Thursday night games : Thu Jun 15, 2017 7:44 am  
The RFL are contemplating moving kick off times for Thursday games earlier. It's official- they are mad. How do they think that will improve attendances, especially with cross Pennines matches.

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS

You'd have to say that if they move Thursday (or Friday IMO) matches to an earlier kick-off then they need to make sure they are not cross-pennines matches.
Getting across the M62 for an 8pm kick off is bad enough if you've been working all day - any earlier would be absolute madness and would see swindling numbers of away fans

The problem they are trying to resolve is the late finishing times of televised matches.

Rather than change the start time, how about starting the game ON TIME, having the prescribed 15 minute half time not extended by adverts and waffle then get rid of the video ref and we will all be home before breakfast.

How about doing away with Thursday night matches altogether?

Bingo! They should move the additional televised fixture back to Saturday.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"

If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

Re: Thursday night games : Thu Jun 15, 2017 10:42 am  
I've always been of the view that if a match is not televised then it should only be played on a Saturday or a Sunday. It then gives a realistic chance for the more keen fans (who like going to away matches) a realistic opportunity to go. I'm sick of missing matches because it is unrealistic for me to hope to arrive at the ground on time. With the roadworks on the M62 (is there ever a time when there isn't roadworks?) make it even more of a challenge at the moment.

However I feel like I moan in vain. Clubs like Saints and Wigan are less interested in receiving my hard earned money then their fans complain about the "poor" travelling support.

If I was short sighted I could become a referee!

Re: Thursday night games : Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:39 am  
I think they had a few TV games at 6.30 on a Sunday night a couple of years ago and would be worth a try for a full season. Sunday is a traditional day for rugby league and 6.30 does not clash with any non TV games or English football. Also the roads are relatively quiet so travel is easy and an 8.30 finish means plenty of time to get home for those needing an early work start on Monday.

That is too simple for the RFL.
