Cumnock v Talbot is on Saturday 11th March and Meadow v Talbot is on Saturday 6th May. Are you suggesting I postpone a Saturday game just to give Talbot a midweek game. I don't think Cumnock or Meadow would thank me for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 18 League games and still in 2 cups and 13 Saturdays left after this week I'd say yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, but I'm afraid I'll stick with trying to find dates for games that are already postponed rather than postpone games just to fill up a Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the previous post has said, a late summer/early Autumn evening is much more appealing. Another factor I don't think has been mentioned is the the fact that games are now starting at anything up to 8pm....I'm certainly not advocating we go back to the bad old "Satan's incandescence" days, but a lot of time you'd take a flyer on a random 6.30-7pm kickoff game on the way back from work or whatever. Once I'm back home - or indeed if I've been working from home that day - I find myself a lot more CBA about heading back out unless the game's mega-local. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 South Challenge Cup matches this weekend, Scottish Junior Cup quarter finals the following weekend, and WoSFL Cup last 16 coming up later in the month. Once those are clear Kennie will be able to fill in a lot of gaps. At the moment a lot of future dates are pencilled in for the next round of the cups, and Kennie needs to wait to see who's in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s okay for the punters, but don’t forget that the players and management staff need to be there one and a quarter hours before kickoff and kit people even before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, totally - I can remember one time not that long ago when we were slated for a 6.30pm kickoff over at Shotts and witnessed a carload of our players screeching into the car park at 6.25 and getting out in full kit. Hardly ideal preparation for the game. As I say, I'm not advocating a return to the old ways...just on a personal level I find myself less likely to take in a game at night when I'm not likely to make it home till closer to 11. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
