| Quote Kosh="Kosh"Corporate sales.
Another thing to bear in mind is that Friday night games will have a significantly smaller impact on away attendances at Leeds, Saints, and Wigan due to the proximity of other clubs. For them the upside of increased corporate sales came without a significant downside. Not sure the same is true for Hull but I assume that someone has checked the figures and we are better off on balance.'"
I'm not saying that wasn't a motivating factor, but you can't say that the move to Fridays has materially affected our gates adversely either. I don't get the point on Saints/Wigan. Saints have close proximity to Wigan and Warrington and are an hour-ish from the West Yorkshire clubs, getting on for 2 hours from the 2 Hull clubs. Not that different from Hull with close proximity to Rovers an hour-ish to the West Yorkshire clubs and 2 hours to the Wigan/Saints/Warrington. |

History suggests not (with a couple of exceptions).
Some examples of Sunday attendances:
2005 (average 10639)
Wakefield 10805
Widnes 9078
Salford 8929
2006 (average 10863)
Wakefield 11860 (first home game of the season)
Wigan 12722
Hudds 10642
Salford 10172
2007 (average 14606 with 2 derbies)
Leeds 14256
Hudds 12094
Salford 13338
We've generally played the "big" non derby games on a Friday anyway. |

Not again.
We have nearly 9,500 season ticket holders presumably happy with Friday night rugby. Attendances are fantastic too. You will never please all of the people all of the time but clearly the vast majority of supporters prefer Friday night rugby.
The four highest supported clubs play their games on Friday nights, by the way.'"
Im not happy with Fri nights as i work shifts and have to book holidays for them and i still buy a pass as im a fan,would much prefer Sundays as then i can keep my Hols.
Couldnt give a toss about the other clubs. |

our crowds have grown to record levels while playing on a friday night, so its clearly not been an issue for the majority
I feel sorry for those who miss out, but the club has to do what is best for the majority

If we went back to Sundays we'd sell out every week, we did last time and it's not like our attendences are on the up.

Sky have a gap on Friday night.
Sky money more then compensates the few 100 that come off attendances.
That's the reason its a friday, its very simple.

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! |
