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.

**d rovers** · 25/02/2007, 3:21 PM

**feo123** · 25/02/2007, 4:10 PM

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 . . .

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.
