That sounds a bit naff to me. Why should non-football fans be denied a knees up at the end of the week?

If its Friday, most (?) people will be at work and then go to the game only giving the time after?

So which is safer?

Anyway, have you seen who Sky favour for the Saturday 12 slot? I would have thought our game would have pulled in more viewers?

But surely the police wouldn’t recommend a Friday night kick-off when people are more likely to want to go out and drink more?

Oh, and I’m a season ticket holder! :-D

The move is always a safety / police thing or a Sky thing. Sky are normally the ones that chuck the random evening times in to keep people paying towards their business model.

However as soon as Sky decided it was to be televised, it was moved to the Friday night.
