    Friday night games

    I like a Friday night game, when you win, it's just the perfect way to kick off the weekend, am I wrong in thinking we seem to do alright in them?

    I'm not keen, as I prefer the day out on a Saturday, but I think we do have a very good record for Friday matches.


    Incidentally, Hibs played in the first ever Friday evening match, I think against Motherwell.

    Either makes or breaks a weekend. I quite like it.

    By noon today, both Hibs and the team I play for here in Switzerland had won 2-1. Love the Friday night Kick off slot, as far as alternative kick off slots go.

    I like the Friday games. It means I can go to the pub, put a few bets on and watch the scores come in on a Saturday afternoon. It's a nice wee change for a saturday

    Really like Friday night football,Hibs generally do well under the floodlights.

    Were we not the first club in Scotland to have floodlights installed ?

    Especially given that a lot of them will have involved long trips.

    We've played 4 Friday night games this season so far, we lost away at Aberdeen (1-0), Won away at Dundee(2-4), Drew with the huns at home (1-1) and won last night. Aberdeen was a bad one, getting home at 01:30 and having that losing feeling early on in the weekend. All the others have been pretty good weekends for me, 1/3 point/s in the bag and a free weekend to do what you want. So this season I like Friday night games, this may change season to season though


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Without looking much deeper they played Bournemouth away in their last game on a Saturday. The away game before that was Saturday 2nd March.

    Maybe they meant that Newcastle's last fifteen Monday night games have all been away and none were at St James?
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Friday night football has been normal in countries with summer football like Ireland and Denmark for a long time now . If Scottish leagues start playing all summer ( we almost have all summer football anyway ) Friday evenings might be a good idea - less clashes with golf / bowls / other summer sports / summer days out etc.
    What happens when we play on a Friday ? Do players rest on Saturday and train on Sunday ?

    That would seem way more likely
