I must confess to not having paid much attention to the LC Group fixtures up till now, so I've only just noticed that Hibs Travel to Dingwall on a Friday Evening.


Are the SPFL actively trying to discourage people from attending games or what?

Picked for TV. Would have been the Saturday otherwise.

Still though, point is valid.

If it's Friday night, it must be Dingwall !

I recall a Fringe show of that name a long time ago.

Perhaps trying to turn this game into a fringe event.

Ross County deserve a home televised fixture as much as anyone else.

Why couldn't it have been played on the Saturday lunch time or even the Saturday evening?

It's not as if there's any other football being shown at the moment which would clash with it!

It's true you can't please everyone but playing it on a Friday night when the visiting fans face a 7 hours round trip is ridiculous.

Ross County fans face similar a lot of the time when they play away.

They do, I agree and I would be saying the same if this match was being played at Easter Road.

Can't think of Rangers or Celtic having a Friday night game at Ross County

Or am I just wearing my tin hat?
