Friday night : Sun Mar 19, 2017 7:10 pm  
I just wondered what people felt about playing on Friday night. I do not know what the crowd was. There were more there than I expected.
I know some could not make it, some felt it was going to be too much hassle and the fact that Season Ticket holders to pay put people off.
We decided not to drive and took the train instead, with Castle Bar Park station being open it was quite easy.
I know some who did drive struggled, Friday night travel is always difficult.
In the Championship Friday night games, other than Easter are never going to happen. Should and I know it is a big if we were ever to make it back to Super League it will.
I felt it made a nice change and it has been quite nice to have a Sunday with no rugby. How do others feel?

I guess the club charged season ticket holders because they have to split the gate after taking away the costs for the night with the away team not that Toronto would have received a great lump sum.

Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that!

Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!

Re: Friday night : Sun Mar 19, 2017 8:04 pm  
Always preferred Saturdays myself, if it were possible I'd love us to have a few Saturday games when the union season has finished- although the odd Friday game at the Stoop was alright. Working in town the getting to the game is ok, the getting home from West London can be a pain- so no time to stick around for a post match pint!
But if it could be a way to get more people in through the gates then why not give Friday nights a go once in a while? We've probably had the games with the biggest travelling support already, could Friday be a night to get more home fans in?

As a one off, it was ok. The faff of Friday evenings makes it a non starter for me. Like Rob, Saturday afternoons preferred for me. Also, evenings generally preclude the younger kids which surely must be one of our target markets ?

Broncos have lost both Friday night floodlight (Cup) competition games. Last year is was against Featherstone losing 26-28 in front of 294. This year it was 26-30 in front of 873. We did beat the touring Yowies side both times but I dread us playing competition games at home under those weird coloured lights and would rather we never have to play under them ever again.

Re: Friday night : Mon Mar 20, 2017 10:52 am  
It's an interesting one the Fri night thing. Didn't think the lights were too bad tbh. It was a bigger crowd than I expected, was it the draw of seeing the new team for the first time or was it Fri? Good thing with Fri is it means you have the rest of the weekend free so that could be a pull for some. After work not best for some but hey I managed it ok!
We have tried Saturdays, only problem with that us and London league players are niw counted out as sat is when they play.
If we went Fri it does mean short turn round every other week for the club.
As for the gate ticket price it's a cup game they have to charge.

Saturday six 0 clock is a ko time I'm surprised we haven't tried , amateur players can get there ,people that work have got a chance of getting there , people who want family time on Sundays can get there , football fans who's teams are at home can just about get there and for the really young kids its not too late a finish and its not a school night anyway.

Re: Friday night : Mon Mar 20, 2017 3:33 pm  
I think early evening Saturday would reap rewards. But hey if they changed it to that someone would complain. I think as much as possible pick a day and try to stick to it. Only problem with Saturdays at our current home could be clashes with ealing. I presume uts normally sat that the rah rah boys play

Why do we need to stick with a day date? Man Utd/Chelsea etc seem to manage with a mixture of days and times
