Sancho Panza Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Friday nights seem to be wetter than most. A lot of games are called off due to a short heavy downpour, why not give both teams and the ref the power to reschedule 24 hrs later, imagine the crowd at Blair Park today??

Saying that I don't think Blair Park would of been playable today as someone flushed their toilet up the scheme last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hristo Stoichkov Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Imagine how many players would be missing? What about club officials? Work and family time have got to come into it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 What? Players and committee have other lifes to lead? Surely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 One problem may be that televised football is on all day on Sundays. At least on Saturdays it's banned between certain hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertha_BJFC Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 how the hell can anyone say that Friday nights are wetter than most ? So if we go for Sunday football then what would happen if sat/ Sundays were very wet? Would we be appealing for Monday football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy mac Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 players try and stay of the drink on a Friday never mind trying to get them to stay of it on a Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passbackdave Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If a park is unplayable on the sat and they can get it on for the next day I think if a team is playing catch up and both teams agree 2 a switch then why not. I dunno what sort of crowds teams would get if it's a sunday tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I can't see that ever being a starter, players give up enough spare time without giving up the whole weekend to football, I'm sure the wives,girlfriends and families would be delighted! Mines hated that a saturday was always taken up which also meant no Friday nights out without bringing in the possibility of it over lapping into a Sunday!

Shannon Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The odd Friday night game should be tried out for teams close enough to each other as anyone who has been to a Meadow v Vics game on Marymass Friday is usually a very good crowd. Also means you have both Saturday and Sunday free. But I'd hate a Sunday game as usually spend time with family, girlfriend or watch football on tv. I'd probably still go but Saturday is far better day for football in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Didnt mean a regular fixture but some big cup ties been called off on a Sat with forecast good for the following day. Plenty reasons against that I never considered though, pray for climate change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I only go and watch games but is there a specific reason why none of the teams are want to play on any of the Sunday's junior cup semis,just thought you may have got a better crowd on that day.

Man Utd v Man City and Hearts v Hibs on tv this Sunday would mean probably a poorer crowd if a Sunday. Don't know what's on next Sunday. You want to accommodate your own supporters first and get as many as them to turn up so Saturday will 9 times out of 10 be the preferred choice for 2 legged semis if between Saturday or Sunday as suits your regular supporters / season ticket holders more in my opinion.

energyzone Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Do any clubs with floodlights actually use them? A Friday night game could work really well if you get the right weather and the right fixture (obviously this couldn't happen in the West region).

Occasionally, yes, as long as both teams are agreeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
