What utter garbage!!!

The decision has been made by our chairman and unless nobody turns up then it ain't going to change.

Ok,ok. Your right, I'm wrong.
The chairman did make the decision due to the economics of the club and if it saves on electricity, he's taken a decision that will help the club. And went towards saving it.
Who knows how much and hour and a half of electric costs to run 4 floodlight towers?
Do you?
If the economics of the club improve over the next couple of seasons, our chairman maybe open to suggestions regarding the kick off time from the fans.

Seriously to save on floodlights? Really? The only time this make a blind bit of difference is before the clocks go forward. Taking this season as an example we had four home games before that point, one of which was an evening game on sky anyway. So thats one and a half hours of difference on electricity usage. If we are that desperate that we changed our historic start time for that then we may as well pack it up.

so you think footing a £30k plus electricity bill is acceptable then,
how about this one the last regime left on the toilet flush system on all close season so wasted gallons of water flushing its self so the water bill was higher than it should of been, you look after the pennies the pounds build up

Wonder if the change to 3.00 has had an impact on the attendances this season?

I assume that 30K is overall. How much has actually been saved by moving the KO?

not sure if that was quarterly or seasonal but that willl only be known at the end of this current season but it has to be less, also wakefield fc used to have all the flats lit up hence why they was moved to the other bar on the west stand, it does make you think that when using utilities that you don't see money going out there and then it does hit you hard when presented with a massive bill

Being realistic about this it is absolutely impossible to choose a day and time to suit everyone.Some may work Sat
/Sun therefore Friday nights suits.
If Sunday is the day which suits most there are still those who have to juggle work/family commitments around the game.
Fortunately for me I have an extremely understanding wife( likes to get rid of me Sun aft.) and a nuclear family who grew up within or married into and adapted to to match day culture.

It has saved an hour an a halfs electric, the saving will have been negligible and not worth the change imo. Still just my opinion.

The second part is stupid yes but what it has to do with kick off times i don't know.

I've enjoyed the 3:00 kick offs, not too long to wait before setting off and an extra half hour at home in the evening. I watch a lot of junior rugby in the morning, normally taking in at least 2 games, afterwards to kill some time I grab a bite to eat somewhere and head straight to Belle Vue. If we we were to go back to 3:30 the extra time between watching games in the morning and setting off to Trinity means I have to go home first and then set off out again.
