Looks like we've been given the last match again at the magic weekend .

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

Is that the stadium car park or Walton street?

How is access these days?

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

Cas up first for us. When was the last time we played them in am opener? 2006?

First up is Castleford at home on Sunday 19th February.

Full fixure list out tomorrow morning at 08.30.

We have generally been good starters - we've won eight round one fixtures in the last nine seasons which clearly suggests that the result of the first game isn't the be all and end all.

Yes a big win at Cas which we followed up the following week with another comfortable win at home to Wakey.

Wheels came off then and a poor run including a home defeat in the snow to Harlequins and a 0-46 hammering by Saints at the KC saw John Kear getting the sack.

*John Kear

Cheers for that, Bill Dalton

Think Danny Sculthorpe laid on a try for Cas with a chip kick that game

Did anyone get the survey for match days?

Or was it one of these where only a special few were chosen?

No point in doing a survey as opinion is split. The club will never please everyone (or even a largish majority) with the days they choose to play home games.

They want a Hull fair night atmosphere in that naff food area so they can sell more food and burgers to the East hull fats
Rumour is a ferris wheel was going up there but they couldnt find seats big enough for the generous sized HKR fan and another proposal that it could be used by Hudge and his investors to keep a birds eye view on all his development land around the ground was also shelved.
A more modest ghost train will now be proposed

The club said they did a survey, i don't recall one or know anyone who was asked

I've no problem with the club changing to weekends, not ideal for me, but Id rather them just come out and say they are moving to Saturday and Sundays instead of passing off a survey most fans knew nothing of!
