What about families with kids?! You know, the same kids who are the future of the sport. They won't be able to go to the games as they'll be getting home to late with school the next day.'" Reading your tweets and fb statuses, this seems to me like you're annoyed because you will be unable to get "messy" and "extremely drunk" on away days. It will probably be only one game, it's no massive deal, as it's not exactly the whole season.

What about people who work friday or saturday nights, far less happening on a monday to stop people going.
A few people may be too mothering to take kids on a school night but I cant imagine any grown ups being bothered about staying up past 11.
Personally I can think of loads of things that I would rather do on a friday or saturday night and save the rugby for monday.

You obviously can't please everybody.
But the majority of people work Monday-Friday and enjoy their leisure activities at the weekends!

Last time you went to a home game you had to ask somebody how you were supposed to get home after annoying the hell out of everyone all day, and falling alseep on the service bus to town! You're not at liberty to comment!

| Do crowds for MNF in the Premier League suffer from any notable drop in gates?
Any any club that is basing their income on "away fans" has a pretty flawed business model anyway, so I don't have much sympathy for that argument.

982.jpg [quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Is that off-set by the advantage of the longer recovery period preceding the Monday game?

| Roll back to the mid 90's, week in week out without fail the solid chants of 'you can stick summer rugby up your a5se'
That seems to have worked out well..........
Monday night seems a curve ball, but it's just another night of the week. I'm open minded to seeing how this pans out.

No s**t, you would think monday night games were being played on the moon going by some of the hysteria.

| I can see it working. Other sports play mid week fixtures, and monday night football seems to work great. I can't see the difference in getting to games on a monday after work as apposed to on a friday after work. Apart from not being able to have ten pints after the game.
It does suit me to have games on a monday, I must confess. I am far more likely to get to a monday game, rather than a friday or sunday game, due to my work schedule.

| It also works over in aus, where Monday nights are a spectacle of the week. I mean I know they have a wider tv audience, and rugby league is a lot bigger over there. But this really could boost rugby league in England
