Thought the Fev fans who made it last night deserve a medal, for travelling in good numbers in appalling weather conditions. That M62 journey is horrendous at the best of times, on a weekday evening!
snag is tv,they knew the people did not want fridays but went ahead,agree with the odd saturday evening in the height of our so called summer,but sundays are a must,get the cash in from season ticket sales early next season
On a serious note, I was impressed with Batley's support at LSV last weekend. When you consider they get about 1,000 at home, to take 2-300 away was brilliant.

I'd say if that game was on sunday in those conditions thered have been less than 1600 on
Agreed - and, by the same token, if last night had been a glorious summers evening, instead of a deluge of Old Testament proportions, we'd have easily had a crowd approaching 2.5k!!
Crowd was over the 1800 'break even' figure, which for me, is the bench-mark - so, from a commercial point of view, the descision was the correct one.

Just not sure how true this is. I am not saying Sunday is necessarily better but Friday night is a no-no. How many less Season tickets will we sell if we persist with Friday (I know of one)?
