As both ourselves and Crewe have been knocked out of the Cup, why not play the league game on Saturday 27th November instead of the Tuesday night as has been scheduled?
At this time of year, an afternoon fixture on what is now a free Saturday has got to be better than a colder night game.
Also, won't Crewe bring more fans on a Saturday afternoon which means a better gate?
Of course, it won't happen because it's such an obvious change to make.
seasonsinthesun wrote:Understand. I suppose I am making it sound too simple, but it is now a free Saturday, the 27th, for both teams, and it just seems to make sense to play it then rather than a Tuesday night, it would be interesting to know what things are taken into account to stop it being changed.
Ian Todd is the president of the Football Supporters' Federation and sits on the fixtures working party that meets to discuss Thompson's list. One year he objected to Morecambe playing at Dagenham and Redbridge in midweek. They tried to alter the fixture but found out that it would negatively impact on so many other games that what Todd calls "the least worst option" was to maintain the status quo.

If you're a Shrimps fan, why would you go to Preston? and how can it impact on the stewards and police? Can someone please explain?

Totally agree with you there, I enjoy Tuesday night games too.

Incidentally, if Crewe are one of the highest scoring sides in your league then you should be 'pishing that tinpot league'
All the best

Always seems to be a better atmosphere at night games I think too. I remember Mark Lillis saying pretty much the same too last season at some point that matches under the lights are special.
Leave it as a Tuesday nighter !!!
