I, like many fans, have been unable to see Hull FC play at home since the change to Friday night fixtures. In the Hull Daily Mail on March 2nd Mark Fewings called on disgruntled Hull FC fans to start a petition, so here it is! A great many supporters are not in favour of Friday night games for the following reasons: 1. Elderly people do not want to have to travel to the games in the dark, or sit in the cold 2. People with families can no longer take children, as matches now start after their bedtime, and young children don't want to sit in the cold either 3. It is harder for away supporters and those who do not live close to the ground to get to the Friday night matches 4. More people are at work on a Friday and can't get to the match 5. This is SUMMER rugby, so why do we have to sit in the cold and the dark? The club used to proud of the 'family friendly' atmosphere. Now they do everything possible in pursuit of increased revenue. If you agree that we should go back to the Sunday afternoon 3pm kick-offs then please sign this petition. Thank you Carol

The feedback I have received from fellow fans confirms that the shift to Friday night matches has alienated many loyal supporters. I am currently reaching out to club officials to discuss why a return to traditional Sunday afternoon kickoffs is necessary for our community.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how many fans long for a return to traditional Sunday afternoon kick-offs. This collective response confirms that the current scheduling choices do not align with the needs of our families and elderly supporters.

Too old to be driving home in the pitch black and cold. Sunday 3pm was perfect for us pensioners.

Greed over the fans again. Just want to enjoy the game without the rush.

Friday nights are a nightmare with the traffic trying to get out of work. Sunday afternoon is proper rugby time.

Been watching for 20 years and this is the worst change they have ever made. Sort it out.
