like they took Chav Corner out, and the fans have never been back since.

on another note, anyone else think it is strange they haven't opened the West Upper for the derby yet? Rovers have sold out the North stand, and you'd have thought we'd have given them the West Upper to sell by now?

I haven't got too much of a preference. I do like the odd night game to mix it up, but I'm enjoying the change of Sundays in the day this season.

Atmosphere will increase with results, same with attendances.

fridays every time. i get so giddy at work on a friday looking forward to a home game. quick wash n change, in pub to meet dad n brother. no waiting around like you do on a sunday once you get up.

It took Rovers longer than normal to sell out the North Stand so i dont think that there will be much interest in the West Upper. We still had junior swaps available 4 days after they were made available which is unheard of.

Think lower attendances this season have little to do with the fact we are now playing on a Sunday and more to do with simple economics and financial constraints. Also I dont think the hysteria caused by some MP's helped over the fuel as some people are worried they'll have no fuel

so are staying at home unless a journey is important.

Think if we stay above a 10K average this season we will have done well TBF taking all things into account away from the club. As for the club they can only do what they are doing and continue to improve and hoepfully start to tempt the old season pass fans and walk up fans back that had lost patience under the old regime.
It won't happen overnight and will take time to increase as we had all been promised so much for the last 6-7 years and got let down time and again with nothing but the same old tripe. With this and money for secondary spends being in short supply it will take more than 10 rounds or so to have any affect.

As for Fridays or Sundays I dont mind but would prefer a mix.

I think the same. A mix would be good but I enjoy both for different reasons.

Spot on with the atmosphere as well. Its all about what is happening on the pitch that dictates that.

Smell the fear.

Torn between the two myself. I want take my 4yr old son so enjoy sundays, but friday night matches do seem to have better atmosphere ( still crap though).
I think we're very long way off averaging the 14,000 that A/P wanted. Although us winning and city not going up may help

I don't live around Hull any more, but I would be interested to know how much marketing is done for games which are up and coming.

Around west Yorkshire there are a lot of bill board adverts for Leeds, Wakefield and Castleford games.

Would this be something to increase gates?

I prefer Friday night games just because I like floodlit rugby. Makes for a better atmosphere in my opinion.

I'm a traditionalist I'm afraid. 1 game on a Friday, 1 game on a Saturday to satisfy TV contract requirements and all the others on a Sunday afternoon, just like the old days

Sunday's for me I have a 3 year old and a nine month old so prefer the weekend game.
