[TornadoHibby]

I think that the Club's business of securing as many ST's as possible for the forthcoming season can only be damaged by a number of games being played at times which don't suit a lot of fans as much as the more conventional ko times! :confused:

However, as long as TV pays for covering matches played at these "different" times, Clubs will just need to accept that the other side of getting the TV revenue is that guys who like to watch football from their seat at the stadium will be thinking about whether a "walk up" ticket purchase approach might be better for them in these financially challenging times for them and many other such people! :agree:

[WestEndHibee]

The MYB are all in! :flag:

[Paloschi]

Me plus the misses (mate is in Germany :rolleyes:)

Quite excited to see Dundee Utd actually! Alot of good promising young players from both sides. I can see us sneaking a 2-1.

[superfurryhibby]

Double booked. Didnae realise game was on the Friday. In this case the ladyfriend takes priority!

[QMU-1875]

Can't wait for it. Quite like the Friday night fixtures!

Been looking forward to a Friday night fixture at ER for while

Last competitive Friday night game at ER outwith holiday periods was 18th April 1958 when Hibs lost to East Fife 0-1.

[Jones28]

First game since the new year derby! Buzzing for it

I thought all the bsb games were on a Friday night?

[MichelleHibs]

Were they? I can't remember tbh, but I don't remember Hibs being on the telly much around then. By my reckoning we've had 4 competitive Friday games at ER out with holiday periods, and two of those were at tynecastle in 1924 or 1925 when the old main stand was being built.

Anything to add hibstorians? JC or hibbybrian?

Can't think of any Friday nights at ER outwith holiday periods for competitive matches.

Can recall Motherwell away twice and Aberdeen away this season in recent years and a Friday Scottish Cup semi against Celtic at Ibrox in the 90's.

Only Friday night game at ER I can recall was a friendly against either Luton or Millwall.

I think there was a Friday game in john blackleys time against either Moscow dynamo or feyenoord. Don't have my big file handy to check.

Aye.

We've never lost a game when hibs.net has done a half time cheque presentation :smokin

Sure it was the former and if I remember correctly they were in quarters of one of the euro comps. Think we won 2-0

[Hermit Crab]

Is the game on the telly?

Aye BT Sport 2

[KingFranck]

I'll be in the East with mini Franck c'mon the Cabbage

[Dashing Bob S]

Assuming that there is no further news in the next 24 hours from the PBS/Lithuania to rupture already badly damaged sides, I should be there.

[Weststandwanab]

Aye.

[leggeto]

I suspect all games could be played on Friday nights in the future like the Irish league,I'll be there but would prefer sat 3pm

[Pete]

Friday night games are the business and if I had my way we'd be playing every game at this time. Much better than this Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning carry on. :-)

I'll be there to see a win!

[Adniston Burn]

Me and the laddie will be there.

[semaj64]

yes me and daughter will be there looking forward to it.

One of the reasons I think football is played on a Friday in Ireland is so it doesn't clash with the more popular GAA to try and entice more fans along.
Friday is fine for something different in Scotland, and maybe a preferred telervision slot, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of fans would want the traditional 3pm on a Saturday.

[leggeto]

GAA and EPL as the pubs are always mobbed when the likes of Liverpool and man Utd are on they just wouldn't go

[matty_f]

I'll be there. Looking forward to it already!

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

What does everyone think the attendance will be then?

[Sir David Gray]

What does everyone think the attendance will be then?

About 8,500.

[Jonnyboy]

About 8,500.

Sounds about right to me :agree:

Played Moscow dynamo on a Friday evening at ER I think 1985, won two nil a double from Gordon Durie

[EastCalderHibby]

[Alfred E Newman]

Taking my granddaughter but not a great idea having a Hibs Kids game on a Friday night.

I remember that game . Always thought it was a Thursday night for some reason . Looking forward to watching Hibs under the floodlights .
Were the bsb games not on a Sunday at 6.20 pm .

Ggtth

[Ronniekirk]

Not going but think United will bring decent support so might creep up to over 9 000 United have some exciting young players and if on form play attractive football so if dry night a few more locals might be tempted to turn up TB billing it as a Classic let's hope so Best we can get I think is another 2. 2 draw to keep our unbeaten run going

[ballengeich]

I'm going. Both teams have good young home-grown players coming through so could be very entertaining.

[Bishop Hibee]

Me and 6 others. All for goals and glory!

Dundee Utd have a terrible support.

I think we'll have about 8,000 fans there tomorrow night so if they bring down anything like 1,000 fans, I'll be stunned.

Did we not also play Swansea in a Friday friendly at ER the night before an egg chasing game?

[jamiehibee]

Got a rare day off today and tomorrow so two of us going. Few drinks in Musselburgh before I think as well.

You underestimate the power of Friday night football for away fans .
