If an official statement is it out of consideration for our fans that support City too, or out of convenience to the directors?

Quote: Friday April 3rd v York City Knights at Cougar Park - KPL1 - 15:00 It never ceases to amaze me when Good Friday and other Bank Holiday games are arranged with a 3.00 p.m. Kick Off only to be re-arranged (on some occasions) later when the Club realises that the vast majority of supporters actually work on Good Friday in West Yorkshire, unlike Lancashire and other places. How many of the players will also be working on Good Friday? So, with the excellent crowds which we have had to date this Season there is no wonder that this game will be starting at 3.00 p.m. Obviously the Club doesn't need to attract all of the support that it can glean from anywhere otherwise the game would Kick Off at the usual Good Friday time of 19.30. Some of the decisions which are made by the Club completely mystify me, or do they also mystify others? Perhaps the Club will see sense and confirm that the game will be played on the evening of Good Friday, or will they?

Yep, never had good Friday off, always Mon/Tues. I personally think this is a bad move by the club but it will be interesting to see what sort of crowd we get.

Forgetting Superleague, there are 13 Good Friday fixtures, only Batley, Fev & Bulls have evening kick offs.
