Without going over old ground, the unfortunate reason for Fridays is that they get more corporate revenue vs gate revenue. Correct me if I'm wrong on this btw as I seem to recall this cropping up previously. Sad really. I understand why the Club does it, but it is losing out on potential fans and new fans. Sunday afternoons, Sunday sessions, the warm weather (in theory) seems far more attractive as a fan than rushing around on a Friday evening with the Friday traffic etc.

Sunday afternoons all the time for me.



Having said that, if we had played at 7am on a Monday morning we should be attracting more than 2k to a game.

Apparently as Butcheroony has mentioned the income from corporate hospitality on a friday night is so significant it totally puts sunday out of the running.



Oh and the reason the crowd was so big Good Friday was due to wire bringing thousands on a bank holiday when they have the best team in the land. You think we'd have had a good crowd had it been against Crusaders or Quins? I think not.

please tell me what year this was? I don't ever recall being almost locked out at the Willows?

Don't remember being locked out but in the late 80's and early 90's I remember some very big bumper crowds. Think maybe the increase in media outlets for RL make the cost of attending live games less attractive. Also would suggest that there is more to do in the Salford/Manchester area than any other RL team in Super League barring the Quinns down in that there London Village.

You could have sat in your comfy chair Friday night with a few decent beers and a nice spot of food listening to the game in the Beeb and not had to cringe at the annuncers attempts at humour.

I think your sarcasm detector has broke
