Friday Night Games

Tavern

We use to play a lot of these in the 70s and after the palarse game at home last season i for one would rather have a friday night game rather than a sunday.Be interested if others had the same opinion.

Used to love them, always seem to be good games. 6-2 against the Saints, what a game.
Really good if your company operates a POETS day.

Not in favour personally. Friday night is "getting smashed after work night".

Last time I think we did this was mid nineties against Tranmere, we won 3-1 and Jason Lee scored

I enjoyed them at the time as I played sport myself on Saturdays at the time.

However fans have been driven out of London and with work pressures and travel difficulties evening matches are not as easy to attend as they once were.

That said Friday night is certainly better than Sunday.

Tranmere also played a lot of home games on a friday night to try and boost attendances.

I would prefer a smattering of friday night games rather than the somtimes weird SKY say so kick offs.

I loved the Friday night games in the 70s - was a teenager and they were a great way to spend a Friday night with your mates. One of our lot used to sell pies round the perimeter of the pitch during games, on the way home we finished off what wasn't sold, lovely. I think my record was 3 pies and a pastie in one nite!

Brighton game was one of my all time favourites, but i'm pretty sure it was on a Tuesday night.
