I think the big difference is that the majority of the football season is through the winter so less likely to impact on family days/weekends away whereas we play in prime family holiday time. It's okay for those where all the family comes, but when it's only part of the family that attends, you're torn between the rugby or going out/away with the family.

No! And I never said it was.

However, the weather is usually pretty decent in those months and to go 7 weeks without a home game must stretch the finances and is one of the biggest negatives of playing at the stadium in my book.

Will we be able to play at the stadium if drawn at home in the cup on those dates?

The person I initially replied to claimed they are cancelling their pass because we have no home fixtures in the main part of the summer, which is incorrect.

The biggest mistake we made as a game was to let clubs vary our traditional game day as we did year's ago now clubs pick and choose. That let the genie out of the bottle and try as they may clubs will now always have an issue when they change back again to another day. In the old days (it what us told folks say) Rugby was invariably on a Sunday and everyone accepted that because they knew nothing different. But all that changed and now we are as well sadly totally a hostage to the TV and their schedules without which we would not survive as a game. the ideal scenario back at the start of Super League would have been TV games as scheduled with all other games on a Sunday (or Friday) but all on the same day.

We also lost what was in my eyes a good Saturday teatime slot to Football and Football have started to muscle in on our Friday night slot too. Means that even in the heartlands the TVs in Pubs show Football not SL.
