If you look at the statistic from seasons passed Augusts games are a good indicator, when we played on Sundays they were abysmal dropping below 10,000 on a regular basis whilst although effected they hold up well on Fridays. I was dead against it but have now got used to it and like the weekend free! It won't happen people have voted with their passes! All the best supported clubs play on Fridays!

Hence the last sentence in my post.



My preference for Sundays is purely down to personal circumstances, and judging by the many threads we've had on the subject the same is true for just about everyone - regardless of which day is preferred. I wouldn't advocate a move to all Sunday games as there are people who struggle with that day also. The mix of Fridays and Sundays seems the 'fairest' option but I appreciate that this caused issues with the corporate market.

My big problem with this all along was the ham-fisted way it was introduced and the baloney reason given. If there had been advanced warning and an honest explanation I reckon a lot of the heat and light could have been avoided.

We get the Sky money regardless of which day we play our games.

friday night games are good for the corporate side of things...if there full we will continue to play on fridays...simple as that im afraid....

Well said !
You can't please everyone all of the time but the higher attendance on Fridays speak for themselves.

Exactly the same for me. Much prefer having the whole weekend free. Its a pain when organising a night out with work etc as they tend to be Friday nights but I prefer night games anyway.

Friday night games are so much better, they leave the rest of the weekend free and it certainly hasn't hurt the crowds.

fridays are great for me,travel down from edinburgh friday morning,travel back to edinburgh on saturday morning.

Friday's is not ideal for me either , I would prefer a mixture of Sunday's / Friday's .

So because people bought a pass it makes them happy with Friday games ? Its the passion for the club and game which sells passes and not what day we play on.

I know lots of pass holders who are unhappy with Friday games and would rather go back to Sundays.

I vote for saturdays

Actually, a Tuesday afternoon would be good for me. Either before or after Countdown.

I'm lucky that I have some 'flexibility' at work on a Friday and am just about close enough to get to the games. I did fail to make one a couple of years back due to crappy traffic, but we got hammered by Saints anyway. A mix would be fairer but like others have said I doubt there is any way the club will go back regardless of whether they pretend to take the fans p.o.v. on it.

I prefare fridays, better atmosphere and obviously you have a free weekend with Rugby on fridays. Could be wrong but hasnt the crowd average for home games gone up since it was moved to Fridays compared to sunday games?

It's impossible to say what the attendances would be like for sunday games so the qustion is irrelevant. Whilst we attract excellent crowds for Fridays there's no reason to look to change.

I fully sympathise with people who cannot get to games on a Friday, but two record breaking years of season pass sales following our two worst seasons in a decade speaks volumes.

People have far more things to do on a Sunday (especially in the summer months) than in the past.

Not sure, what about Deal or No Deal...tough one for me Tuesdays, I could do Monday mornings though.

Although I would agree to an extent with your first point, I wold hope you would agree that any right minded person would consider the timing of the games when deciding to commit to a season ticket. For

With regard to your second point, how many do you consider a lot? Because I bet my backside its not the majority. Afterall all the evidence suggests otherwise, eg season pass numbers have gone up dramatically.

For what its worth, Fridays work perfectly for me as I occasionally have to work on Saturdays / Sundays. I have a round trip from 120 miles for home games, Fridays mean I can make every home match.

What? You'd miss Phil and Fern. You clearly haven't thought this through.

same here we (my family) go friday nights but would prefer sunday matches........you cant tell me that hull city in the premier league has'nt helped make this decision !

the away support coming to hull has been for years, i would be surprised if it had gone up since the boulevard days whether it be a friday, saturday or a sunday, its rare to see more than a thousand away fans at the kc unless its leeds, wigan or the bandits from the east and it was like that even on sundays, fridays for me, i like the games under the lights.

Season pass sales would easily have improved for this season regardless of what day we play.

Of course its not the majority but the majority was still there before the change. FWIW either day don't bother me, Ill always be there providing I have funds. I just disagree that just because we have sold a lot of passes doesn't make the majority happy.

I just wish that Mr Rule had looked at the shift calendar I sent him, if he'd planned the fixtures around me then I would be happy, sod you lot

fridays all the way .frees the weekend and would be better for people with kids to do things over the rest of the weekend , might of stopped me getting divorced . but then again a lucky escape

The record pass sales nothing to do with the 2 bad seasons we had and the signing of our new players.
Traval on Fridays for away fans or if you work out of town, is bad.
Sundays a 12 o'clock kick of would be better to.
I.m more in favour of Sundays but get there either day .
