I hate summer soccer...

No difference between night and daylight atmosphere really, if groups/people are willing to make the effort.

Night games much better.

I much prefer summer footie...
Also seeing as it is not clashing with the premiership as much it brings bigger crowds.

[bray boy]

I also prefer night time matches.

So when would you like the cup final to be played? It rains 12 months of the year in this country, and 50 days in a row last summer alone. It is right that it's at the end of the season.

For the winter fans, how many games would have been played this weekend, given the sleet, snow, gales, and heavy rain on sh!te pitches?? :confused: :rolleyes: That's before you consider frost, and fog. Furthermore, how many non ultras would have turned up at them??

hold it in waterford, it never rains down there.

I find that most people who are in favour of summer soccer like it for purely selfish reasons - "I don't like the cold so if I'm going to the game anyway, I'd like the weather to be nicer". 13,000 turned up to watch Leinster play a second-string Welsh team on one of the coldest nights of the year.

Taking a break in the middle of the season (the only date that has been confirmed so far) so the players can have a week in Lanzarote does not reflect well on a league that has supposedly become more professional. Running away from the EPL fixture list smacks of desparation but scheduling the season opposite the most popular spectator sports in the country looks downright foolish (not to mention the World Cup and Euro championships).
