Indeed, I think that is probably the right answer, but let's be honest, if we were 6 points clear at the top of SL and ripping teams a new bum hole every week then it wouldn't matter if we played at 8am on a Tuesday morning.

| Quote ="Standee"the reduction in crowds isn't anything to do with the day the game is played, it's hte product on the pitch and the cost of attendance.
You say have games on a Sunday, corporates don't like that, it's better for them to have ameeting late Friday afternoon and then go on to the KC for a meal and an evening of Rugby.
You make reference to a hog roast, outside bars etc, but you don't factor in the cost of doing such things, you may put 1 or 2 thousand on the gate, but at what cost.
IF the product on the field gets sorted out then the attendance will recover, I've chosen a number of times not to leave work early and get myself to Hull (from Birmingham), simply because I know I wont be entertained, if I felt it was worth my while then I would start work (or finish) and hour earlier from Monday to Thursday and be perfectly able to leave work at 3pm to get to Hull for 6:30pm, as it is, I'd rather work until 4pm on Friday and have Monday off work, giving me a 3 day weekend every other week.'"
Hog Roast etc. Cost = Sod all. You get a company to provide it at a cost to them. They make the gains from sales. Failing that a small investment in equipment will get rewards over the long term. I bet the cost would be less than that of a pub singer on the pitch.
As far as product on the field I am with you. I can. Re schedule my working week, but refuse while we are poor. Equally the argument for saying crowds are bigger on Fridays is negated with that theory.
As for corporates well........... We seem to throw this argument out there but other sports don't have that argument and I am not just talking Premiership football. Cricket, RU for example. For me that's a dead excuse. Or is it just a Hull/ RL thing?

Thats the case for Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.
THe Quins game for the last few seasons has been used to havea shed load of school kids in on a freebie. No reason why this couldn't be done for eh Les Cats and Crusaders games as well. Afternoons would suit this for the kids?

| Club should let the fans decide, a vote, the only fair way, it was moved (despite what rool spouted) without consultation to the fans, i know a lot of people who no longer can go since the switch, but agrre with Standee product on the pitch that matters, what ever time games where played we should be packing em in.

| plenty of people dont work 9 to 5 jobs any more! shifts workers, shop workers etc. So plenty cant make sundays like some cant make fridays! also if we become as good as we hope and challenging we'll be on sky miles more! wire have played on their traditional sunday games 5 out of 10 SL games this year! and will prob lose more! better to say friday and have minimal change! if people say they cant make friday games they still cant get pass cos of amount of lost games so will go to home games when their schedule allows! same as now! Sky messes it up for people but that aint gonna change! stupid argument really!!

| The fairest way is to have a proper fan-vote, not just Rule asking 5 mates or whatever the last survey consisted of.
make it a straight vote between Fridays, Sunday's or a mixture of both.

It's a business, not a democracy.
Hull FC decided to play on Friday because it makes more money - its proven that Fridays attract bigger crowds, go look at the SLStats site, not just for us but other teams as well - simples.

| The pro-Sunday camp have had three chances this season to show how popular it is and all three games have had disappointing attendances. The Huddersfield and Harlequins games had far fewer there than the corresponding games last season both played on Fridays.

You only need to look at last Sunday's attendance, although I guess the pro-Sunday mob will blame it on the BBC or the warm weather.

Glad your pleased mate. Hopefully the extra money the club get from you will make up for what they'll lose from me.

| Personally happy with this decision because for me it means sky game on Fri & Sat with a game to watch on a Sunday (when at home). I would be keen to see the figures that Adam Pearson based his decision on simply because it would be interesting to know why passholders who do not subscribe to the grapevine have not had the chance to vote. Not everyone has access to the internet and I think it would have been more prudent to have waited until the questionaire had been sent out with pass renewal forms giving more people a chance to vote. Also disagree with his comments on the reason for the drop in gate receipts, this for me is more to do with the performances we have had to endure. I also think that the East Stand needs to be made unreserved again to liven up the atmosphere, add that to a new coach , better on field performances and he may be going in the right direction.

Irrefutable evidence of a cover-up there.
Seriously - do you really think that counting responses on this board is any kind of indicator as to the results of the survey?

Of course it is....How many people do you think fill in a survey ? or actually go on the website ? Or receive the grapevine ?
I will tell you like this board a very small minority of the faithful.

I wonder if the results of the survey will ever be published?
If they are not then I think that would be suspicious.

There will have been a couple of hundred responses at the most!
