| I'd like ot go back to all games being played on a Sunday afternoon for every club apart from the two televised games. I used to enjoy away games being a day out and home games being an afternoon out.

Agree, but it will never happen Paul.

| I work Fridays until 8 pm, so I have not been to a home match all season
I will not be going to the KC again until either certain parties leave the club and or we return to a more balanced fixture plan that enables spectators to attend some matches. I would not have minded if they had asked and run a proper survey, they lied and then tried to cover it up up. Upto this season I had missed one home SL match and I could have swapped, taken days off etc to get to a few Friday games but not all 13.
I have been away to cas and I am going to at least another one before the end of the season. I missed it at first and I do miss the friends, but the club are around a £500 a year short from my pocket. Hull Fc get zero off me and that is the way it going to stay, I now enjoy going to Twickenham for the internationals etc.
I did not leave the club it was ripped away from me.

The corporate £1, again.
It leads me consider the "was Sl a good idea" question.

| I really hope Hull switch back to Sunday afternoons for their home games next season. The underhand way they sneaked the change in when the fixtures were announced and many had already bought their passes still leaves a sour taste in the mouth and the board need to be totally open about next seasons plans and not just say pass sales were up we were right.
For me it seems logical for all non televised games to be played on a Sunday afternoon. When Sky first announced their TV plans, there would have been an outcry if they had said a match would be screened on a Sunday afternoon. Clubs would have said no way because attendances would be affected if there was a match on TV at the same time and some might have switched to Friday to avoid the clash. So why change volantarally to Fridays to create a clash with TV coverage. What has changed ?
Plus those who say the atmosphere is better on a Friday seems strange. The odd Friday night game under lights is fine but how can a drizzly cold Friday game be better than a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon game. I know Sundays can have rain as well but 3-15 on a Sunday is usually warmer than 8pm on Friday night.

| The irony is IIRC the games were moved to Friday nights partly to avoid having to be rescheuled due to Sky, yet the three times we're been at home on Sky this season have been Rovers on Good Friday lunch and Warrington and Leeds on Saturdays.

Have we ever had a "rocking atmosphere" on a Sunday afternoon at the KC? Only one I can think of was that game against Bradford that got 19k fans.

I would love them to move the games back to a Sunday with an occasional Friday but it won't happen.
I have hated the Friday night games, by Friday night I'm knackered and just want to flake out at home, the kids are the same. Last Friday I left 10 minutes in the second half because my youngest was absolutely shattered & falling asleep (and not just from the rugby!!).

| Far prefer Sunday games, not least because I can actually get to a few. Last season with a mix of Friday and Sunday games I could get to enough to justify a season pass. This season I've made just one home game (Good Friday) and will probably only make one more.
I understand the reasons behind the change (even if I don't agree with them) but I just wish the club could have come out and admitted them rather than making up all that survey bollox.

They did do a survey but it wasn't the fans that were surveyed
