and it is. And I hear the same thing about basically every other ground.

Doesn’t everyone prefer evening games? I always have, ever since I attended my first.

Let’s move all football to the evenings, then we can spend Saturday (and occasional Sunday) afternoons playing football ourselves/seeing our families/doing jobs around the house/in quiet contemplation

not seeing our families is exactly why Saturday afternoons should be the main football day.

Crowds would diminish by around 30% at a minimum - away followings would be none existent - days would have to be taken off work Tuesday & Wednesday for some, kids would be less likely to attend on weekdays.

Evenings games are a brilliant novelty, but there is and hope always will be something magical about 3pm Saturday kick off in this country.

Fear ye not.

We are now entering that phase of the English game where even Saturday afternoon games are played under lights.

We can have our cake and eat it.

Yeah, even when the sun was blazing down earlier in the season the lights were on. It's the same everywhere now - seems a waste of electricity and at odds the the sustainability policies all clubs should have.

I believe the TV companies ask for the flood lights to be on, so blame them not the clubs

Didn’t someone play a game at 1pm to avoid having to have their lights on due to the cost? Mansfield? Macclesfield?

Can we have cheaper seats if they're fitted with pedals to keep the floodlights going?

Ah, to lighten any shadows I suspect. I hadn’t thought of that.

Yes, it's allegedlly going to be announced after the 4th shirt comes out. Though the club have now gone with mouth powered turbines.
