Who cares? It doesn't matter if they kick off at the crack of dawn or play it behind closed doors. As long as Leam gets to give his squad a run out in something resembling a competitive match, that's all that matters.

Ah yes because then there would be an influx of schoolies and a bumper crowd watching... Somehow, I doubt it.

It's a ressies game for god's sake.

No need to be sarcastic about it shaker. if you went to the oldham game you'l have seen a great game of footie that night,and with work commitments 2pm on a tuesday afternoon is no good not just to me but others as well. and isnt it all about supporting your team ....

Well said mab.

He probably didnt even go the Oldham game, which I really enjoyed.

Outback Ozzy · 02-02-2012, 08:08

Being totally selfish, I agree with Mab - move it to the following week when the school kids are off - oh and move it to the 15th so i can go wi' the missus and take the mickey out of her (WAFC fan), as i will back from Espana.

Let's face it, no matter what time the game is played it won't suit everyone - not everybody works Monday to Friday 9 - 5, there'll be some who wouldn't have been able to make it for a night game & if this arrangement is best for the team so be it - what happened to getting 110% behind the new regime?

When we had a reserve team, a lot of their games were played in the afternoons & I don't remember many complaining about it then?
Surely all that matters is that those who can get there, go & support our lads & give 'em an extra shout for those of us that can't

No-one seems to be looking at the big picture, Seems to me all about personal preference, n sod whats best option fer the First team.

In which case it would be youth team anyway, can't imagine any first teamers will want to play Afternoon & Night

Now you know why some clubs don't enter it

This.

Let's see what the attendance is on Tues and compare it to the Oldham game.
I intended going but can't now due to work commitments............ The Crown wil loose out a bob or two if I'm not going either

Stephen666 · 05-02-2012, 18:57

Sorry, just to make my last post a little clearer, if the match was kicking off at the original time I would have been going.

Redash · 05-02-2012, 19:03

Many of us would like to go, but the floodlights use lots electricity, and 200 people paying £3 would not cover the cost.
Also, with the weather as it is at the moment, the pitch would probably be freezing in the evening. There is a bigger chance the pitch would be payable in the afternoon.

I don't like it, but it's best for the club, and that is, in reality, all that matters.
