AFAIK, only our first 5 or so home games will be Sunday. Not the whole season. Besides, League cup games are on Tuesday/Wednesday so how will that interfere?

Pats had to pay for the upgrades ourself, if thats any use to you

nah, the 3-2 vs cobh was on a wed afternoon - i remember bunking off school for it!

have to agree that the evening games have a much better atmosphere.

apologies for that, i was sure the 3-2 was a midweek game. when you get to my age the mind starts playing tricks! :)

it must have been the 0-0 i was on about alright.

i remember the day well! great game

the 3-2 game was better....

oh i know, it was great altogether, i'll never forget that 3-2 victory!

The first game was Sunday in Cobh 1 - 1
The second game was wednesday in Sligo 2 - 2
The Third game was wednesday in Cobh 0- 0
The Last (and the best) game was Sunday in Sligo 3 - 2

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.
