| Quote ="BarnetFC"Sundays please. Get to about half the home games now, absolutely no chance of getting to any from London on a Friday without constantly taking days off work. Sky means we get a mixture of both anyway. Agree the atmosphere is better at a night game but for fans who live outside Hull it's much more hassle.'"
I feel your pain. For a while I lived over seas, obviously no chance of getting to games. When I repatriated I lived Berkshire meaning if I wanted to go to a game it was a 500 mile round trip.
But is it reasonable for the club to make a decision for a very small number of fans?

| After todays atmos fridays look the option , it was like a funeral home today with the exceptions of
1. O.mealy's fisty cuffs
2. The ref going on his
3. Moaning at the ref (with good reason I might add)
4. And obviously the trys
I think old faithfull was heard once (when game was won)
10 thousand fans at the game today and we made more noise at caravan park with about 10% of that

| Going to have to be a mix of both Fridays and Sundays. I like Sunday afternoons because I'm used to them and like the whole day being about FC in one way or another. Fridays though free up the whole weekend. The floodlights make all the difference with the atmosphere, it must be something genetically programmed into us all, we like it in the evenings.
As far as I can work out FC Voices weren't consulted as such. There was a small survey done, it was done in part at the 9's, amongst the questions was this very one. Perhaps that was the consultation being referred to. It was being run by the club though.

I know it's school hols and Salford only brough 52 fans but to get less than 11,000 means that for me it's got to be back to Fridays, although not adverse to Sundays up to Easter as an earlier poster wrote.

I think you also have to take into account the fact that the game never flowed, once some momentum was building it was killed for one reason or another. stop start rugby was the reason for the atmosphere yesterday, i feel anyway

| The change to Sundays has not increased the number of season pass sales, increased the home "walk up" support or increased the away support.
Personally I prefer Fridays and I didn't buy a pass this year because of the switch to Sundays.
I think the club thought that we might have had a few Friday night home matches anyway due to being on Sky but this hasn't happened.
I believe AP had his reasons for switching to Sundays and I doubt he will change back now.
Obviously the economy is an issue too and I wonder exactly what scope there is for increasing attendances in the present climate.

| sundays are lame. Atmosphere is ten times better under lights! If our team is half as good as we hope next yr we'll be on sky much more so may as well be fridays so you can plan ahead! if u miss say 1 game due to what ever reason ie holiday,weekend away social event wedding etc which most people do and 2 or three on sky then aint worth getting a pass anyway if you're argument is u cant make friday games! Also the away fans on a sunday has been blown out the water as an argument,its been poor all year!

| Unfortunately due to the current economic down turn its very difficult to try and work out if the switch to Sundays has had any real affect on the attendance or not. It maybe they are up on what the possible attendances may have been for Fridays? We'll never know.
At the end of the day ticket price and product on offer always make the biggest difference. I am sure if the ticket price next season and product on the field with a decent attractive brand of rugby and this will improve numbers.

| Happy with the switch.
The move to Sundays was worth a try but clearly hasn't worked.
Looking forward to more games under the floodlghts.

| Good news if its back to fridays .
The good thing about the new passes if they go with it is people wont be able get kids passes and will have to stump up the cash for an adult pass.

| Absoloutely gutted about going back to fridays, i for one dont get the point that fridays bring a better atmosphere the only way to do that is to get a winning team, ive witnessed some rubbish atmospheres on friday nights.
And as someone mentioned earlier in the thread that leeds,saints and wigan get bigger crowds then us because they play fridays is absoloute rubbish they get bigger crowds because they are more successful.
And yet again i dont think this has been handled well by the club putting a survey out at the 9s tournement isnt exactly covering alot of the fan base, why couldn't they have done some sort of vote at a home game.
In my eyes the only game that should be played on a friday night is the live sky game so everybody can watch that game and boost the tv ratings even more.
But as ever i will try to get to every home game but when im on a day shift on a friday i dont leave spurn point until 7oclock so now i will probably have to use more holidays to make it worth buying a pass.
