Lato Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'll keep this off the prediction thread. We play on a Monday because everyone else plays on a Tuesday so about 20 years ago we switched and we rewarded with some big crowds when we were in the Isthmian. One Monday night we played Aldershot and had a crowd of about 750. With little or no other football in the country it was probably the highest crowd anywhere that night. Monday night Sky football affected the crowds a little but the drop in status affected us more although we still get decent crowds (more than three figures) on a midweek night. Unfortunately Wealdstone are I beleive playing their midweeks on Monday's this season which might have some affect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS67 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I bet there was a large number of Aldershot fans there that night though. Did you get three figure crowds last season?, if so I can see the reason the club stuck with it. I wonder if the players dislike Monday night games, it cant give them much time to get fit after a game on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lato Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Our guys are used to it...opposition often complain. Gorleston wren't too happy a few years ago as they wutomatically assumed any F.A Vase replay would be on a Tuesday so claimed they couldn't get a side out for a Monday. Mind you credit it to them as they won. Kingsbury also moaned about it for a Charity Cup tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lato Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 I know we got over three figures v Oxford in PDC semi Final and we may have reached it for a couple of others. Yes there were a lot of Aldershot that night but we got crowds of 300 plus v Met Police and Leatherhead in Isthmian Two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
