Return of 2pm sunday games

[Moffo]

will this happen all year to suit foxtel?

I'll be ticked off it does. 2pm games do not attract people.

Better yet, it appears as though ch nein has stuck this change in without letting the public know. Dirty deceptive pricks

It is to suit naaaan not Fox
Naaaaaan were pissed off people were missing the start of their coverage when games kicked off at 2.30
I hope Gallop's knees are OK and not too sore from kneeling down to swallow the jizz of naaaan

 

[Moffo]

its merkin like

firstly they take a game off us on sunday arvos (When the actual number of games increased by 1) and then they change the start time

ch9 can kick my arse, and so can foxtel. bunch of league wrecking farkers

 

[spider]

ch9 can kick my arse,

i think you just did

 

[nqboy]

Turn off Moffo. That'll f*ck 'em.

2pm games are better for attendances IMO. I got home today around 4.15pm - the sun was still out, it was awesome. Those 3pm kickoffs your not really getting home till the sun goes down, and this impacts on the number of families going to the game.

It's good the games no longer overlap i hated missing part of one game every week. Seriously 30 mins to people attending the game shouldn't make any difference.

i get up at 1pm on sundays so it does hahaha

Just a slight over-reaction there Moff? Last year the games started at 2:30 with the channel 9 game starting at 3. This year it's half an hour early, which prevents there being a clash between the different games on TV.

Of course, none of this would matter to you because you head out to watch all the grades, not just the show ponies in 1st Grade, right?

Someone send across a box of tissues to poor lil' Moff.

Clean up that snotty nose son!

 

[jed]

You can't spare one of yours?

You should buy shares in Kleenex with the amount of crying you do on here.

I actually quite enjoyed the 2pm starting time. Gave me plenty of time to get home, have a rest and watch the 4pm match on TV.

 

[Crippler]

what was with the even earlier start for the melbourne game?

Exactly right. Spreading out the matches more allows for better viewing for the spectator who loves their league.

Quiet Moffo ;-)

Allow Fox to broadcast it, and as so not to be in direct competition with the two AFL games in Melb.

 

[meltiger]

Just out of interest ... Why is 2pm considered to be a bad time for attendances?

 

[meltiger]

They still managed 12,000 even with the early start. Highly impressed :thumn

 

[skeepe]

I like the idea of 2pm starts, and I love the idea of a 12pm game. In fact I think the 12pm game should become a regular addition to the round of footy. Just do what they did this round - two Saturday night games instead of 3, and then 3 Sunday games. Perfect, IMO.

 

[Danish]

Why was there 3 games on Sunday this round anyway??

Saturday jus wasnt the same with only 2.
