Given the crowd last Saturday, LTFC should strongly consider Friday nights.
When the GAA championship commences our crowds will take a serious battering unless a compromise is reached.

Hate to say it, as I enjoy the Saturday night buzz, but I think you may be right. Although realistically I think it would have to be 8pm kick off's to give those of us based in Dublin more of a chance to get down. However, I would add it was Dublin City on Saturday, who have less support than UCD and (if it's possible) are an even less attractive team for the home fans.
Suppose we'll wait and see what happens for the Waterford game.
