Game on New Year’s Eve

[backofthenet18]

Home to kings lynn moved from New Year’s Day to 3pm New Year’s Eve!

[MK Iron]

Very odd to have a 15:00 kick off on a working day.

[BigLeftToe]

What idiot has made this decision? 3pm KO on a normal working day is ridiculous. If that’s an error and it’s actually a 7:45pm KO then it’s still ridiculous given that it’s NYE!

[64]

It must be a mistake,this is massively contentious and no explanation?

[Deereyme66]

This would never have happened under the Tories.

[64]

I reckon we’re a Tory club

[Northumbiron]

Not with the word “unity” on the badge we’re not!

[Awaywego]

It’s always happened with this club they are run by muppets and i don’t mean the owner’s, if they want to move to any game move the boxing day game when transport is shite, never given a shite about the fans remember them once moving a Saturday game to a Friday night game which then consided with valentine’s day who the heck in the right mind would think that was ok.

[Deereyme66]

Do we know it was our club’s decision awaywego?

[Just Iron]

Which Muppets are you talking about, Awaywego? As Deerey rightly asks …. Do you know that it came from within the Club?
Also …. What’s up with you?

If you don’t know by now JI you never will.

Kiddy game at ours also moved forward to Friday 30/8/24.

Says 3:00pm kickoff which also sounds a bit strange and would mean Monday and Friday games that week.

Do you know who this is down to? I see your NYD game was also changed.

[64]

These changes are stupid,the club must explain

[BigLeftToe]

Absolute madness, wtf is going on!?

[CMC]

Grimsby home to Bradford that day, Hull City away, so can’t see it being a Humberside Police Request.

Maybe the club want to trial Friday nights again.

Also i do have a small smile when people get angry over moving from the Sacred 3pm saturday. That’s going looking at the latest Football league TV Deal.

[Iron-awe]

Used to enjoy the Friday night games back in the sixties, 7.15 KO to help the night shift workers at the steelworks, Cassidy,Heath, Keegan, Kerr performing under the lights absolutely magic. Don’t forget the sky’s going orange/ red when Lysaghts slag ladles were being tipped, often coincided with a home goal going in.

If they want to trial a Friday night game then they’ve chosen quite possibly the worst option in the season given that we have a game on BH Monday the 26th.

[Awaywego]

Yes I know it’s our decision both teams have to agree to a change.
I refer to the muppets Turnbull, moody and co,when in the NL Turnbull got the Barnet game changed at short notice from a Saturday to a Friday night game knowing full well many of us had train tickets bought that were made useless, just to give our useless players an extra day recovery before going to Eastleigh it worked really well I think we only lost 2-0 but cost me over £50.
Hope they don’t change the kiddie away game to a Friday night at short notice they wouldn’t do that would they.

[MK Iron]

Any slight increase in home fans attending likely to be more than offset by many less Kiddy fans able to make the Friday night game.

Used to like a Friday night fixture back in the day when I was playing every Saturday but surely they should have experimented with a fixture against a club whose fans could have fitted in a taxi.

[Ironfan]

Great, bought a season ticket for the first time in years and thats already two games I cant make now

[64]

There are arguments for and against Friday night games, but surely 3pm on a weekday is plain stupid

[another fed up fan]

Someone should be telling us what is going on with this decision has to be an error surely.?

Whilst i’m sceptical about those you mention AWG we do have a new person on the board who is supposedly the brains behind this(See video). MH has talked about making GP a year round venue.

It seems to be working for HKR with them selling out a fair few games this season.

[Harriers9]

Three and a half hour trip for us so count out those fans working.

I get the impression that we are not the only game switched from New Years Day to New Years Eve afternoon

[Awaywego]

To make it an all year round venue the ground needs moving CMC somewhere near Sainsburys wouldn’t be bad.
The England game they televised was a flop on the bar side of things.
Never had the promised big concerts.
Supposed to lose the car park so that’ll probably mean no circuses down there anymore (team excluded of course)
Unless they put a load of plastic pitches on the training ground to hire out I can’t see what they can do to attract people down there.

[mistertonmick]

Don’t you want us to succeed, Awaywego, even Grimsby wasn’t built in a day

[Awaywego]

Course I want them to succeed Mick, It just takes them to grasp the metal and they could if they choose to,won’t hold my breath though.
It’s not rocket science just a bit of thoughtfulness to fans and a bit of marketing.
Lets just see when they push for more lottery members for an instance.
