When i was last over there i suggested more games should be played on Friday nights, no one could give me a decent answer but nearly everyone said no. The only excuse that sounded plausible was that it is hard to allocate large numbers of police to these matches as Friday nights are generally a busy night for them and they cant spare the men. Ive got rellies in the UK still and they dont know why either
Come to think of it, I do recall seeing that mentioned in a thread on this subject.
Drinking louts play a big role in determining the timing of many fixtures, in particular big rivalries.
Although at the end of the day, SKY controls the world now, so it is a surprise we don't see more Friday night football. Unless perhaps they see this as a dead viewing time slot due to all the geezers being down the local?
