[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1098530, member: 58362"] Given that (all I think) Premiership teams play matches on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays, surely there's pretty insightful data out there to say how much effect this has. If Sunday crowds are reliably significantly higher than Saturdays, then there would be an argument for looking at making changes. The problem is, this isn't the only factor to consider. Reduced Saturday matches might mean reduced TV revenues, so that would have to be weighed off against the increased match day revenue. Also, you're ignoring the loss of revenue from people who wouldn't attend Sunday matches because of travel or work the next day. I'm not saying that you're definately wrong, just that there are a lot of factors to weigh into any decision and it would require a lot of information to make an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
