and whats wrong with plastic

It affects the taste of the beer, or whatever else you might be drinking from it. And not in a good way.

I don't think the club have complete control over fixture dates and times.

The RFL and Sky dictate a lot.

Did Hull not choose to have every game this season on a Friday night?
We also changed our sunday games to 3.30 ages ago. So when every other game kicks off at 3 on a sunday we kick off at 3.30 because the club believe it brings more fans in.

I can't know for certain.

I was just assuming really that it can't just be that easy to pick and choose your fixture dates and times.

Maybe you can.

Salford made the decision to change from Sundays to Fridays. I believe it was chosen because it's better for Corporate Hospitality and the like.

Maybe the club should try a sunday for a couple of games nowt to loose eh?? i dont finish work till 6pm, hubby is a taxi driver so its difficult for him to get out of work cos its a busy night, We could go back to watching as a family if we played on a sunday (at least 3 full price fans)

Like it or not Football rules in this area.
Most Citeh and United games are now on a Sunday, moving Salford to the same day would not work and probably hurt the attendance even more.

OK Celtic got 6500 against Saints, our first two homw games have been against 2 of the 3 worst supported away following teams. There was no more than 50 away supporters at both games combined, these should be our lowest crowds for the season now, if not we really are in trouble and this new guru for marketing is not doing his job.
An aside why plastic glasses in the club before the match, that has put me off going into the place before a game now, I hate drinking from plastic glasses it taints the taste of the beer, another thing that as not been thought through. It made the variety centre feel tacky, and the "DJ" well the less said the better, hula hoops!!!!!!!!!
If i was visiting for the first time i would not want to go back

More of a concern for me was that it was £2.50 a pint (in a plastic glass)before the game. Last season it was Tavern prices.
