Hmmm the choice between a long journey to an away match after work and in rush hour traffic then getting back late and up for work the next morning or staying at home and watching on TV - not going to do a lot of good for encouraging fans onto the terraces imho

Not sure on that one Al

Realised a few years back that SKY will happily ride roughshod over all of us in order to pull in the advertising revenue from televised matches

The games will only be when the football season is not on, so likely to be between may and july, so should not be for too long

I'm up for this! For reasons unknown to me I prefer going to evening games and it would give me something to watch on a Monday, harsh on the travelling fans though!

Any other night yes please but not mondays i work till 8.30 so would miss half the game

Best not clash with coronation st or sky will fail on this one.

Too many people think the world stops turning at 5pm.some of us do shifts,not stuck in an office watching the world go by.why do they think in the past football was on Saturdays and rugby on Sundays?????

poor excuse can't you just slope off crying wolf with an upset tummy bug

Maybe a better chance for the game to be seen by others on a Monday. Saturday teatime never feels right. If it's a third game, bring it on. If it's in place of the Saturday game, I think its better. Would only affect us a couple of times, and the same for all clubs.

The issue might be those teams who have to back up the following Friday. This isn't Wendyball.

Ah but don't forget some people work Sundays too!

if they did local matches on monday nights it wouldnt be THAT bad. eg wakefield vs cas/ leeds/ huddersfield/ bradford at 8. hull vs hull kr. saints/ wigan/ warrington/ salford/ widnes.

as long as its one of these games i dont see it affecting the crowds so much, if for example it is widnes vs hull.... no one will go.

I have to say something like this is music to my ears. I have to miss so many Friday night and Saturday night games through work that this is just up my street. As I didn't want to miss Widnes I had to book Friday off but as I'm self employed won't get paid. Monday and Tuesday are my days off so better for me all round. I can understand most peoples point of view though and I guess I'm in the minority here, but certainly this is great news for me.

Have you agreed to let yourself have the day off yet?
