This change would have to be for the right reasons!
E.g. do Pats fans think that playing games on winter nights will bring back the big crowds of the Kerr & Dolan eras?
Many Pats fans I know who used to go to every game back then, now have to pick and choose not because of summer v winter but because they are no longer single, living at home and free to jump on the 78a at the drop of a hat and be down at to Ricmond in 15 mins. Plenty of these people are now living out in the commuter belt towns with kids, a wife, a mortgage and a pain in their arse commuting to and from Dublin all week.
Faced with options of either going home to collect the kids and going then back into the game or hanging around town after work, not being able to have a drink and then driving home out to the sticks for one of the less attractive fixtures, means that alot of people think feck it I'll go home have a few beers on the couch, keep an eye on the forum for the scores while surfing facebook and go the derby game two weeks from now instead.
Similar scenairo applies to many fans from others clubs too i'd imagine!
