Quote Leigh24.7="Leigh24.7"So do I. The game could be built up in town during the day with pre-match activities at the ground - good time for food stalls etc in a marquee.
But why is Saturday NEVER mentioned when discussing options. Trevor has said previously that the hospitality was brilliant last time against the French team and the gate was above average so I can't understand why we don't at least try a few.'"
Have to say that if the club want to trial a day if we do have a problem fitting in all our fixtures on Sundays (can't see why that would be the case in fairness) then Saturday 6.30PM KO seems a good option to trial (certainly in Summer) as it seemingly ticks more boxes than Fridays at 8PM...
- Corporates seemingly like Saturdays.
- It can still ensure we have a active Junior Supporter club to build up as more young Children can attend a early evening kick off.
- It gives the players/coach part of a weekend off that they have asked for (Surely thats a wind up !)
- It isn't a rush home from work for a lot of people.
- It helps attract away support or fans of other clubs.
- It doesn't clash with any other major sporting event on TV or live.
- It gives the club a opportunity to use the time leading up to the match as 'part of the event' in effect making the match the main entertainment in a day of events to help
maximise the revenue that can be generated to the club and its partners (pre match activities entertainment and perhaps a reserve grade game etc, etc).
