your whipped with kids

you whip kids

 

[big hit!]

7,000 who attended Roosters V Knights is what I'm getting at.
Whilst you may get a few who live near or work near the stadiums,6pm is a crowd killer.

definitely agree with you. shit time for a game.

i keep saying:
1x fri 8pm
1x sat 3:30pm
1x sat 5:30pm
2x sat 7:30pm
1x sun 2pm
1x sun 4pm
1x sun 6pm (or 12pm for warriors games)

Or they could grow some balls and tell tv to get faked and play games at the same time or overlapping in the best time slots ala afl!

Why would I reply to a post on afl?

What's wrong with a nearly Saturday game like 1pm? Can't always be concerned with conflicting against local games being played. Sounds like a nice time to go to a game. then you could have 4 stand alone Saturday games (1,3,5,7:30) if you don't want an overlap.

1pm in March?

They can be logical about the locations, i.e NZ, Melbourne games moreso than far North cities in the early months. And if weather is an issue, then they can potentially look at that timeslot at least from May onwards.

Melbourne can be bullshit hot in March. May onwards would be the only way it can work.

More so because of junior sport being on around there so not targeting all necessary audience. Also yeah factor in the heat in march

A single game on Friday to kick off the round is something the game sorely missed. The Friday night game used to be something you would get excited about regardless of who was playing. It was the start of the week for that round of league and it felt awesome whenever it came around.

We've now taught fans to only tune in to watch when it's their team playing (hence why the broncos get on every week or no one in QLD would watch apparently).

I would love to see a return to Friday night being the start of the round and basically pick the match of the round each week in that slot. Also make sure that you alternate who plays there instead of just being the broncos game each week. Really hype up and advertise that as the start of the weekend and the return of the footy.

I know many disagree but if I had to choose I'd rather a Monday night game to finish the round than Thursday to start it. Obviously neither would be ideal.

I can see Friday 6pm going the way of the dodo because it's ratings don't justify the severe drop in crowds. I feel it's in the best interest of the NRL and fox to remove this awful time slot.

However it's hard to see us not having either a Thursday or Monday night game. They simply offer to much in terms of TV dollars.

You would have to shift it around so it's a 6pm game during certain portions of the season.

No matter when you play games they'll be competing with something. Not every game is going to be targeting all of the NRL's audience. That's why we have 8 games played across a variety of games and timeslots.

Do get the heat factor, so potentially a later start in the year in that timeslot unless you use NZ as a potential location at least a couple of times before the cold weather hits.

I guess you can't please everyone or you are limiting your availability on start times. Not everyone has kids or has kids that play junior sport on Saturdays so that shouldn't be the sole influence over that decision.

 

[carcharias]

People without kids can go anytime then

6pm on a sunday > Thurs, friday 6pm & Monday.

How did we manage to lock ourselves into stand alone fixtures? That is what kills the opportunities to maximise crowds. Seven and fox don't seem to have an issue simucasting afl games. Their fixture times this round

Friday 7:50pm
Saturday 1:45pm
Saturday 2:10pm
Saturday 4:05pm
Saturday 7:25pm
Saturday 7:25pm
Sunday 1:10pm
Sunday 2:40pm
Sunday 3:20pm
