Season ticket holders do have a poll, it’s the choice of buying or not buying a season ticket. I don’t particularly like Friday nights games, but as a supporter I choose to go, also I pay through the commit six, perhaps with no Sky deal possible, then clubs may revert back to Sunday games.
It’s not just ST holders but walk up and away fans. I do think our attendances have slipped this season and a bit last without checking when we have seen a lot less games on a Sunday.
It’s more the long term impact it will have on associating new fans with the club. As a young lad I got hooked on Sunday rugby being taken by family. I’m struggling to do that with my children due to the times. As RWB mentions that’s potentially a list fan for the next 50+ years. It’s so much harder to get an older child or teenager into the sport if they haven’t been introduced at a young age.
It was incredibly positive seeing all the kids running to daddy cool and present enjoying the sun and game vs Leeds on Sunday. I don’t expect we’ll see even half of the same turning out this evening.
