Friday Night Games

[Bagpuss]

I see the club have announced the Darlington (if they are still going) match has been changed from Saturday 12th Sept to Friday 11th Sept, I hope this is a one off, I didn't renew my season ticket for Friday night footy which I will miss.

Only half the number of whingers then. wonder if Jeff Winter will be one of the missing ones

never been a friday night fan, most unfair on season ticket holders who work shifts etc of which there is a few.

Fridays are no good to me either. It's hard enough on saturdays but a friday is a definite no.

and on the previous occasions that we have played Darlington at home (tuesdays) their fans have always said they would travel in larger numbers for a saturday match. Seems a strange decision to me.

Special admission?

So what, it's no good if you can't go.

But I bought a season ticket for Saturday games, not bothered if it's a one off.

Who's to say the Darlo match will be even played, lets face it they have enough problems of their own being that they are in a similar problematical state as Chester City.

I said that in the first post.

The club have experiemtned with Friday night games for the last few seasons. Why is anyone surprised by this annoucement?

i personally enjoy them.
it leaves you the whole weekend free and ther atmosphere is generally better than saturday afternoons.

Have Friday night games ever worked. Didn't seem to make any difference to the overall attendance when it's been tried before.

You you would have thought also that there has be a greater chance of getting a bigger turn out from the away fans on a Saturday afternoon.

It may be a chance to target Burnley/Rovers fans, as well as Stanley walk on fans with the special admission?
