Betty Swallocks Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 If it was between that and having my nuts chopped off I’d be off to get the guillotine. So in answer to your question, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Given I work on weekends then yes, however disregarding that no football saturday 15:00 is what it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlesh*t Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 For my life right now this would be ideal but having had a season ticket for years previously I would have been bloody pissed off if this had happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Why would anyone want / think that playing every home game on midweek evenings is a good idea? Traffic is absolute chaos for midweek games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 My choice of time would be 12.30 on a Saturday. Time beforehand for a brunch and a pint but then half the day to do something else. Realise I’ll be in a minority of one with that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your aren’t missing much I’d suggest & it’s definitely not something that’s justifying me taking a 2 hour trip from Yate. You get them to sort out the road infrastructure & I’ll deliver you a bovril (or any other beef extract drink you want) once a week if it saves me the hell of getting all the way to Ashton on a week night!

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Having said I wouldn`t want all midweek games I do have to qualify it by saying I do like a Friday night match. You`ve still got the weekend afterwards and it would save me having to endure the holiday hell of the M5 five or six times a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night games are great if you win as it sets up a good weekend lose and it’s a different story .. but true whet you say about having the whole weekend free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I've always advocated Friday night matches, I love them and they are highly preferable over a 12pm kick off on a Saturday or Sunday which I really do not enjoy one little bit.

Port Said Red Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 As I work away a lot during the week, I often miss midweek games, so I don’t think this would be good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 As a baseball fan who would happily kill 3 hours a couple of nights a week I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Living fairly local I can get to a kick off at AG at any time. However I do really enjoy evening ko’s - they’re more atmospheric under the lights but I wouldn’t necessarily want every home game to be midweek. That would bugger up my weekend routine!

Last season we won 8/23. Can the players not cope with the added expectation at home? In response to @Redbo no I wouldn't. The atmosphere would definitely suffer & so would the crowd numbers. Saturday 3pm with the occasional Friday night would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbo Posted September 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I love weekday evening games. Especially in winter. Under the lights, atmosphere is usually a bit better IMHO. And the Bovril, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post 13:30 but 12:30 would do fine if not better. Waking up at 6 through habit and trying to waste 7 hours before I can finally leave does my head in - 15:00 is too late for me.
