When did we last play a fixture on a Thursday night?

[FMBlade1]

Looking at the upcoming Newcastle game made me think. Any ideas?

(excluding boxing days from previous years)

Why are we playing Thursday?

Why are we playing Thursday?

I have no idea, I was just reminded about the game from the club via email. Newcastle aren't in Europe or the cups like us... weird.

Swindon playoff first leg in 2015 was on a Thursday.

Why are we playing Thursday?

We were due to play Tuesday but our game at Wolves got shifted to Sunday as they're in the Europa league the Thursday before.

We could have been shifted to midweek but I'm guessing Amazon prefer to extend their week of midweek coverage to three days.

And as a result our game at Norwich has been shifted to Sunday which means I can't bloody go.

Fuck Thursday night.....we’re chasing down the Manc Citeh spot.

I thought amazons offering was just around the festive period, does this mean that this game is on Amazon as well?

It's due to Amazon buying all the Tuesday night fixtures - only realising afterwards that if the screen them all on the same night they won't get the viewing figures they were hoping for. So they have been spread over a number of nights.

Very good, winner!

But I'll cheat by asking:

When did we last play a league match on a Thursday?

Can I have your ticket then?

Didn't a game late on in the first Wilder promotion season get shifted to a Thursday because whoever we were playing had a huge fixture backlog?

 

[wizadry]

We played Coventry away on a Thursday night, I think?

Coventry away in the whistle game.

You given up on catching Liverpool already?

And we did we last play a midweek League home game with a 7:30pm kick off?

Maybe we could have a 10 minute half-time and a 9:10 finish like we used to. More drinking time.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

One of the best ever united games was played on a Thursday night, 2003 v Forest in the play-offs

Very true, but does anyone know when we last played a first team league fixture on a Thursday night at home?

(even more specific)

He won't let it go will he

No. Our last five home games in 2016/17 were on five different days of the week, which is probably some sort of record, but none of them were on a Thursday.

 

[ZLB]

Exactly. ATFQ.

Weren't Peterborough games always a 7:30pm kick off so their fans could catch the train back?

I am afraid I can't make Thursday night games as it is hair washing night.

Sorry.

Coz it's more challenging than playing wensdi

Coventry away in the whistle game.

I came here to say that. Remember it well. I was flying to Spain next day, it was week before Xmas

Didn't ITV digital introduce Thursday night games in the 2001-02 season? I think we played at Rotherham in one

We did. Pissed it down if I remember rightly. Brown scored a pen didn't he?

But that wasn't the last one. Coventry away in the title season.

I’m going for Forest at home in April 2003. We won 1-0,Asaba scored. That was definitely a Thursday night.
