East End Old Boy Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 2 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Wouldn't mind, a 5.30pm game under the floodlights and especially in late Autumn/Winter is usually pretty decent- under the floodlights, extra drinking time- usually it all helps with atmosphere. Even with a 3pm kickoff, most of the game will be under lights anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any truth??down Hope not because last time we were moved to this time we had our pants pulled down: 1. Some bloke lobbed our keeper from oInside his own half, maybe even from greville smyth park 2. We were outclassed, taught a lesson, played shite - take your pick 3. The extra drinkong time meant many were so pissed the atmosphere that day was crap (poi ts 1 & 2 above may also have contributed to this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Bring on the 5:30 kick off, more drinking time before the match, then take my place in the concourse to watch on the screens with a more pints. Lovely stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, but to me there's always a different feeling with a game under lights from the off. I stand by my general point though, it seems to help atmosphere at a lot of grounds- maybe AG is different, dunno. @Merrick's Marvels You will be thinking of the Brighton game nearly 2 years ago? That one was poor but atmosphere started well and if Tomlin had scored that early chance...would have been a very different game. Since then we have from memory in that slot played Boro last season, that was decent and December IIRC and Wolves which had a great atmosphere and after an hour looked like we were about to move to the next level, pulling Wolves right back into the scrap but a terribly disappointing final half hour after the Fielding red put paid to that!

Weekend games should be played at 3pm on a Saturday! Unfortunately TV is slowly putting pay to that, at least we aren’t in the Premiership, ...... yet!

Agreed- my least favourite slots though are by far Saturday and Sunday lunchtime. Wednesday night does knock out of kilter...then again we seem to have a solid record on it in recent times so then again. (1-0 v Hull, 1-1 v Fulham and a small moment of 'and it's Smith' ).
