Thoughts?

I'm only in favour if the match going fans are compensated.

I’d rather watch us lose 2-0 at Stoke than watch Strictly.

So that’s nice.

Fan compensation?

Those that go still will go...those that don't or can't - won't...plus sky will make a mint on prime time Ads, which is, after all, the whole point.

Compensated for what? I don't see what the issue with night games are tbh. It's Sunday the next day, have a sleep in.

There are already games at 5:30 every week, what’s the big problem? Have a train or two on standby to take the traveling fans home.

I remember a few years ago when the last train back from London was cancelled after playing Arsenal. Not good.

As long as geographical consideration is taken into account
Which it won't

Get a bit more imaginative with the kick off time.

Even kicking off at 7.30 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. would make a good difference for people looking for transport home or local fans having a night out afterwards.

But in principal I am not against it.

I remember as a young teenager there was tremendous excitement surrounding a cup tie against the RS at The Park of a Saturday night......and it was relayed live to The Pit where giant screens had been erected.

Little Bally scored the only goal from an acute angle
