griffiti on the wall Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Its just a way to try and boost attendances for a local match by trying to get folk to go if there senior team are playing on the Saturday We played Friday tail end of last season and attrached a decent crowd so given ourselves and Ashfield are close neighbors it's certainly worth a try What's the deal with all the Friday night games?

It's just unfortunate clubs dont have floodlights and would be able to do it through the winter months, as it would be a great way to get the communities even more involved. It would help with interest in youth and amateur football as well. Summer football could certainly help if we didnt have dinosaurs running the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Madness we don't play summer football or set our fixture list like league of Ireland but for some reason some folk think trying to play in the winter is beneficial to the game I absolutely agree it'll help with attendances mate.

sansiro Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I also think Friday night footballIs a winner but nice tho it is for fans surely the sectional cup schedule is crippling over stretched volunteers running clubs . These people are forced into staging /playing / attending 3 games in five days and the prize at the end off it is at least one potentially 2 x. 6.30pm Ko’s not forgetting 2 days after your last sectional match you face your opening league match . The clamber for change brigade have done no more than pile extra pressure on creaking resources in all but a few select elite clubs and possibly a few more hard working teams who are on the up and are able to attract new blood to help run their clubs prepare pitches etc etc . That is before you consider player injuries fatigue availability . Anybody else think along these lines . Anyway I am away to measure the grass which is growing at its fastest rate ever and the 5 day Madness of Sectional League Cup is looming on the horizon . Your thoughts please gentlemen . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with any of that tbh and 4 games in a week also puts pressure on fans aswell both in terms of time spent attending the games and financially . The problem really goes back to the calender we use and the problem of having 2/3 months of games getting postponed all over the place which means we are trying to fit as many games and competition's into such a short period of time before what can potentially be a winter shutdown especially for teams who play on grass .This leads to an utter nonsense in spring when clubs are trying to play 8 games in 16 days which happened to the candy the season before last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
