The reasoning behind us playing on Monday night?

[local_blue]

Given that ourselves and Sunderland have just had a blank weekend because of the international break, I can't see the logic in us losing another weekend when there is only ONE live game scheduled for Sunday this week (Swansea v Chelsea). Surely they could have had the normal 1.30 and 4pm kick offs on Sunday and included our game,especially when they have all the European matches in next midweek.

I don't mind it at all it makes me not dread Monday so much.

Extra day to get ready, early Sunday kick off are awful, much better on a Monday night.

Because there's only been one MNF so far this season and Carra and Nev need to earn their wage

Sky pay the piper and thus call the Monday night tune

With Citeh, Manure and Chelski all drawing over the weekend, it gives Ronny Clogs more time to ensure we get the five goals needed to go top.

Did you enjoy the Yeovil game mate?

Sky pay the bills basically, so we have to do what they say

...I think the reasoning is because it's been selected for the telly game.

I like us playing on a Monday night, might be wrong but we seem to do well. Or it might be me remembering us beating Liverpool on a few Monday night games.

Great excuse for going to the pub on a Monday night, what more reason do you need ?

Ha, ha! Actually thought along those lines yesterday looking at the table

The TV rights are sold as 7 packages, with Monday and Friday night games being one of them. 18 games need to be shown on Monday nights this season. This week it's our turn.

So it's a boring answer, but it's just package filling.
