3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| From a personal pov it doesn't bother me now that I am retired. However, I've always maintained that the local games be played on Friday but the inter county games be played on Saturday or Sunday.
The majority of people who are working find the M62 journey on Friday night a real pain.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| The question is how many extra fans would a sunday pull in and would it compensate for the loss of home fans?
I understand the liking for away fans on a sunday. But home fans playing on a Friday means that you have the whole weekend free. A friday night probably has least impact on home fans in terms of oppertunity for attendance. Work. Food. Kids if you have young uns to bed. If not time for a pint and then down to the match. Still leaving time left after the match for a night out.
I also think Saints took into account corporate when switching to a friday. Getting corporate there on a friday after work is easier than getting people in on the two days off.

| I think Friday night games before May are largely horrendous. We move to summer to take advantage of the better weather and then play our games in the dark on a Friday night. It means the kids turn up for the games half asleep and you sit there freezing yourself to death.
The new stadium is going to be a weird experience. I will not be going to any friendlies so the first game will be on a Friday in early February no doubt. Cold, wet and dark. Brrrr.

| Friday nights for me, and given some of the attendances of recent Sunday games, most other Saints fans too.

| Definately Fridays for me, finish work (and whilst it can sometimes be a pain crossing pennines on M62 Fridays at 5pm) go watch Saints and then the rest of the weekend is free to do whatever I want to. Sundays would be a bad move imo
