Agree re Sunday games. The club need to get in front of a different, younger audience where they can. Can't see many of the fans who have become bitter and disenfranchised returning when so many Rhinos games are on TV. Afternoon games pull in the families and the kids who are just discovering a love of the game, without the expectations of those who were attracted over the "golden" period.
I can understand the need for Friday night games obviously for sky broadcasting who ultimately are the paymasters. However I am certain midsummer Sunday afternoon games must be financially attractive for the club. A bonus last Sunday was the reserve game I watched some of it a nice end to the day. As you quite rightly comment Sunday afternoon is brilliant for kids and young families. Obviously the next generation of supporters. I note that a new 3 year deal with sky has just been signed, unfortunately less money than previous years. Mixed thoughts on the reduced fee, however as the economy worsens it might not be a bad outcome.
