old_eastender Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Just wondering why is it on Friday night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Our fixture away was on a Friday due to Hull Rugby playing on Saturday. At the same time Hull agreed to play our home match on a Friday. Is there some kind of advantage to the home team playing under lights?

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Always like Friday night football, plus Saturday before Christmas is normally a poor attendance, think off the back of a win, should be a good night 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it gives us a bit more prep time before the game on Boxing Day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of it being Black Saturday and making Hull travel down on the day rather than stay over perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 It’s so the players can go Christmas shopping on the Saturday, evidently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that will be the reason given but if it’s an advantage why aren’t all the other games being moved to Friday night?

Personally for me it’s a pain in the arse It's just purely to space the games. It's Fri, Tues, Fri, Mon now. It's a day better. Home, Away, Away, Home. The Bears are away when we play Hull at home on that Friday evening, then they are home to Exeter when we are away at Birmingham the following Friday (29th).

Loosey Boy Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Let’s hope we can back-up yesterdays result with another 3 points on Friday - would give the team a lot of confidence, going into the games over the Christmas/New Year period.

Packman Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Jadon Philogene is injured for Hull which makes it a bit easier for us. Absolutely fantastic player, surprised he went to Hull. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would even take a point if we have to tbh. Manning needs to build some momentum rather than the stop/start results we have been used to for a few months now, just keep picking up something over a period of games would be a good start. I said three points minimum over these two home games (thinking we might struggle yesterday tbh and in some ways we did) so having achieved that already don't "drop the ball" and get done on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
