| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"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.'"
Hence the last sentence in my post.
My preference for Sundays is purely down to personal circumstances, and judging by the many threads we've had on the subject the same is true for just about everyone - regardless of which day is preferred. I wouldn't advocate a move to all Sunday games as there are people who struggle with that day also. The mix of Fridays and Sundays seems the 'fairest' option but I appreciate that this caused issues with the corporate market.
My big problem with this all along was the ham-fisted way it was introduced and the baloney reason given. If there had been advanced warning and an honest explanation I reckon a lot of the heat and light could have been avoided.

| Quote Hazzer="Hazzer"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.'"
We get the Sky money regardless of which day we play our games.

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.'"
Well said !
You can't please everyone all of the time but the higher attendance on Fridays speak for themselves.

| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"I love Friday night games. Makes the day fly by at work on Friday and you get the weekend back to spend with your family instead of having to arrange the whole day round the game on Sunday.'"
Exactly the same for me. Much prefer having the whole weekend free. Its a pain when organising a night out with work etc as they tend to be Friday nights but I prefer night games anyway.

| Friday night games are so much better, they leave the rest of the weekend free and it certainly hasn't hurt the crowds.

So because people bought a pass it makes them happy with Friday games ? Its the passion for the club and game which sells passes and not what day we play on.
I know lots of pass holders who are unhappy with Friday games and would rather go back to Sundays.

| Actually, a Tuesday afternoon would be good for me. Either before or after Countdown.

| I'm lucky that I have some 'flexibility' at work on a Friday and am just about close enough to get to the games. I did fail to make one a couple of years back due to crappy traffic, but we got hammered by Saints anyway. A mix would be fairer but like others have said I doubt there is any way the club will go back regardless of whether they pretend to take the fans p.o.v. on it.
