Sorry but the opinion of 100 or so stags fans that were free to attend the forum doesn't necessarily represent the thousands of ST holders and other match attending supporters we have ! Some of whom travel long distances to games and I dont think have been taken into account here.

And from some of the reaction clearly a fair number of fans arent happy with the fixture change and to make out there opinion doesn't matter because at a fans forum u had a show of hands just shows the regard in which u hold ur fellow stags fan.

I understand it suits some and not others and respect that ! It's more for me about keeping football on Sat 3pm which all in all (give or take postponement etc) is what u expect in the most part when u buy a season ticket .



Alternatively, a couple of opinions on stagsnet does not take in account the full stags fan base.

If there was loads of uproar about the Exeter game last season I doubt they'd have done it again but that wasn't the case.

Dont know why certain posters seem to want to win what is a discussion ?

I've clearly stated that I understand it suits some and not others but also I'm not going to not say how I feel on a discussion forum. Dont know where the "selfish failure" quote comes from cursive not seen that said ?

Ultimately as we all know the club will do what they will do but to have a differing opinion than many on here doesn't mean it shouldn't be heard.

Seems many posters are quick to jump on peoples differing views and I'm starting to understand why some posters feel a lack of respect of their opinions on here.

Opinions differ and I'm fine with that but I still feel how I feel.

It's not great for me either, and likely rules out my attendance given it's a 2-3 hour drive at the best of times - however, if your main argument against it is that you want to protect a 3pm Saturday kick off tradition then it feels like a ship that has already sailed.

i was replying to bobby, but heyho.

There’s pros and cons, l just it seems there are some who are rather naive in assuming all games will kick off at 3pm on a saturday when this hasn’t been the case for quite a few seasons, and friday nights are coming back.

We were away at tranmere the following week to exeter last season and it was a belting evening/game.

I hope we have another friday night game the other side of christmas.

Quite right. It's kind of a blessing that sky don't really care about league 2 so they aren't shifting our fixtures to different times and days every week. I remember a lot being peed off with the Salford game being moved to a Monday last season. Thank god we don't have that issue regularly.

My argument has nothing to do with that and everything about consideration for away and exiled supporters. But it suits Adam personally so all's good :lol:

well it doesn’t suit me at all really, i’ve got to take a half day holiday, stop at a mates etc.

However when i purchased a season ticket i expected several games would be moved to a friday and i’ve booked the according holidays. I just don’t get how folk are so wound up about something we’ve been doing for the last few seasons and think it’s some magic shock.

Maybe there’s lots of new supporters who don’t know how things work i suppose.

I don't live "around the corner", I've also said that this change suits me personally. What you can't grasp is that this doesn't just affect us two. As for being a "new" supporter :lol:

Can you explain what your argument against ALL our games being played on a Friday night would be?

obviously you’re not a new supporter :lol: you’re not young enough ;)

There isn’t it doesn’t need to be an argument for all games played on a friday.

As folk say variety is the spice of life, i think 1 or 2 games a season is just enough personally. I think we’d all readily agree that the constant changes of times in the championship and premier league would be a massive shock to us all if something so unrealistic ever happened.

Many will purchase season tickets with the knowledge that sadly they’ll miss a few for whatever reason, if a game gets moved to a tuesday for instance unless it’s a massive game (eg the tranmere 1-0 in our 2nd season back up) i won’t make it for logistical reasons.

For me, the exeter attendance last season speaks volumes, it was also one of tranmeres highest attendances of the season when we played them away the week after.

I don't disagree Adam (apart from the age thig :lol: ), though I'd wager the Exeter attendance would have been just as high, if not higher, the following day. If the club wants to play one or two Friday games then why not pick them when fixtures are announced, giving fans time to make or alter plans? As we've read, one person booked his holiday based on being back on Saturday for the game, lots more will be similarly affected. I do go back to my main gripe though, that is this really stuffs the away fans, maybe in this case small numbers, but it will be even smaller now.

If you can't get to the Friday night match and you're a season ticket holder, you'll be attending automatically. Problem solved.

Very true, in fact as you won't physically be there but will be attending you'll be able to take your seat in the Bishop Street stand.

Just imagine how people will complain when we get to the premiership and play hardly games at 3pm on a Saturday.

I do quite enjoy home Friday night matches but always feel a bit sorry for the visiting supporters if it is a team a long way off like Exeter last season.

I recall we played at Southend away in 2013/14 season on a Friday. There were 199 Stags fans at that game and it was in the middle of a run of 14 league matches without a win.

The following week was the 8-1 win at St. Albans in the FA cup and we were losing in that match just before half time.

At least a Friday match gives people who ground hop a chance to get to a new ground on the Saturday.

I don’t mind it if it’s a one off, or maybe another near the back end of the season.
I don’t think it will and I wouldn’t want it to be a regular thing.

There are ups and downs for everyone so we just have to go along with it. I work Tuesday nights so miss a lot of evening games and every time a Saturday match is postponed in the winter it’s usually played on a spare Tuesday so I miss out again.. swings and roundabouts and the odd Friday game makes a change. We had a good night in Tranmere despite the result.

happy with what i said, just bored with folk on here complaining about bloody everything, get over it.

Given some of the posts in here you’d have thought we’d have moved out home games 150 miles to be played on a wednesday afternoon.

It’s a friday nignt game as a one off, maybe 2 a season, get over it and stop complaining, such a big issue don’t get a season ticket next season.

simple.
