First game of the season on a weeknight (5 Viewers)

[CJparker]

Anyone else feel it's a bit odd to be starting the season on a week night? Can't remember the last time it happened!

I know this is only a league cup game, but it's still the first proper league game of the season in my mind - just hope he puts out a good side tonight.

As a separate thought, we are probably the biggest club side that Daggers have played in their whole history, so they will be well up for it!

Hartlepool, Morecambe, Bury - will the trend continue?

They could have played last weekend, but chose today. If you have a look a fair few ties have already played.

I'm sick to death of all the midweek games; be they cup or league. I'm out of the country for the first league game.

God intended football to be played at 3:00pm on a Saturday. All this buggering about goes against that which should be sacrosanct

Even so, first game being on a week night, doesn't feel right!

I hate midweek as well but there does not seem too many and I think this one is to do with the Olympics.

If we only played on a saturday the season would last nearly a year without cup games

more games the better, weeknight games are great.

Unless they are a long way from home and you have work early next morning.

Well yeah I hate them as my working week involves a lot of travel. It's great fun leaving Conwy at 5 and getting back or even better hoping the flight from Douglas is on time.

Night games have been around ages!

I seem to remember us beating Newcastle at home 2-1 on a Monday night. Mick Harford scoring a header? Was that our first home game of the season? Would have been early 90's when the east stand was being built. I think Quinn missed a penalty.

It is a bit strange, doesn't feel like it is the first game of the season tonight!

It does if you're going

listen on radio then if you dont wanna travel..

Must admit, I enjoy a midweek game on a cold, crisp night at the Ricoh as much as a sunny Saturday afternoon game.

Unfortunately living in London these days I haven't been able to make a midweek Ricoh game for ages. I'll be there tonight though

 

[Houdi]

Looking forward to it,and Saturday. Lets hope the club can finally turn its fortunes round,it's hard to think any other set of fans have suffered so much sustained disappointment.Cautiously optimistic we have a really good season. PUSB.

Nice shot

Some of us have to travel to all games. A home game is 4 1/2 hours away for me. I am nowhere near being alone here, and I start work 5:30 days and nights as I work shifts.

move back to cov then. dont expect the fixture list to change for you.

Another reason it feels odd is because CWR missed a trick and never had a pre match show to discuss all thats gone on this summer, baffoons

Well there is that If it was a home game it would probably be a different story.

There is just not much talk / hype about it. It all seems about Yeovil.

 

[skybluesteve76]

It doesn't feel like the first game for me. It's all about the league.

no 3 points on offer, therefore not a league game, the league starts on Saturday.
