No doubt whatsoever. Sad to see such a small Rochdale support.

Next round HAS to be the Sunday as far as I'm concerned for the best crowd.

Which is more important: the best crowd or an advantage on the field?

Don't see any major advantage from it being played Friday night. Fev's team are hardly going to be still down t'pit until 5pm, they're virtually full time just as we are.

Agreed not a major advantage, but every little bit counts.

They've been hammering us on Thursday's and Friday's for years anyway

Love to see a Friday night game. The players deserve it and the more progressive fans deserve it. Hope the club doesn't listen to the "we live in the dark ages" fans who are very vocal in there love of Sunday drinking club culture.

I was a big supporter of the Friday night games but in this scenario I think it'd be far more beneficial to take advantage of a big away support on the Sunday, something that should help boost the home support as well with a better prospect of a big atmosphere etc.

You forgot to add and the rest of the days in the week.

We have a handful who work for the Community Dept full-time like you guys but that wouldn't class us as "virtually full time" by any means...the issue around Friday night is whether you want to maximise the crowd or not as you'd get a massively bigger following from Fev on a Sunday than a Friday. Think of what the M62 is like on a Friday evening.

That's always assuming the BBC don't show a bit of imagination for once and realise that this, not Leeds/Sts, is THE most interesting tie of the round...

It would be great if the bbc could showcase leigh v fev as the tie of the round, however it won't happen with Leeds v saints. I'd prefer a Saturday evening.

Just checked football fixtures:-

Sun 27th April

Liverpool v Chelsea 2pm
Palace v man city 4 pm

We need to play sat evening to avoid a clash with these games.

Sat 6pm should in my opinion be the kick off time for all Leigh games if possible it would defo get more people thro the turnstiles ..
