Sunday Afternoon kick offs

[Fivesilver]

I think I accidentally kicked off this whole debate . . . :confused:
My point wasn't about Sundays - it was about afternoon kickoffs. Floodlit games are great, but it's not the floodlights that make the atmosphere, it's the fans.

yes, afternoon kick offs always seem to have a poorer atmosphere in the showgrounds for some reason. maybe the evening games give people a chance to get a few drinks in before the game & get their singing voice?

I think a big part of is that under lights all the focus is on the pitch and the ground feels more enclosed. Also I guess the anticipation lelvels get longer to build up for night games.
