| Quote bullinenemyland="bullinenemyland"I don't see what the fuss is about with the 6.15pm kick offs. A few years ago we used to kick off at 6pm on a sunday every week.
6.15pm will mean game is finished by 8pm latest. Games in Super League are barely started on a Thursday by that time.'"
Correct, but we were winning then so it wasnt an issue.
Now we arent as successfull people use it as a convenient excuse.

| Well I didn't have children those 'few years' by few I take it you mean 15 plus years ago!! Call it a convenient excuse if you wish, but I'm just stating my opinion that I think that KO time for anyone with young children is a non starter. I took my boy to the London game but I wouldn't entertain trying to keep him up for the later kick off. Obviously they can't please everyone though and I see what they're attempting to do regarding the tv exposure, time will tell if it is worth it.
One other thing to consider is that players in this league are mostly part time so will likely have work the next day, which might be a consideration for any sides that might need to travel such as London? Hopefully these things are being considered when schedule decisions are made.

I revert to the 17th chapter of the book of Job in these matters: Blessed is he who doth not expect, for he shall not be disappointed.

Alternatively, we didn't have families then and went on the lash afterwards and weren't bothered about work.
Now we have kids and are trying to hook them in to keep the club alive it's a pain arguing with your 9 yr old having to explain why she can't come but her older sisters can. Convenient as phuq that!

How rediculous.
Having kids is not just a recent phenomenon
People still had young children 15 years ago when we played on Sunday nights!
But it was Bullmania then sucessful team and lots going so it want an issue. Now its down at Dewsbury in the Championship its too late to play .

| I don't remember late Sunday slots. We had the Friday 8pm & Sat 6pm slots (both sky), then the usual 3pm Sunday. Our televised slots seemed to be more Friday than Saturday which was a shame as a curry after a Saturday evening game went down well.

| Quote bulls2487="bulls2487"The fact I and others travel 2 hours plus to get to a game means you aint getting home to 11pm on a Sunday night so thats already lost money for the club. Also plenty of parents with kids aren't gonna bother with early start Monday.
With our young fan base now you aren't going to see many who have watched us play late nights too.'"
Sorry about that. I now realise the error of my ways and fully understand that the club should be considering how the change of kick off time effects you directly, even when they have no actual say over it whatsoever!!!
As someone who regularly travelled from Scotland for over 5yrs to watch games I should really have asked the club to have considered me in their plans and asked for a 12noon kick off... silly me

Yes that is true as we never attracted any children whatsoever in those days so it became irrelevent.
