What time will summer games start at?

Now that we've got this summer malarky does this mean that games will be on Saturday afternoons or is the FAI sticking with the current Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings set up.

I hope that it'll be Saturday afternoons as for fans travelling to away games it doesn't mean being out on buses and trains at all sorts of ungodly hours.

Even if it was only for May, June and July Saturday afternoon footie would be a nice change.

Think it will stay the same.

The eL wants all games to be at 7:45 on Friday evenings. However, Longford, Derry and maybe Drogheda do not stick with this.

Whenever Drogheda change it's because of the away team e.g. Cork games are usually on Sunday afternoons.

Friday or Saturday nights at 7.45 are by far the best times imo.

...whats so bad about saturday afternoon football? I know that no club does it at the moment, but that shouldn't mean that (almost) all games are played at night. Besides, there's not that much else to be doing on a saturday anyway.

In the summer, especially, I think a few games on saturday afternoon would be good. A friend of mine in Liverpool took me to see an Everton game when I visited last year, and the atmosphere before the game was really good!
