Bren, you cant just take him to games that we're going to win or he will never know what it's like to be a Trinity fan.
Mind you, if getting him there means a win, he should be travelling on the team bus

He's been coming to games since he was about 6, so he knows the pain; now he's away at Uni, he only gets to a few, and only if I'm paying - but the ones he's made this year, we've won - so I'm happy to have him along!

I shall experience a form of Proustian rush at some point during the game - two of his schoolfriends and former junior teammates now play for Shudds and are the size of small houses, which just makes me feel very very old indeed.

How embarrassing for their parents.

I just like to ask DC/MC if we ever looked at playing this fixture on Saturday evening instead of Friday or did you have no say whatever,Just think Saturdays have so much potential with most people working 5 1/2 days of the week and certainly after the Wendyball season has finished would it be worth looking at.

Without having to trawl through pages of posts why are our next two home games being played on Friday evenings? We're not on SKY so why is it necassery (sp) to play on a Friday?

Maybe its cheaper I don't know. Or maybe its easier to sell corporate? I'm Sunday all the way but looking at the crowd figure it offers no obvious increase in attendances.

Also, I think that we may be trying to negate some of the impact of the Easter fixtures.
By playing Fridays in the fortnight leading up to Easter, it should (slightly) reduce fatigue levels.

Most of the bigger clubs who use Friday as "matchday" also suggest that Friday is the best day to tap into the corporate stuff, as sponsors can bring their guests straight from work etc.
No as good for getting kids /families there, although at least it's not a school night AND it leaves the rest of the weekend free

Personally, I still prefer Sunday afternoons but, I guess that we get used to routine etc.

I could never understand how they were called Hudd - Shef, after all Sheffield were to be promoted and Huddersfield relegated.
It should have been Shef -field

That would have being ideal lol

It's funny i see it totally different Saturday evening's give you more time in the week to organiser Staff /friends etc for a Saturday corporate event, Them having all day (sat) to get ready for the lovely evening event coming and have a pre-event drink somewhere that's how i do my events.

In my experience, the corporate bit was best done on a Friday night - so it doesn't impact on the weekend; since for most people, RL is not an all day event - some weirdos actually have other interests!

On a personal note, I like a Friday night game - sets up nicely for a few scoops afterwards.

Like i said to Wrencat i see it totally different, Saturday when the Wendyball isn't on from end of may you could make it a totally new experience for hopefully new fans to come on a Saturday instead of having to rush home from work on Friday's rush hour traffic, Compared with a Saturday where you have all day to spuce up and enjoy the event and go round the town afterwards.
