I don't like it. The club should want as many fans at the G as possible when we unfurl the flag. Playing on Wednesday night will deter some people and reduce crowd numbers i reckon. There'll be plenty of time for blockbusters during the rest of the season.

I'm going to look on the bright though. At least its not on a Monday night

I think many have overlooked a key aspect of this scheduling. We can play at this time because it is the first match of the season, therefore no match the previous week. It is a great opportunity for us to have a standalone match and has the added bonus of being the first of the season with the heavy publicity that brings. I think it is a fantastic idea and an appropriate reward for the previous season’s outstanding team which we undoubtedly were.

I don’t like it but I’ll be there with bells on. 

Same. 

Might skip the bells tho.

The idea of playing in the first match of the round grew on me last year when we won those Friday night games. Looking forward to it now.

I get that. I would just prefer the first game wasn't scheduled for a Wednesday night.

Anyways, i've said my piece over a number of posts. Nevertheless, I'll be there to see the flag unfurled.

Go Dees
