We can all agree that the Friday 6pm NRL kick-off is awful for fans who actually want to attend footy matches.
For many it's simply impossible to get to any stadium - especially in Sydney - in time for kick-off after finishing work for the week.
The Bunnies-Dragons game at the SCG last Friday proved that. The crowd was embarrassing.
So, the Eels have taken ingenious route of attempting to get their fans permission to leave work early.
With a Friday evening game against the Knights, the Eels published a letter from coach Brad Arthur asking bosses around Sydney to let their Parra supporting employees leave work early.
"To whom it may concern: Please allow passionate Parramatta Eels supporters to leave work early on Friday, August 11," the letter read.
"It’s the tail end of our 70th season and we need our fans at ANZ Stadium for the 6pm kick off to help bring our Blue & Gold home.
"Thank you for your understanding.
"Sincerely, Brad Arthur."
