| Sundays have not boosted the attendances as hoped, but could be down to economy, weather etc. A decline in away fans but that could be this seasons pricing policy for the North Stand
Fridays are better IMO, under the lights seems to create a better atmosphere, means you get the weekend free to spend with the family, few bevvies after the game without having to worry about work (won't apply to all of course). Accept that it may affect some younger fans, but it's not a school day afterwards and still seems to be a similar amount of kids when we've been on Sky.
We had a poll under Kath & Rule which no one seemed to know had happened which led to the switch to Fridays. Then under AP a decision was made to switch to Sundays before most of us had a chance to vote.
Don't think a mix of both would work but I suppose dependent on how often you are on Sky we sort of get that anyway at the moment.
I have no idea whether anyone at the club would take any notice of what is posted on here but would be interesting to gauge opinion with season passes due on sale in two months time.

| No doubt the club has already decided - AP hinted that FC Voices had been consulted. Maybe someone can confirm.
I'd like to see a mix. Sundays early in the season and Friday nights after Easter.
The club cannot win on this one, though.

| Torn really, I take my kids so Sundays are better for them when they're not tired from school. But I personally prefer Friday nights.

| Another thing to throw into the mix the top 3 supported teams Wigan, Leeds & Saints (think Saints are ahead of us and Wire since stadium move) all play on a Friday night.

| Fridays seemed to have a better atmosphere in the ground. They were also much more convenient for me - they freed up your weekend and were a good way to kick it off.
This season is the first time since I was 14 that I haven't gotten a season ticket. This is due to me, and the people I go with, having pre-existing commitments on weekends meaning that it was not worthwhile in purchasing a season ticket. Instead I have been going to the games that haven't conflicted with my/my friend's schedule or to any away games that haven't been on a Sunday.
I never really understood all the complaints about Friday nights. I live abour 30-35 minutes from Hull. I've been at college and not getting home until around 5pm-ish or just after, and I could make then no problem.
It won't affect me for next season as I'm starting Uni this year and will be living away, so I'll only be able to attend the games towards the back end of the season (and our playoff push ) and I'll be subscribing to FC-Live instead. However, if I had have still been living around here then I would have preferred Fridays (and wouldn't have gotten a Season Ticket if it was Sundays).

| I prefer Friday nights rather then sundays, on Friday nights you seem to get better atmosphere and the sundays has not made the crowd go up.

We weren't consulted, just asked and we answered on behalf of the fans you will never please all of the people all of the time so at the end of the day it really is down to Adam as to what he wants to do, Voices didn't sway any decision because we can't, half of you want Fridays and half of you want Sundays

| Friday nights for me. Absolutely no question. As people have said, the atmosphere is one hundred times better than on a Sunday.

| Sundays, no brainer to be honest. The downturn would have been worse if we had been playing on a Friday in my honest opinion..

Ok, have an opinion, but please back it up.
Fridays for me. Better atmosphere, better chance of attracting corporates, less likely to get moved for sky, games against the better clubs would not have a short turn around and it keeps the week end available.

I have on previous threads and my statement still stands, there are far more reasons/opportunities to have better attendances having Sunday matches than on Fridays

| From my own personal point view, I,d go for fridays but having a mixture say playing yorkshire clubs on fridays & lancashire clubs on sundays to give away fans a chance to get to games could work.Also why not have a voting form on season pass renewal forms?

THe evidence doesn't stack up with your view.
Putting the derbies to one side of all the 15k plus attendances we have had at the KC, very few have been for Sunday games. Halifax in the cup and Bradford in SL, both in our first season at the KC spring to mind. After that I struggle to think of a big gate other than an Friday evening game.
The main thing going against Friday nights is the travel factor for away fans. That being said, Wigan bring a decent number with them for evening games in the recent past. I'd say that there are other factors which put fans off travelling to Hull. Price and the "reputation" issues being the main ones.
Wigan and Leeds consistently get approx 15k of home fans for evenings and it's true that selling corporate seats is easier on Friday evenings.
Finally, as experiences go, it always feels like there is more of a buzz on an evening game rather than a Sunday afternoon.

| Im lucky enough to be able to go to either Fridays or Sundays but much prefer Sundays.
Think it would be a poor decision to ever switch back to Fridays.
Especially at the beginning of the season when the weather was cold, wet and depressing and the rugby usually matched it.
Plus you miss the sky game on TV if you play on a Friday.

| 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 don't have a preference to be honest, it's Saturdays at 6pm I'm not keen on.
Sundays are easier for my elderly father, who has supported Hull for over 60 years. He much prefers turning out on an afternoon rather than a night and has only missed one home game this season due to this.
