Not interested in floating RL fans, they should be a bonus to any crowd - we should only concentrate on Leigh supporters, and quite frankly any self-respecting fan who chooses not to watch their own team because of the TV game that night needs to give their head a wobble.

Me too mate I am on nights, could have gone Saturday or Sunday.

Why this obsession with professional sportsmen having a weekend off, I would think they get more time off then the average working man? I worked a long season of 52 weeks with two weeks off when I was a young married man.

i agree reffy, if we'd still been pt, then that arguement may of had some merit. However now we are ft, it does not imo

Whatever day we play on there are those who would prefer a different day.



A lot of Superleague clubs seem to prefer Friday nights so if we get promoted we will have to get used to it imo.



Players are relatively young and therefore they will have kids who they might like to spend time with when their kids are not at school.



The club have decided the date if you can go well you will if you want to.



Had a phone call today from a fan who lives in Kent. He said he would be there Friday cos he can't make games on Saturday or Sunday.



Whatever we play our cup tie Friday. End of.

One assumes you could more or less choose when to take your 2 weeks off give or take ? Regardless of what happened to you donkeys years ago, The world has actually moved on and we are in an age now where employees are afforded more flexible work / life balance around working time in many professions. I simply can not compare basically the T & C's of my near 50 year career to anyone starting out in life today.



Let's be honest the players can hardly submit annual leave request forms for this coming Sunday can they? Or even commit to weekend functions you and I may take for granted such as family christenings etc.



Give the boys a break, their endeavours have earned a rare Saturday and Sunday off.

It is also astonishing how many people are actually under the misapprehension that all the full time staff in organisations similar to ours are professional sportsmen ?

One assumes wrong, holidays were Wakes Weeks.

I bet the Superleagues clubs are on the training pitch Saturday...







Is that not the same for all clubs?







So supporters are not part of the club? The decision is made purely for the team!







He'll be staying overnight then with a 8-00pm kick off. Hope he doesn't miss his Saturday shift..





Come on get real,terrible fixture time..And was no need for it.Personally, shows a lack of interest in the CC from Leighs point of view.

Love Friday night games, great for the atmosphere under the floodlights. Shame that they've picked a game where there is going to be a low crowd. Challenge cup games at home never attract a decent crowd (due to the fact you can't use a season ticket) until we play a big SL side. Looking forward to when we play regularly on Fridays if we get up to SL.

when we get to sl, i hope we decide to play all non tv games on a sunday end off

I'm with you.



Whilst I, like you, would always go to watch my team, whatever the day, I do prefer daytime matches, for travelling/watching. Must be an age thing!
