I was thinking the same thing myself

Any of them that do "work", usually do it by night when their victims are tucked up in bed

It could also be due to the fact that visiting hour at The Joy is from 7.00pm to 8.00pm so it would stop a fair proportion of the "little 'uns" from attending - even they would rather see their brothers and fathers each week rather than Flynny, Georgie et all.

Expect small Rovers contingent at the game on Friday now as a result
