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?

I can only speak from personal experience, but in my entire 41 years working life spanning 6 jobs I have never worked on Good Friday, maybe I have been lucky, who knows.
It is sometimes better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt !

Your lucky 30 years in engineering and I have never had good Friday off, unless I have taken it as leave, Luckily I finish at lunch time, most engineering companies in Yorkshire I deal with also work Good Friday, and have Easter Monday off plus Tuesday.

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.
I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

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

A quick glance shows the only Yorkshire side to play fri afternoon are Hunslet and that's to maximise the massive following from Leigh.
