    Still unable to grasp the difference between ownership and board members are you? That's unfortunate.

    Our game against Waterford that was suspended on the second has been rearranged for Tuesday the 27th. Has any other team been asked to do Tuesday then Friday games? Nevermind twice.

    Waterford also have a match against Derry City listed for Friday 30th Aug

    Is there a significant difference playing Friday - Tuesday - Friday as opposed to Friday - Monday - Friday?

    A Tuesday night is an awkward night to get people to go to games as it's just not something the casual fan would think about. The fact its a few days before the derby and a few days after a cup game basically means that non season ticket holders are either going to have to part with 45euro in the space of a week or pick and choose games which will affect attendances. Think that'll be the first full day back in school for lots of kids too and it's not away fan friendly at all either.

    Just stupid stupid fixture planning from the idiots in Abbottstown yet again. Would have made much more sense for us to play Waterford at home this Monday then hold off finalising the away dates until after the cup second round and at worst putting it on the Monday after the quarter finals if either team were still in it or on the Friday if they weren't.

    It seems to me that all of the above issues similarly apply to playing on either Monday or Tuesday.

    Midweek games are inevitable if you have games called off to facilitate your european preparation

    Tuesdays are far worse than even the **** shows that are Monday games.

    How though? Unless the Monday is a bank holiday, it doesn't make much difference either way.

    There's no pattern to it. If someone asked you when are LOI games played you'd say Fridays and some Mondays and Sligo play Saturdays. To throw in random Tuesday games just means the casual fan isn't going to know they're happening and people might have stuff on on Tuesdays while they'd keep Mondays and Fridays free

    In your view how many extra paying supporters would attend if the Shamrock Rovers V Waterford match was played next Monday instead or Tuesday?

    The fact the Bohs 'cup final' follows on the Friday presumably did not tinge your thinking?

    Playing a game on a Monday probably adds a few hundred to the gate compared to a Tuesday. It's an awkward day to have a game and made even stranger by the FAI arranging dundalks game for the Monday.
    Just about every aspect of the arranging of that game is just done wrong, playing the same team twice in just over a week, 3 home games in a week, a random day of the week to schedule it for, arranging it for days before a big game. Its like a check list of how to guarantee the worst attendance possible.

    Wow, how many people do you think 'keep Monday night free' for LOI matches ? Only possible downside to Tuesday night (as opposed to Monday night) is that it is a training night for most junior / underage teams and, naturally that might hit the crowd.
