There's now only 1 fixture clash per week, which will potentially result in higher ratings. It's annoying, as I prefer Fridays too, but I remember most people weren't happy about moving home games from Sunday to Friday, so we'll see how it affects crowds.

Re Friday nights- -I believe the RFL asked the clubs for their preferred day for home fixtures and 8 ( I assume Leeds ) stated a preference for Friday nights . However RFL/Sky have taken on board some of the criticism from last season and have spread the games out from Thursday to Sunday with only 2 Friday night games clashing . In theory the top game of the week will be on Friday I think they are hoping to minimise any moving or fixtures- though take that with a pinch of salt .

As an attendee at Headingley last season I preferred the Saturday afternoon games. They feel like the real deal instead of a fixture shunted to an evening kick off because we’re a second rate sport. As Arthur Clues said above, it’s so much better for away fans and makes for a better atmosphere. Evening games can also be tricky for young kids, especially the away fans. I jacked on away games a couple of years back due to having to finish work early and the awful trawl across Leeds and down the M62. Saturday games also give you the chance to socialise before, after or both if you wish. Conversely, as I’ll be watching all the games on Sky next season, the evening games will be great for me. Out for a curry and a few beers at tea time and then back around the corner and put my feet up for the match.

This is possible the most nonsensical, incomprehensible thing you've written. Which is some going.
Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

Oh the irony. The man talking about nonsensical posts who cannot even string a grammatically correct sentence together. Come back when you’re making sense.
